I was approached recently to try out some Injinji toesocks. I had read about them on other blogs but had never tried them personally. Considering I began having some issues with blisters a couple of months ago mid-marathon training, I was more than willing to try out some new socks!
They come in several different colors and are available in no-show or mini crew. I've only tried the mini crew so far but plan on ordering some no-show soon. I'm totally in love with these socks, all my blister issues have since ceased.
There's no doubt that I will be wearing these on marathon day and for all my future runs! In honor of finding my new favorite socks I'm hosting a giveaway! The winner will have their choice of one pair of running socks ($12-$14) subject to availability. You can check out the options here: http://www.injinji.com/

-Please note that Injinji only provided me with the socks and is not compensating me for this review, it is solely based on my own experience with the product-
I've been lucky that I don't really get blisters from running, but I do have to watch out for black toenails. I've tried Injinji socks in the past and I like them, but I think I have an extra long big toe because I got holes in the toe after only a few uses.
ReplyDeleteI've definitely had some blisters from running. Weirdly enough, they only ever pop up on my big toes. I have never tried these kinds of socks before, but I think it would be interesting to see if they help my blistery toes during training runs :)
ReplyDeleteI have had only one blister, in this first year of running - and that was from improper lacing, I believe! But I love trying (and winning) new things, so bring on the toe socks!
ReplyDeleteI used to get blisters from running before I knew not to use socks with cotton. I've never tried Injinji toe socks, but want to.
ReplyDeleteI've handled too many blisters! Always from socks I've used before!
ReplyDeleteI love my Injinji socks!!
ReplyDeleteKnock on wood, I've yet to have a blister from running, but I have tried Injinji socks and love them!
ReplyDeleteI have a toe crossing problem, and these socks are the only thing that keep my toes in place while running!
ReplyDeleteA few years back when I was new to distance running I bought a pair of socks on a recommendation from a local shoe store and ended up getting a hellacious blister on my forefoot. It happened a short time before my first marathon. As luck would have it, my son had to see a podiatrist so while we were there I asked the doctor about it. His brother was a marathon runner so he quickly obliged, hooked me up and by the time I hit the start line I was good to go. I haven't worn those socks since. I have worn Injinji and am a big fan, haven't blistered since!
ReplyDeleteI used to get blisters but found the perfect sock and don't anymore. I've never tried Injinji but have read a lot about them and would love to see how I like them!
ReplyDeleteI've been having odd toe issues lately in one of my pairs of shoes. Maybe injinjis would cure those...
ReplyDeleteI had blisters one. not sure why. I have yet to try Injinji but hopefully i can if I win!
ReplyDeleteGot major blisters last Summer between my toes. My running store recommended Swiftwick. I've never tried Injinji, but have been curious.
ReplyDeleteI have blistered soo badly …but I NEVER run a trail run now or even a long run without my injiji sox!! Also great after a run cause you can put on flip flops and calf sleeves and make a hella fashion statement!
ReplyDeleteI've been lucky and never had blisters. I hear great things about these socks though and would love to try them. My toes get minds of their own when I run. Maybe they just need a little freedom!
ReplyDeleteI do get blisters now and again. I have 4 pair of Injinjis and I love them! My 2 girls have a pair each that they like to wear when I have mine on.
ReplyDeleteWhen I ran my last 5k, I developed a blister on my right heel about halfway through. I had to hobble through the rest of the race. I feared I was going to have to dump my favorite running shoes. But then I won some Injinji socks in a giveaway! I was skeptical because I'd never been a fan of toe socks. But lo and behold...not only were they super comfy...they came just high enough up on the back of my heel that I never have to worry about blisters again! I absolutely love these socks and swear by them! Now if I could just win about 12 more pair I'd be set! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm so SO blister prone- Injinji toe socks are the only socks I'll wear when I run. Love them!!
ReplyDeleteI've never gotten blisters but I have worn Injinji and LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteThese look so awesome and comfy, and if they really work for no more blisters woo hoo my daughter who is a cross country runner in high school would be excited! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just want to say I am also excited, sorry my daughter is struggling w/ blister's for the 1st time so this no blister thing caught my eye, and she doesn't like camel skin, or any other usual blister protection! Teenagers!
DeleteI used to have problems with blisters, but after finding the right shoes for me I've been enjoying happy blister free feet :) I use Injinji socks for running, they've even managed to push my ProCompression to the side (still use them for recovery though) :)
ReplyDeleteI so need these. I am training for a marathon and ever since mile 18 training i keep getting these huge blisters. I had no clue what to do anymore. I've tried oil, vaseline, double socks. Would be great to try
ReplyDeleteWould love to try these out. I've tried new shoes and vaseline. Nothing seems to work. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI have only had a blister once; just recently, but I have never tried these socks and would love to!
ReplyDeleteI've gotten a few blisters lately and definitely need to switch up my socks!
ReplyDeleteInjinjis rock!! They help with my toenails rubbing against the next toe which has caused pain and blood. They are a lifesaver!
