Injinji  Run Lightweight No-Show Socks

Finally a pair of socks that keep my feet safe in harsh conditions. As an ultra runner, I train and race in all conditions over 100's of miles (Wet, Dry, Hot, Cold, Rocky, Etc...). From multi day adventure runs, weekly training runs, and racing 50-100+ miles, I have yet to have any blisters when wearing these socks. I was also shocked to read the earlier review stating durability issues since I have never had this issue. Thanks Injinji for a durable sock that protects my feet. I consider my Injinji's combined with my shoes the most important products I wear because without blister free feet, you can be stopped dead in your tracks.

I run 20-100 miles at a time on trails (and occasionally off trails) and I needed a durable sock that worked well with my minimal footwear. A friend reccomended these and I really liked how much control I got in technical terrain. The sock also did a great job at preventing blisters that usually form between toes on long runs. The biggest plus is that the socks have seen over a 1000 miles of rough, rocky, dusty, scree filled trails and they've never gotten a hole. I'm suprised by the last review because in my opinion these have been way more durable than my smart wool socks that barely lasted a month (they must have bought an older version of these). Anyways, THESE ARE MONEY (and worth the money).

I was introduced to Injinji socks by a sales associate, when I discussed my problem with hot spots while hiking. She suggested that I try these along with a pair of lightweight hiking socks. When I first put them on they felt very strange (I have never worn toe-socks before), but after adding a second layer with a lightweight wool sock, I could barely tell that I had toe socks on. After my first 15-mile hike with these socks I am very impressed! I'm prone to getting hot spots between my 4th and 5th toe. No more hot spots!!!!!!!

After being referred to the Injinji sock line for running, I looked into the Injinji RUN 2.0 lightweight no-shows for a running sock alternative to running without a sock during runs with both minimalist and maximalist running shoes during humid weather. The socks still keep most of the flexibility of the toes while running and at the same time keeps moisture under control between the toes. The material has held up after running about 200 miles in these socks. I let them air dry as suggested.

In my quest for socks that helped prevent the blisters I'd get when running I ended up trying a pair of the Injinji toe-socks. No more movement between my foot and the sock... turns out that's perfect! Another benefit I found is that wet socks aren't a problem either. If I do splash through a puddle - or run a couple hours in the heat - though they're soaked, I still don't blister. Weird down-side: more movement between the sock and the insole of the shoe means I wear holes through the insoles after a few hundred miles; but it's a small price to pay for no blisters on my feet. I've purchased 20-30 pairs over the last few years. They are now the only socks I wear. I run over 2000 miles a year, so the wear seems acceptable to me. The newer ones last longer than the previous design; but they're thicker / heavier (not by much... but that's the deal).

I've bought Injinji-brand socks for a few years now. LOVE the toe socks--great for trekking. But I won't be buying this model EVER again. That 'lip' you see on the backside is a great place for loads of particulate matter to accumulate; this accumulation then seems to find its way into the sock itself. Every time I take these socks off I have to empty that 'lip' of debris. AWFUL!

I dont run. I bought these to use as liners for hiking/backpacking. When I first put them on I was a bit uncomfortable with having stuff between my toes. These being the first toe sox ive ever bought, I decided to give them a shot and man im glad I did. I could hardly feel they were there. After 15 miles of backpacking in the rain my feet show no signs of blisters or rawness. My feet felt warm and dry even tho they weren't.

I had gotten a couple of blisters on my feet while hiking and just happened to be on the REI site and saw these socks. I decided to read a couple of reviews to see what they were all about and people talked about how they prevented blisters so I decided to try a pair. I've worn them multiple times now and think they work great. They keep the toes separated so there's no rubbing and when my feet sweat, it's all contained. I haven't had any feet issues since using them. They're a little weird to wear at first, but once you get used to them they're just tine.

My little toe curls in, so the nail is pressed against the next toe. This means that when I run, if I don't have something between those toes, I frequently finish my run with bleeding feet. These toe socks are super comfortable and make my runs much more bearable. My only problem is that I'm in the Army, and we have pretty strict rules about logos showing during our formal physical training. The logo across the foot is fine, but the one on the ankle is a no-go, so I'm only able to wear these socks when I'm out exercising on my own. Kind of a bummer. I've had Injinji's mini crew socks that had the logo sewn-on at the ankle, and I could carefully clip the threads to take that off, but I prefer the No-Show (even though they do actually show on me).

This is a great minimalist sock for runners who wear minimalist shoes. I wear these with my Vibram FiveFingers shoes because, well, my feet stink when they sweat! These lightweight socks are well-constructed, fit the toes and heel quite well, and have just enough rise in back to help prevent chafing of the achilles. And, my VFFs don't have to be laundered every other day. If you run in the cold, you might want one of the heavier weight variants, but I usually run in Texas, so... they work very well for me. ( I think I have these in every color they sell now!)
