Injinji Liner Crew Sock

Toe socks...not just a 7th grade fad!

The last few years I've had increasing problems with overlapping toes, in spite of sizing up on boots and shoes. If you've ever had this issue, you know how painful it can get and even a few miles feel like torture on your feet.

I decided to give these liners a try and I am very happy I did! Put in a good 10 miles yesterday and didn't have one issue. I used a thinner sock over them but in my "sock fit" shoes, they weren't too bulky. Not at all. The shoes are GoreTex but no issues with hot or sweaty feet with the liners. They seem to wick very well.

I am thrilled to find such a simple solution to a nagging problem. I had no pain after yesterday's walk. There's no doubt these will be equally effective in my heavier backpacking boots. They do take a second to put on and they are L/R oriented, but that is not a bother to have a comfortable hike.

Background

My first time with toe socks. I've used liners off and on for years.

They work well as next-to-skin liners for mountaineering boots. Use them as liners for most of your climbing seasons...just add a mid-weight sock or thick mountaineering sock over them and add good aftermarket foot-beds and you will have dry comfortable feet for the duration of your trip!

I use Injinji crew toe socks extensively whenever I go into the mountains. At first I tried Injinji ankle toe socks as that was all I had when they first came out on the market. Used them for trail running and training hikes with lightweight hiking socks over them.

Very comfortable and I have had no problems with them bunching up or causing blisters..etc. I started using the crew length ones because I need more sock since I needed them as liners for my various mountaineering boot sets for different seasons.

I'll never switch back to my old style liner socks. Toe socks really do work!

I've been a fan of liner socks for years to prevent blisters when I hike, but Injinji socks are a game-changer. They are amazing!

I got them to wear with my FiveFingers shoes, but now I wear them with all my shoes -- running shoes, boots, everything. I even snuck the black liner socks into my dress shoes for a funeral the other day and I've never been so comfortable in those awful shoes!

I'm totally sold. They make my feet so happy!

I never thought I could eliminate blisters with such a simple solution. Sock liners are crucial to my foot happiness.

If you are going on a distance hike, especially on a hot day, these are a MUST.
