I bought my 2nd pair of Vibram 5-fingers expecting to be able to wear them barefoot like my others. Well they gave me blisters on my heel. On the rare occasion that I do wear socks, I wear Icebreaker merino wool so I was a bit skeptical about these (my 1st pair). (As a barefoot person they feel like a personal form of torture on their own but once I had the shoes on I was over it.) Well we did an 11km roundtrip grind (steep climb followed by steep descent) & NO blisters! If I WAS to break out with any blisters it would be on this trek. I'm stoked with these socks & ordering another pair. (And for reference I have the awesome 2nd toe that's longer than the rest & these worked fine, I never thought anything of it.)

I have worn Injinji toe socks for years and love them. These are warm and comfortable under my athletic shoes without getting too hot. I have super sensitive skin and can’t wear synthetic fabrics, so I worried about the nylon content, but it’s been ok. If you’ve never worn toe socks I recommend them highly they keep your toes from rubbing each other as you walk.

I do love these socks but after only a couple of months I started to wear holes in the bottom. I only walk in these so no major abuse going on. Maybe that is the nature of the material? Seems like a running sock would be a little more durable. They do fit great and are sized perfectly.
