Comments about Injinji Performance-Series Lightweight Crew Toesocks:
When I was in high school and college I used to play basketball easily 3 hours everyday. I would constantly get blisters on my instep and on the balls of my feet. I hated it but I dealt with it by doubling up my socks which wasn't a good idea. Now I tend to play ball 5 hours a week, 2.5 hours each outing. After converting to toe socks I haven't had a blister in 2 years of playing. Given I don't play nearly as much it's expected but my feet feel much better, they don't smell nearly as bad and they are dry when I'm finished which is impressive considering I play with ankle braces. These socks are great and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for some pedalian relief.

Comments about Injinji Performance-Series Lightweight Crew Toesocks:
I can't imagine not wearing Injini toe socks anymore. I have been buying them for four years and add to my collection each fall. My feet tend to be damp, especially where my toes rub together. I wear the thin ones in the summer by themselves. In the winter I wear them everyday, including alone with my fav Frye boots or as liners under old-fashioned toeless socks. Sometimes they do get holes in between the toes but even when I don't take the time to put in a stitch, the holes have not gotten so big that I can't wear the socks anymore. I do prefer the older liners (discontinued last year sometime) because they were a little thinner than the ones currently available but the older ones get a little "crunchy" on the bottom after a couple years. The newer ones don't seem to be doing this so far. All in all, a good investment that make my feet happy, reduce odor, eliminate blisters, and keep my toes warm by wicking moisture. Sort of a pain to wash because I air dry them. I found long narrow plastic bins at a place that rhymes with "retainer bore" that let me fold my toe socks and stand them upright in the bin, which tidies up the sock drawer in my dresser.

I bought these for use with my Vibram FiveFingers toe shoes. They do very well with helping regulate temperature in my feet, for the most part.
The thinness of them keeps my feet a little cooler on warmer days, but leave my feet slightly more prone on colder days. Also, while I use them for everyday use, I can imagine them wearing out on longer hikes, but hopefully you wouldn't use such a thin sock on a longer hike anyway.

Comments about Injinji Performance-Series Lightweight Crew Toesocks:
I have owned several pairs of regular weight Injinji socks for many years. The only problem with them was they were a bit too thick to wear under thick socks. I was happy to buy a pair of these, and haven't had a problem with them yet. They are very thin, which is great.
I have very blister prone feet and will get blisters easily on my toes if I don't either use some kind of lube or wear toe socks. Socks are much nicer. I wear these pretty much whenever I wear socks and am planning to walk.
I'll buy more, but the shorter ones this time. If they wear out, well, that's why I buy them from REI...

Some of you tough hikers that have written in about these socks being too light or giving out too soon, why don't you just buy the heavier socks offered? I'm just an old walker (3 to 5 miles a walk) and these AND the heavier socks have saved my feet from blisters.

Comments about Injinji Performance-Series Lightweight Crew Toesocks:
Bought two pairs of these. Wore one pair twice, washed twice, and holes opened up in the seam between the toes. Second pair, wore once, washed once, hole opened up between first two toes. Have had similar problem with other of this brand, but usually after 10-12 wear/wash cycles. Toe socks in general aren't very durable, but for [$] I think it's reasonable to expect more than two wearings.

These socks gave me the biggest blisters I have ever had - the size of a 50 cent piece on my heel.
I usually just wear wool hiking socks for day hikes, but for multi day hikes I have worn sock liners in the past and have not had any problems. I am training for Kilimanjaro - an eight day walk, so thought I'd try out some different sock liners on some day hikes in preparation.
This weekend I was wearing my Scarpa boots that I have had for years and the wool socks I always wear. I went on a four hour hike on the first day and a small blister started to form on my right heel. On day two with the blister covered I set out again with the same liners and socks. After a six hour walk I took off my boots and socks and had two large blisters on both heels.
The sock itself is comfortable but I will be throwing them out and starting again whilst I get my feet back into walking shape.

Comments about Injinji Performance-Series Lightweight Crew Toesocks:
I love these socks, but unfortunately they just can't stand up to anything more than casual use. I wore them half a day under Asolo Power Matic boots and Smartwool heavyweight socks. I went for a small hike, was running/sprinting for about a mile, and walked around town for about an hour. They both have already developed holes in between the toes. I wear size 11 wide boots and have the large size socks, they fit alright except around the toes where the socks are definitely too small and short. The right one also has a thread that worked its way out.
So again, these are an awesome idea, they are extremely light and breathable, they keep your feet very dry, comfortable, and blister-free, but they just can't stand up to more intense activities.
I'll be trying the Wigwam Gobi's now.. But I'll miss the toe-socks :(

I don't know about longevity, yet, however they seem to be durable. Takes a little effort to put on correctly, but worth it. Keep toenails trimmed.
