injinji Performance Mini-Crew Sock
The injinji Performance Mini-Crew Sock uses a combination of quick-wicking Coolmax and stretchy Lycra to out-perform any cotton sock out there, and they have separate toes to reduce friction. This unique design drastically decreases the chances of blisters forming on your toes. An ankle-height cut makes these injinji socks a great pick for anything from summer trail running to backpacking to hanging in town.
Bottom Line: Leave the cotton in the sock drawer, and hit the trails with the injinji Performance Mini-Crew Sock.

Have seen the adds for years, but finally indulged after a brutal hot-weather marathon in May with resulting sausage toes. A little tough to get on, but once in place these babies cradle your toes, wick moisture, and keep the dogs cool in the heat. Injinji toe socks are not just a novelty item -- these hi-tech socks rock!

Love these socks. Really help if you have problems with blisters on your toes when they rub together. I prefer the this height of socks versus the micro cut. The higher cut, mini-crew, sits above the back of ankle and doesn't rub on my that back of my ankle. I have worn these socks on a number of 7-10 miles trail runs and they have felt great. Highly recommend.

I bought these to use with my new Vibram Five Fingers shoes and they are ideal, but I have started wearing them with normal shoes too and they are excellent. It takes a while to get used to putting them on and having material between your toes but it isn't too strange. For me the biggest benefit is my feet feel much cooler and more comfortable.
My only complaint is at $36 a pair (after shipping and import duty to the UK) they are a little on the expensive side.

I love these socks. They are just the right height in the back so they don't rub that back of my foot. They feel a bit weird when you first put them on but you quickly forget about that. I have had issues with blisters on my toes before but not with these socks. I do mainly trail running and they are great.

If you get blisters between your toes when you run then you need these. I used to have to wrap my toes in band-aids before going out on the trail, but not since I got these injinji socks.

I love these socks and will definitely be hooked on them for life. I have run probably 20+ marathons in them and do not get blisters anymore! However, they do wear out relatively quick. They are an expensive sock (especially for wearing out relatively quickly), but wouldn't run another ultra without them!

I absolutely LOVE these socks!! I hiked the grand canyon in them, as well as Nevada Falls, and I have also run in them. They completely prevent blisters, and they are sooo comfortable. I would (and do) recommend them to everyone!!

I bought two pair of these for my sister-in-law to wear while running. She has some foot ailments, and she has found that the individual toe movement and reduced friction between her toes alleviates much of the discomfort that she has had with her feet. She raves of them, but she did mention that it took some getting used to to have the material between her toes. I'll give it a 5 based on her feedback to me.

I recently picked up a pair of Vibram's FiveFingers, and unless you're fine with throwing them in the wash every singe day, you really need some of these socks. I also plan to wear them as liner socks under my Smartwools during the winter. Like the fivefingers, Great idea, great product!

These socks are great for long runs. I wear them for all my runs over 10 miles. They spread my toes a little giving the nerves more space so they don't get irritated. They are also great for blister prevention. They do run a little large however so if you are on the fence about size, get the smaller ones.

I really like the concept of these socks. They are very comfortable and do prevent the in-between toe blisters that happen with long distance running. That said, mine developed a hole in the toe in less then a month of use, and some of the areas and seams are showing wear. I'd have a hard time paying this much for socks that don't last a month.

The socks are comfortable, you just need more space in the front of your shoe. The socks tend to spread your toes apart in the front of you shoe.

I bought these socks from an ad I saw in Ultra-Running Magazine, hoping that they would be good a keeping away blister. I ran with them on and they worked well, a little bit to get used to.
Although I was disappointed to see that they wore out very fast, maybe just too many seems.

i first discovered the injinji sock during the long beach marathon about 6 months ago....i would never use another sock again. often running 60-70 miles a week, i have yet to have any blisters. this is a great product and from one runner to another, i would have nothing else protecting my feet during a race.

I picked up these socks nearly 2 years ago when they first came out. They do take some getting used to and are slow to put on and take off (not ideal for quick transitions like a triathlon) but the performance of these socks are tops! Because each toe is flying solo I found that in the heat my feet were cooler as air flowed between the toes. The other bonus is that when I felt like a blister could come on wearing other socks I'd put these on and run/hike without worry. I'm definitely buying another pair and can't wait until they make this sock from merino or a more technical weave.
