I've been wearing Injinji toe socks for about 5 years now in my "normal" running shoes. I had major blistering issues between my toes and the toe socks solved the problem. I have yet to completely wear out a pair, my oldest pair (5 years old) are still fine, not good enough for running anymore but perfect for bumming around in. The only downsides to these socks are: They take longer to put on and you need to monitor them closely when washing them to prevent the 'sock goblins' stealing only your left socks so you look silly wearing one toe sock and one normal sock
StormwatchNZ...thanks for sharing your experience. I agree, they are comfortable once they are on your feet, but difficult to put on. I have to get into that Zen mind set so I don't get too frustrated while I slowly manipulate each toe into it's proper pouch! 🤣
Great review. I just started back working out with walking for 60 mins a day. My toes are already rubbing together so I will definitely look into these socks.
I absolutely love my Injinji socks. The lightweight running socks are super comfortable in warm weather The medium weight trail socks are particularly comfortable in cooler weather and very soft and well constructed. Their heavier wool socks get poor reviews though. I have about 6 pairs of Injinjis and love the fit and toe freedom and wouldn't wear anything else with my barefoot shoes.
I recently got a pair of injinji run and hike length socks for trail runs. I'm only doing about 4 miles per run. Def prefer the hike length as they hug they hug the ankle a bit tighter and keep debris from entering from the top.
I feel like Vibram five fingers are literally meant to be worn barefoot, but the closed toed barefoot shoes can benefit from socks, but five fingers are like you’re going to the extreme so you might, as will be extremely completely bare feet if you’re going five fingers.
I recently got some cheap knockoff "Fun Toes" socks that seem pretty comparable. They were $3.33/pair ($20 for 6 pairs) and I'm tempted to just get rid of all of my other socks and just use these. I'm not sure about how I'll feel about them once winter rolls around though.
Go and Love, I totally understand. After putting them on, it takes a while to not think about the funny feeling in my toes...ha! It goes away in about 15 mins.
Jagannath...thanks for watching my video. However, I have to give you some tough love. If you can't afford these socks, no biggie. They are a "luxury" item. I used to buy cheap socks at Costco before and they worked fine. If you really want a pair of these socks, save $2 or $3 a week and you'll be able to order some in just a few weeks and pay for them in cash. Or, get a side job so you can save up and pay for them . You will cherish them more if you buy them on your own and at the same time be more confident that you can do this with other items in the future. You can do it!

I bought those yellow and black Injinji ones. I think they look GOOD on me!
Awesome Azrial!!!

Pam...yes, the socks will definitely help!

John G., glad you like them. I'm pretty impressed with them myself.

Thanks DialTheGate Plays. Good point on keeping out the debris. I didn’t think of that. I’ll have to give those a try!
Thank you very much for your in depth review!
Rodrigo Souto...thanks for watching!

I tried going barefoot in them a few times, and unfortunately, they start to smell...so I ditched that and got 5 toes socks.

OrdinaryHuman...let me know how long they last!
Yea, my wife loves those socks. I personally can’t get over that uncomfortable first feeling

@@FitnessFinance4u but toe socks look ridiculous!
Aonijie is a chinese brand know for their trail running and running apparel and equipment in Asia
👍
Their quality went down about five (?) years ago... they used to last longer than they do now.
Interesting Derek...and good to know!
Hey how are the socks doing now?
Did they last (hows the durability aspect)
The Peripatetic Accrescent...they are holding up quite well!
I’ve been wearing vivos for about 2 years with regular Costco socks. What’s your opinion on the socks and performance 6 months out?
James Bui...I've never tried Costco socks. But you did put the idea in my head. Especially if they offer sport and five toe socks!
I just hate putting those socks on. It is just annoying to put them on.😂
They are...but they keep the shoe from smelling!
None of these sock ppl tackle the issues of us flat footers.
I need this socks very much but I have no money.
Please help me and give me one.
Kindly do some Charity to most needy person like me.
Please

And you can wear toe spreaders !!
