Review - Injinji Performance 2.0 Run Toe Socks

I have been hearing some good things about Injinji toe socks. The reviews I heard were for the socks used as a liner beneath thick expedition weight mountaineering socks. So I headed out and got me a pair of toe socks to use a liners for my upcoming expedition in the Himalayas. I also got attracted to trying a pair as my regular running and training socks.

So here is a quick review of the socks

I got the Performance 2.0 RUN socks, which is the newer line in their product range. I got the socks in mini crew length. The material was 55% COOLMAX polyester, 40% nylon and 5% LYCRA fibre.

I got these in original weight rather than the lightweight ultra-thin ones. I really didn't need to squeeze the socks into fitting shoes like the Vibram five fingers and I thought the ultra-thin ones were more prone to wear and tear.

These were selling online for USD 12 and I got these after a 15% discount at SGD 16, so I didn't pay that much more for the socks.

It takes just a fraction more time to align your toes properly with the toe pockets before pulling the socks up. However, once properly fitted, it was a new sensation feeling material between my toes. However, this was the mechanism by with material will be wicking away moisture and preventing friction between the toes which might cause blisters.

I got mine is size S which was US range 5-7.5. The socks wore true to size so if you are getting a pair, just follow the size recommendations on the label.

Watch out for my upcoming review of the Injinji Performance liner
