All my super old Injini Trail toe socks (merino and coolmax) are still pretty much fine--like years old, but every new paid I get wears out faster. That's the case for my two newest paid of these merino wool Trail toe socks. The toe tips and ball of feet have worn out in both pair after very little use. My toes are not extra big or long, I keep my nails trimmed, and size up as I'm between sizes. It's extremely disappointing to see the consistent drop in quality in them especially given the increasing cost. I really prefer merino socks for longer backpacking trips, and my toes suffer greatly in regular non-toe socks. But I can't justify buying these again.
I like the socks in principle. They feel good and I believe they could help prevent blisters. My problem is with their durability. The second time I wore them, a hole appeared in the big toe. I don’t keep my toenails long and this was on flat terrain. That should not happen. I bought a second Mr pair at the same time and it looks like a hole is also developing after the first wear. I submitted a claim with the company - hopefully they will replace the first pair, but I’m not very hopeful that they will be more durable.
I’m a fan of Injinji socks, so I was excited to try this merino wool version—and they did not disappoint! I’ve worn the same pair twice this week. Day 1: Over 10,000 steps, including a 2-mile hike in 80-degree, humid weather. My feet stayed dry, comfortable, and—amazingly—odor-free. Day 2: A full day at an amusement park in a spotty drizzle, walking nearly 10 miles. Once again, no blisters, no sogginess, just dry and happy feet. These socks have officially earned a spot in my gear rotation, and I can’t wait to put them to the test on a longer trek
I didn't think I'd like toe socks, until I tried them and now they're all I want to wear! I'm especially excited that they have them in merino wool too!! ❤️❤️❤️
I like them. They don’t last as long as darn tough but they prevent blisters way better and they’re have a much higher percentage of wool than darn tough.
