The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
If you run in FiveFingers and they fit snug without socks, these are perfect. The regular Injinjis made my KSOs and Bikilas uncomfortable but these are thinner and make a great fit. Great for running on the hot summer pavement to provide an extra barrier for blistering.
Note: These are NOT the Micro fit, they are the Mini fit. Injinji doesn't make the liners in Micro, just Crew and Mini.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
I first got a pair of these after I had been wearing my first pair of Vibrams 5-Fingers all summer. I decided to try these out for when the weather was getting colder so my feet wouldn't freeze.
Fit: I was a little concerned weather or not they would make my 5-fingers fit too snuggly or be harder to get on, but they didn't make them feel too tight at all, and made the 5-fingers actually easier to get on my feet. Having no seams on the toes makes them feel like they aren't even there!
Material: The CoolMax material these are made out of are awesome for breathability and moisture wicking. Anybody that owns the Vibrams 5-Fingers undoubtedly has dealt with them smelling up after a while of bare fee wearing. With these socks, that is drastically reduced. My second pair of 5-Fingers (the KSO Treks, leather ones) still smell like the original leather smell and have no odor whatsoever, and I have been running 6 miles every other day in them for over a month now! I credit this to only wearing them with these socks!
Value: I'd say that these are relatively pricey for a pair of socks, but considering the material (CoolMax) they are made of, and the rare design of the individual toes, I'd say it's a good value. I just made a point of buying an extra pair whenever I was purchasing other items at REI, and before long I had a decent supply.
The image I submitted makes it look like I have baby feet haha! Must be the angle...

I bought a few pairs of these for our JMT trip based on a review in Backpacker magazine. The testers said they hiked 175 miles without a single blister. I had to give them a try.
At first they feel weird as hell, but you'll get use to them. They are the greatest foot invention since the running shoe. Oh and they wick moisture great, without sacrificing comfort.
I hiked 100 miles in a week and true to its word, not a single blister.

Tried the other version with my Vibram FiveFingers, but they were too tight, these are perfect! Can't even tell you have them on, except your feet stay warm. Went for a run this morning and it was 46 degrees, my feet stayed warm, the shoes felt great, and I am very happy I bought these.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
I bought these to use in my five fingers. I, like the other reviewer, found the regular injinji's to be just a little too snug. These are perfect!
The first thing about these is that they look impossibly small. The toes are barely bigger than my pinky finger, yet I'm supposed to shove my feet in there? They're a bit of a pain to get on, but once they're on I found them to be very comfortable. They're very thin and at times, it's almost hard to tell you have them on.
I do wonder about the durability of them though. If they were sheets, they'd have a thread count of 50. Maybe! Once on, it's almost like looking at my feet through a screen door they're so thin. They work well though and did keep my feet relatively cool. Certainly much cooler than regular injinji's.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
While these did fit well, and work with my Vibrams, I don't find them much use.
The material is odd, and made my feet itch, if I stood too long. The toes are starting to rip after a couple uses.
I also don't find much use for them, considering the fact that I rarely use my Vibrams in cold weather.
Maybe if you really want to go running in the Winter, and can't handle the temperatures, but the minor temperature difference isn't worth $10 to me.

I've been using Injinji socks for several years now, mostly walking and around the house. I recently purchased a pair of Vibram KSO's and more recently two pairs of Lightweight Injinji socks. These socks just added to the pure pleasure of the Vibrams. I think that the Vibrams and these socks are for people that love to walk barefoot. I hate wearing shoes!!!

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
Bought these specifically to wear with sandals during beach walking to prevent sand rubbing and sunburn. These socks are just the ticket: fit perfectly, dry quickly, and thin enough not to feel bunchy with Chacos. Haven't had them long enough to speak to their durability but look forward to giving them lots of use.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
I really can't understand what all the hype isbout. I really wanted to like these socks and based on positive reviews I gave them a try but find them not for me. First, they are hard to put on and to get all your toes in the appropriate "slots". Also, I do not find them comfortable at all, they feel wierd to me, even after trying them for an extended period of time. They do not keep my feet warm and to top it off they stink to high heaven. I have NEVER had smelly feet but these socks absolutley reek after a day of wearing them. Too bad.

Comments about Injinji Lightweight Mini Crew Toesocks:
I love these socks, but I wish they would at least come in tan and white, too (and maybe gray?). As others have mentioned, for those of us who use Five Fingers and for whom those fit snugly, the regular Injinji socks are too bulky. These are perfect.
