Injinjis are really great for preventing those little in between the toe blisters that are so hard to tape and deal with once you have. I do not double sock with these(this style would probably be too thick) and instead tape my heels and sides of my big toes prior to hiking and, knock on wood, I can get through a backpacking trip without a blister. If you have the popular trail runners that tend to rub on your achilles, the tops of the Injinis are perfect for preventing that, they come up high enough and are nice and thick.My feet do not get overly hot in the Injinjis. My one complaint is they do take a while to dry if you was them "trail laundry" style. However, I think all padded socks would have that issue. They do take a bit of getting used to at first when you put them on.

I bought these socks as after trialing injinji socks for the first time. My feet slowly but surely refused to be comfortable in regular socks.I went from the original low cut running socks to these mini crew as I mainly do trail and found the low cut running sock let small granules and stones into my sock which not only becomes uncomfortable but destroys your socks as well. Not great when they cost $35 a pair!These socks are slightly longer and are a firm enough fit to not allow small stones to enter the sock. They are also considerably more padded which I didn’t like at first due to not feeling familiar. After the second and third wear they became more comfortable.No idea if they will last any longer but I can definitely say I prefer and love them!

Road Runner finally carries Injinji running socks! I've been running in this midweight variation in cooler weather for at least five years. They solved my blistering and callous issues. (I did still have one pair of shoes that overcame the Injinji resistance on long runs.) I wear the lighter-weight version in the warm seasons. I can now buy my Injinjis from Road Runner.
