Injinji 2.0 Outdoor Midweight Crew Nuwool Socks

Very comfortable, price was fine, I wore 5 pairs for 21 days on a cstx in Wisconsin and had no blisters or hot spots , probably the best option for work or hiking if you want toe socks . My only complaint is that they seem to shed , probably because they are animal product but after washing they have tiny lint balls on them definitely from the socks themselves and even with hand washing they are there.

These are great.I wear Vibrams Five Fingers for running and a couple weeks ago (before I bought these socks) I had to turn back after about 8 minutes of running because my toes became numb. I was thinking I'd have to buy a new pair of shoes just for running and then buy warm socks and it'd be a ton of money that I wasn't expecting to spend.After some research and some recommendations from others, I decided to give these socks a try. They're a bit expensive for one pair of socks, but they're cheaper than new pair of shoes and a new pair of socks.I've worn these for several runs now, the coldest run being around 22°. During the first couple minutes my feet were slightly chilly, but not painfully so. The rest of my body was also chilly because that's how runs always start when it's cold out and that's to be expected. After about 10 minutes my core warmed up and then my feet started to warm up. I've had no issues with numbness and no issues with my toes being painfully cold.A note about fit: I buy my Vibrams so they're snug with no socks. This prevents movement of my foot within my shoe and prevents awkward rubbing and blisters. These socks are a little bit thicker than the normal Injinji and I was concerned about how they would affect the fit of my shoes. My shoes are more difficult to put on, but they still fit and it's not uncomfortable. The socks are also thicker on the bottom for a slight bit of padding and thinner on the top for breathability.I'm so glad I bought these socks. They've helped me continue to run outside even as the temperatures drop.

I've been using these for work for a little over a year. In that time I've been doing construction and more recently heavy industry, so they've received a lot of abuse. I don't know how wool manages it, but it breathes better than cotton in the Summer and stays warmer in the Winter. I wish I could get everything in wool!At first I attempted to clean them like cotton socks and those first pairs started to wear badly in the heels. For a while now I've been machine washing them then line drying and they've stopped wearing out so badly. At this point I'm confident I'm going to get my money's worth and more from them. Over the year I've been slowly stocking up which helps with the high cost.

People have complained about these wearing out quickly. I burned through 10 pairs in about 4 years, with the big toes and ball of foot areas going first. They are expensive, but %100 the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. If you're on the upper end of the foot size chart, then go bigger, as having these tight will speed up the wearing down process.

I started really getting into hiking in OR, 1.5 yrs ago. And got horrible blisters. These toe socks have saved me.I bought just over 1 yr ago. Worn them 12-14 times. 5-7 mi hikes. They didn't get extreme wearing. I save them for my longer hikes. Typically walk/hike 3-4 mi.As u can see in the pic, wool has worn off. Other 1 is about to as well. Too bad they're not made like other wool socks, ie Darn Tough. They are not. As stated in other reviews, durability is an issue.Know that there is 1 yr warranty. I love em, but from now on I'll be cking em as I come up on that 1 yr. Keep recpt.Fyi, if ur wearing these for blisters, also use a thick creme made for feet n hiking, b4 putting on

I enjoy wearing toe socks both in toe shoes and in regular shoes. I’m prone to blisters and toe socks solve the problem.I’ve never bought Injinji before because I feel they are significantly over priced. Because I was going to do some serious hiking I decided to splurge. They are definitely better for hiking than any of the other toe socks I have bought. I do wish they were cheaper.

My pinky and the toe next to it love each other so much that they can't help but rub together during any period of extended walking/running. After a full day of walking around the Coba ruins in Mexico, my toes were RUINED. The blisters were insane. After we got back from our honeymoon, we started hiking a lot. Same issue. I started doing some research and found these socks. I bought these ones and the shorter, thinner, running socks. I wear these ones while I'm hiking and the others while I'm running or spending a day on my feet. They work GREAT. No blisters so far. Also, I'm totally one of those people who thought I'd hate everything about toe socks. I thought they'd be super uncomfortable. Not at all. Besides taking a bit longer to put on (think putting a glove on a child's hands), they are actually MORE comfortable than regular socks. I'm saving my money to make a big purchase and fill my drawer full of Injinji socks so that I never have to wear regular socks again.

The toes are sawed open by my toenails. Maybe it's me? They are not as durable as single segment socks. I will not be buying toe socks again. If I were wealthy I would buy more because they are very comfortable, but my frugality meter reads "no repeat purchase".

Prodotto molto valido, ci si deve abituare un po' alla sensazione di avere le dita separate, e nel indossarle si ha un po' di difficoltà per fare passare all'interno le dita dei piedi, ma per il resto sono calze di alto livello, non hanno cuciture che possano causare vesciche e tengono sempre il piede più asciutto specialmente tra le dita. Ideali per le escursioni estive, per l'inverno forse sono un po' troppo leggere

