Injinji!


As much as I like running with my Vibram Five Fingers, I have had intermittent problems with blistering on the top of my feet. A small imperfection in the inside seems will rub on my skin and after three or more miles, it starts to be a problem. For some reason, I was reluctant to get toe socks to wear with my shoes, but after applying bandages to my feet after most runs, I decided it was time.

While visiting my parents in La Jolla over Christmas I went to Movin’ Shoes in Pacific Beach and bought a pair of the thinnest Injinji to socks I could find. After running with them only one time, I wondered what took me so long. This is the final piece to the minimalist running/five fingers experience. It will also allow me to run in colder temperature as they do insulate my feet a bit.

Tri-Ku XXVII


It is not barefoot
It’s minimalist running
My knees are happy
