injinji Split Toe Series Mini-Crew Sock

Perfect for those super cute Nike "doe" shoes! Details are what make the difference here - from the logo placement that guide left/right sock to the extra cushion on the sole. They wash well, too.

I tend to go barefoot most of the time. We don't wear shoes in the house but in the winter time I wear socks because the tile floors can get a little cold ( need in-floor heat, next project ) it is nice to be able to slip on sandals in these socks when I have to go outside to take out the garbage, go to the store, etc. And when I do wear shoes ( running, playing basketball, I hike in sandals ) these socks feel better on the feet, plus walking up and down wooden stairs you can feel the treads a lot better. I would like a thinner sock with this quality for the summertime though.

Regular socks are fine, the Injini Performance sock is high tech. I like this split toe as it gives me the feature of being able to wear socks with flip flops, not have my big toe rub against my other toes, and have a great wicking sock. I also heart the purple color. They seemed a little thick when I first tried them on but it didn't change the fit of my shoes at all.

Top reasons I like these socks: 1. They are purple. 2. They are socks with a separate toe section. 3. Yeah, a toe section--thats what I wrote. I got myself a pair of these because I couldn't believe that they would be comfortable, but I then wore them four days in a row (with flipflops) after the sun went down at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. I couldn't believe how much I liked them. They are warm, they fit, they don't bug my toes, and they are purple! Also, they didn't smell as bad as I thought they would after 4 days of festival-ing.
