What Team Injinji is Saying 

These Team Injinji athletes tried the new Run socks and raved about the updates.  

"The Injinji socks we know and love but revamped with even more exciting features that make our feet feel like they are being hugged and loved the entire run. The new arch support is my favorite feature, giving you a snug fit without feeling restricted while you run. They are lightweight and sweat-wicking to keep those blisters away while keeping your feet nice and cool. I am loving this new and improved sock!"  

-Kati Keenan, Marathon Runner 

"I love these new socks! The material is extremely soft and comfortable. Not only that, but the socks seem to fit and hug my toes even better. These are perfect!”  

-Mike McKnight, Ultra Marathon Runner and Coach 

"I really love the way Injinji has revamped their run socks. The way the socks hug my feet keeps me feeling secure over a variety of terrain and their breathability is unmatched—I wore them during a fast 50K desert race then again a few weeks later during a 60K traverse across sand and washes, and both times my feet stayed dry and comfortable."  

-Jade Belzberg, Ultra Marathon Runner and Coach
