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.

Do you know anyone that just does their walking in these? I like to know how they work for them. Thanks.

If you mean the injinji socks, no I don't. If you mean the Vibram Five Fingers, yes it do. I walk around in them all of the time. Some of my friend walk in them and love them.

I think I may have to break down and get some then.
