Thank you for sharing! Hopefully I’ll be doing my first camino (Porto) in Sept. I bought the toe liners & socks per someone else’s recommendation; it’s good to hear of yours!Today is my 29th day on the Camino Frances, loving it all the way. A few years ago on the Appalachian Trail in eastern U.S. I discovered the wondrous world of toe socks. The brand I use is Ingingi. I'm not a gear tester and have no interest in the company. But as a 65 year-old chubby guy, I do believe they have made my Camino much more enjoyable by eliminating problems with my feet. They have a liner style with which you use another cover sock, and a heavier style. Hopefully this is helpful!
My friend gave me a pair as we were walking. I tried them on a short walkabout on one of our days off. They were okay, but I never wore them after that. Now my buddy did have a blister issue start up cuz of a sole insert and he wore his one toe sock with the toe wrapped for several days and he seemed to like it.Thank you for sharing!

I got a big (but not painful) blister between my toes at the base from the seam rubbing there.I purchased a pair of Injinji toe socks as a back up "just in case" item, in addition to my tried and true socks, since so many people love them, but I have never needed to use them. I have read a few people dislike them as they supposedly have seams on each toe that can rub.
I use mine without any other socks. I find them to be quite fine. I do get blisters on my little toes but I think it is because of the way my feet are shaped with the toes turning outward. I am just going to put moleskin on them under the toe socks and continue using them. I am trying all sorts of things before I leave. I have bunions too and use bunion protectors under the socks. That seems to work just fine. My boots are a size bigger and if I went any bigger they would fall off my feet. I have a wide foot.I loved my injinji toe socks as well, for blister prevention. I used the thin cotton liners. However, my feet got too hot by the afternoon, with two pairs of socks. Anyone use them alone? Are the wool ones designed to be worn by themselves?
I wonder if Engo patches in your shoes would solve the problem for you? I have a friend that used them, and they really helped her..

I also used Injinji and they are life savers, or at least foot savers.Today is my 29th day on the Camino Frances, loving it all the way.

I wear the trail running mid-weight ones. They're synthetic and lighter/less sweaty than the wool ones. I'm quite-blister prone and they work really well for me.I loved my injinji toe socks as well, for blister prevention. I used the thin cotton liners.

Thanks for that, I will check them out. I am looking for the "perfect" setup before I go.I wonder if Engo patches in your shoes would solve the problem for you? I have a friend that used them, and they really helped her.

Like you, I learned about, and started using, the toe socks on the AT. I used them on my three previous Camino, and if conditions allow, will use them again in October when I start out on my 4th CF.Today is my 29th day on the Camino Frances, loving it all the way.

Yes it is an issue. Some people love them, others like me hate them.I’ve always assumed that the inevitable ‘bulk’ of fabric between the toes would be an issue. Is that not an issue?
I use Ingingi toesock liners with a good quality ankle sock over the top. Works like a charm. No blisters in 7 caminos.Today is my 29th day on the Camino Frances, loving it all the way.
