Garment/delicate mesh laundry bags are a lifesaver for toe socks. Get the small ones in a pack of 3-4. When you take your socks off for the day, thrown them in one of the bags. Limit to 3-4 pairs per bag, so they wash and dry correctly rather than just balling up in the bag. Makes it easy to keep track of right and left of each pair.
Great info, thanks! Going to pick up a pair and see how they feel. I've always had issues with socks wearing out super quick and blisters on long walks. I might actually safe money with these socks if they don't wear out as fast as the cheap stuff!
I love the ultra run Injinji socks. They just feel locked around foot and haven’t had any blisters or hot spots. Im a 10.5 men size and wear large. I noticed the trail edition is a little too stretchy for me. Ultra runs are thick and for some reason they feel better on my foot. My wife hates folding these after laundry because they are size dependent lolol.
Good video bro, I personally have been using Injinjin’s TRAIL 2.0 Midweight Crew since 2019 and only now they are showing wear and tear so I’ll need to throw them out and replace. I also have had the LIGHTWEIGHT CREW WOOL SOCKS which still feels very strong, I think because they are thicker so I don’t think I’ll need to replace them anytime soon. I will also say that drying them is a hassle because the socks can remain posit in between the toes so make sure to properly pull the toes out before drying. Hope this helps
These are great and I agree, wear smaller but also get a shoe size larger to stop your big toe rubbing/clicking. They do feel strange at first. My boyfriend doesn't like them 😅
Like you, I tried toe socks due to some blister issues. I have had trouble with those lightweight Injinji socks. I put a hole in the big toe after just a few runs which is ridiculous considering their cost. The trail version seems much more durable. I actually enjoy some cheap toe socks I bought from Amazon more than any of the Injinji I’ve tried.
I ordered a pair from Amazon before ordering any more(I went with Creepers due to the Merino Wool), and since their size recommendation system recommended a size large, that was what I ordered, and honestly I'd say they seem to fit me perfectly fine. It could be interesting to see how the medium size would compare, but since I don't have an issue with the large size, I ordered more from the Shop app, as that was the least expensive way to get 6 more. I'm used to spending $30 for a 3-4 pair set of socks, but at least with the Shop app, they cost me $15/pair instead of $20, or the $25 Injinji charges for their wool socks
I just bought the lightweight run version. Waiting for them to be shipped. They have loads of models and thickness varieties (lightweight, original weight, mediumweight). I guess more thickness gives you more padding for long treks. Are the lightweight the best and closest to the feel of running barefoot with five fingers vibram (KSO EVO) ?
I’ve tried them all and use them for all different occasions now depending on distance and temperature. The lightweights are very thin. Love them in hot days but don’t feel any less protection.
I’m trying out Toetoe right now. I got the 3D terry walker. I have mixed feelings about them. On the positive side, they are the thickest pair I’ve found so far which I really like because most toe socks seem to be rather thin. The con is that the toes are cut less ergonomically than Injiniji. Although now I’m wondering if that’s just a function of the thicker material having a harder time forming to the shape of the toe. I should add that while Toetoe does make a thin wool crew length sock, I specifically went for the other type because of their substance. I would have liked them to be more than 36% wool though.
When I turn my injinji outdor wool on the toe area, there are loose threads. And it got more of it after washing. I didn't wash scrub it, and I use wool detergent. I am just worried since loose thread can cause blisters.
Weird question but can you play basketball in them with shoes on ? I am thinking about doing so Also with size I wear 10 or 10.5 us size shoes but have long toes and thin ankle I was thinking about L size but I might go with M now after your suggestion

Yeah. Seeing the same with trail edition!!

Right on. Thanks for the message
Thanks! Just bought a pair!
Good choice! By this point they have pretty much become my everyday sock

them 😅
I’ve pretty much worked into wearing them everyday
Great video thanks.
Nice. Actually just bought more. I think they are BOGO this week

Nice!
Happened to me as well. Found myself darning my investment like a grandmother 😅
Thanks for the honest review! Do you still use body glide with them? Or are you free from that with these socks?
Depends on the distance
Re size, also consider if you have loooong toes. In that case I recommend erring on the size up otherwise the digit length may be a bit short
Sounds good

👍🏻
Are these also compression socks? Do they have cushion?
Some are. Some do. They have many different designs
Good info, thanks
You bet

What is your video recording set up?
iPhone
I am between.. i am wearing 45 asics nimbus 26... in Europe they have 40.5-44 and 44.5-47 what do you recommend? Smaller? Greeting from Greece 🇬🇷
Tough call. I used to say tighter the better. Now I would probably say a little loose is better. It’s really personal preference.
Weird question but can you play basketball in them with shoes on ?
I am thinking about doing so
Also with size I wear 10 or 10.5 us size shoes but have long toes and thin ankle
I was thinking about L size but I might go with M now after your suggestion
I’m sure any activity would work. I don’t see what you couldnt
Normally socks have a left and a right though.
If you say so. Haha