OK so yes I get these look a little strange, they take a little getting used to too both in putting them on and the actual feel of having gloved toes. However that's not the only feature of these incredible socks. Once you've got over the initial bizzarness in your head you'll start to understand that these give a small amount of compression too, probably a feature that aids the wicking of sweat away from the foot.These socks are also seamless for comfort, prevention of rubbing and pressure hot-spots. They probably have lots more features that I am failing to mention but honestly, these socks are the best item I have come across for my feet whether I'm jogging, walking or hiking.Just 1 thing to mention is that if you're hiking, these socks are thin and don't retain a lot of heat, that said, for me they are great as my feet tend to get quite warm. In Injinji's defence these hiking socks are used as a liner to be used in conjunction with other socks but in my opinion that starts to affect the fit of my boot.I simply find these to be the best solution for my feet to date, I have not had 1 single blister in them.....yet.....although I seriously doubt I will as I have spent literally days wearing these.My only gripe is that after a full day's hike, you can feel a little pressure in your big toes, I'm sure it's just me and my strange big toes but I do feel like the big toe compartment could do with being slightly larger than the rest.Additional........So, if like me you have problems with your feet there's a few things I can suggest and whilst these products are nothing to do with these socks that I'm reviewing, I think they are worth mentioning as they have become secondary options for me now that I'm wearing these superb Injinji socks. So, to start with is Hyperfix - a tape that is a little tricky to master in its application but very effective in prevention of rubbing. In my experience, it's been great for a couple of hours but if it gets wet then it just slides off.The next option I came across was Body Glide. Looks extly like a stick deodorant and you apply it all over the problem areas to your feet where rubbing is an issue. I was quite the sceptic at first but gave it a go. It actually worked very, very well. It smashed my expectations and lasted a good 8-9 hours. Drawbacks to this product however is that its expensive and I tend to be liberal and......these socks are lasting much longer!

I would have given these a 5-star rating, but for the rather steep price and also some doubt as to whether they confer a huge advantage over good quality, but somewhat cheaper "conventional" hiking socks.I tested these over the 94 miles of the West Highland Way, in warm/hot weather. Previously I had suffered blistering of the toes over similar distance recently and so my feet were now "hardened" and might not have suffered further blistering anyway. I didn't get any blistering, even though (for those who know the WHW) the track in places is tough going - an old military road for many miles, with very difficult foot placement and so quite traumatic to the feet. Each toe is therefore "protected" and cushioned by the socks, which is OK if you have a wide fitting boot. I used a particular wide fit from a well-known German maker and so I had no problems with the extra fabric reducing space in the toe-box area of the boot. I did some days of 22 miles over tough terrain and had little or no problems with the socks. I took great care to ensure the nails were well clipped and filed to prevent premature wearing of the socks. The fabric was pretty much as good as new at the end of the walk as it was at the beginning and my feet were in good shape. On the whole therefore, I think they do confer some advantage, but may not be for everyone - you have to consider the width of your foot to start with, the width and space in the toe-box of your boot, etc.After completing this, a week later I did the Yorkshire 3P challenge of 24 miles and 3 tough peaks with "conventional" socks on a warm/hot day. Again, I had no blistering of the toes and was fairly comfortable. I guess you could say that the most important determinant of whether you are going to suffer the pain and problems of toes blistering is down to many factors, not just the socks. I DO think, however, these help and so perhaps if coming to hiking long distances for the first time, provided you have an understanding of your foot shape and get a good fit to your boots, then using these socks could just help you to have a less painful experience and I would recommend them. Once your feet have hardened and if your boots are right for you, I don't think it matters so much what socks you wear, within reason.I like the high shin length - I have a pair of high ankle support boots and so these socks helped to protect my upper ankles/shins against rubbing. The material and quality is undoubtedly good and after (hand) washing them, they are pretty much as good as new and ready for another challenge.The other bonus is that if you have 2 pairs, in the evening in camp after walking, you can put on your fresh pair and wear flip-flops to keep your feet warm, but get plenty of air to them (the socks also keep midges at bay).I'm not a fan of taping before hiking, although some do. If a blister does form, making a nick through the epidermis to let the fluid out and then taping will still permit these socks to be used over the tape and may even help to support the dermis/epidermis junction from "sliding" and creating further problems.Good socks, but not the magic answer. My advice would still be to gradually condition your feet to longer distances. If you go from zero to 25 miles in one go, you are going to get problems no matter what, unless you tape everything, but I do wonder about what that would do to the integrity of your epidermis after some miles due to inability to sweat-and-wick. Also, some people have problems with the adhesive of the tape.I would recommend these early in your long-distance walking career, or to use again at first after a break. Have one or 2 pairs in your home kit. Otherwise use a good quality Merino-wool blend hiking sock that you know and like.

Fusszehensicken sind gewöhnungsbedürftig aner sehr angenehm nach einiger Zeit. Passen sehr gut, und sind warm.

Ho acquistato un secondo paio di queste calze dopo averle provate per una intera stagione l'anno scorso. L'uso ripetuto sul terreno ha da un lato dissolto i miei dubbi sulla scomodità di avere le dita intrappolate e avvolte (dopo qualche minuto dall'indossarle, la sensazione è tornata del tutto normale e le ho dimenticate), dall'altro lato non si sono più manifestati i problemi che tutti gli anni mi affliggevano nel corso di escursioni impegnative. Niente vesciche, nessuna conseguenza (unghie nere o addirittura distaccate) a seguito dell'attrito e della compressione delle dita nello scarpone in discesa. Ho scelto la versione abbastanza spessa e che incorpora lana merino. Anche in piena estate preferisco una calza spessa che attutisce meglio, e la composizione in lana merino, che ha il pregio di allontanare meglio l'umidità dalla pelle facendola migrare verso l'esterno. Chi ha usato una maglietta in lana merino direttamente sulla pelle sa che anche quando è molto bagnata (ad esempio per sudore) non dà sensazione di freddo, a differenza del cotone, e non genera i forti odori delle fibre sintetiche. La separazione delle dita impedisce lo sfregamento reciproco e le mantiene asciutte negli interspazi. La quota (abbastanza consistente) di fibra sintetica elastica conferisce comunque aderenza anche nella parte che risale verso il polpaccio, dove la calza rimane in posizione e non scende. Indossarle dito per dito è un po' laborioso, ma ne vale la pena. La taglia M è perfetta per la mia misura di scarpe 42, ma la notevole elasticità del tessuto consente una buona adattabilità in più o in meno.
