Still hesitating on picking up your first pair of Injinji socks? We know it can be intimidating so we asked a new staff member to detail their first experiences with toesocks.
Before getting a pair of Injinji socks, I had never worn a pair of toesocks in my life. The thought of fabric wrapped around each individual toe sounded annoyingly uncomfortable, like when you try wearing flip flops with regular socks on. If you've ever attempted this like I have, it feels like a wedgie, but for your toes. It just doesn't feel quite right, like food stuck in your teeth. That's what came to my mind whenever I thought of toesocks.
Recently however, I just picked up my first few pairs of Injinji toesocks and gave them a try. A few things I noted on my first day wearing them were their feel, fit, and performance.
Feel
The moment I tried on my first pair of Injinji socks, my toes definitely felt a little weird being individually wrapped. It was their first time ever experiencing such a feeling. But as the day progressed, I slowly started noticing that my feet were much less sweaty, sore, or cold than usual. They just felt... comfortable! When the day was over and it was time for bed, I took off my socks and my feet felt great. My feet had gotten used to the toesocks feeling within hours and I enjoyed wearing these more than my usual daily cotton crew socks.
If you're sitting for most of the day, the Everyday toesocks are a comfortable dress sock option that felt best on low-activity days. Otherwise, I'd recommend the Trail toesocks that are a bit thicker in weight and feel much more cushioned, which makes your feet feel more comfortable in mid/high-range activity such as long walks or playing sports. However, if you want your feet to stay even cooler, then Run Lightweight toesocks are a viable option due to their lightweight ultra-thin feel and breathability.
Fit
The design of toesocks conforms to the exact shape of your foot which results in a superior, anatomical fit. I have not experienced any creasing or wrinkles on the bottom of the sock when putting shoes on, and the fact that each toe is protected helps prevent blisters during activity. Each sock also has a band on the cuff that helps keep your sock from falling.
Performance
No matter which pair you end up with, they all do an exceptional job of being useful and practical for any type of physical activity. Whether you're a runner, biker, soccer player, or even just lounging, there is a pair of Injinji toesocks for you to enjoy.
