Socks with toes

[rglongpre]

I am curious as to people's experiences with either Injiji or Smartwool socks with toes in terms of blister control. I have my baby toes fold under causing blisters regardless o other strategies.

I am only at the very beginning of training but I had trouble with my feet on a trike ride and found that the Injiji socks were comfortable and helped. I too have funny toes.

Thanks, Marian. Let me know how they work out for you.

I wore Injinji socks from SJPP to Finesterre. No blisters. Good luck.

I wore, and still wear when hiking, injinji liners and lite hiking sox on vaselined feet. I also stopped regularly and exposed my feet to the air for a few minutes, and changed liners (more Vaseline) about midway thru my days walk. No blisters.

Just completed 1,000km wearing injinji liners. No blisters. Four kids are wearing them too - all of us with another sock on top.
Then today....after 1,053km son has a tiny blister!

I inserted an earplugs between hammer toes, thick end down, after my toenails turned black due to the continual pressure. I was fine again in 2 days.

I always use smartwool toe socks! And a thick pair of smartwool over. It works for me, no blisters!

I walked the first half of the Camino Frances with traditional silk liners last year and suffered from blisters. I wore injinni toe sock liners for the second half (which I just finished-currently in Madrid awaiting my flight home) and didn't get a single blister. I'll definitely wear them when i begin the le Puy route next year!

On camino day23 now and Inkinji toe socks for me everyday on camino with a mid weight smart wool hiker on top

I trained with these too

No blisters and my neuroma doesn't hurt either.

I'm on Camino del Norte and have walked over 500 km so far. I brought SmartWool socks, Ininji toe socks, Darn Tough wool and WrightSocks with built in liners. The sock that I began to wear almost every day - unless it is still drying - is the WrightSocks. My feet stay completely dry. Today I had to wear my SmartWool because the rainy weather didn't allow my sock to dry completely. I use diaper pins and pin them to my pack to dry while walking in the sun. At lunch I noticed a blister was beginning on the back of my heel so I switched to my WrightSocks. By the time I got to my evening shower there was no sign of the blister. The socks are amazing.

I use the Ininji toe socks with my flip flops for chilly evenings and sometimes during shorter days.

BTW I have not had blister with my WrightSocks and no other liners, Vaseline or other things needed.

Liners + Outers works. Over 1,000 miles on various Caminos. Never a blister. Don't know if the individual toe thing is so important, its just that these seem to be the only available as mini-crew. (Why carry extra weight beyond the ankle?) I have used WigWam Ultimax quarter midweights + injinii liners with extreme success. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TFFPGK/?tag=casaivar02-20
