Injinji
Toesocks? Who the hell wears toesocks? After countless trips to the Podiatrist … I do. It finally dawned on me that all the toenail fungus, blisters between my big & hammer toes, callouses, corns ad infinitum … that maybe my socks were causing some of these problems. I was reluctant to believe that anything so simple could resolve so many maladies. I know this -> My feet have never been in such good shape. After years with UPS and on my feet all day in the rain and heat I finally took the plunge. My wife’s badgering helped as well. Born on Okinawa and no stranger to two and five toe socks she finally talked me in to trying them out. But let’s ask the experts.
What does Injinji have to say?
“WHY TOESOCKS?
The Answer Is Surprisingly Simple
We created a sock anatomically designed to your foot, and the five-toe sleeve design allows your toes to splay naturally and align properly, enabling greater stability and more comfort.”
I won’t wear anything else on the trail now. They come in cotton, synthetics & Merino wool. Couple these with the right type of shoe and you’ll be one happy camper.
