These are NOT your novelty socks from the 70’s. Toe socks have many benefits! They’re anatomically designed for your foot, allow maximum toe splay, help the toes to align properly because of that increased toe splay, and help reduce friction/rubbing between the toes. These socks are perfect  for every day use, or that marathon distance where bad things can happen to your toes. The Injiniji’s Run Lightweight No Show Sock’s length features a heel tab which keeps them from sliding into your shoes and protect against chafing. In addition, Injinji socks hug each toe in moisture wicking CoolMax material which helps prevents blisters, callousing, and rubbing.
