Injinji:the socks that adds dexterity to your feet; "foot mitten or glove"?

When I was first asked to try Injinji socks I did a simple experiment I simply wore one on my right foot and a regular sock on my left. The difference was remarkably instantaneous. The Injinji sock foot felt supported and much more comfortable with an added sense of energy and a broader range of motion.

Recommended by podiatrists and yoga and Pilates instructors alike each sock comes in 4 sizes, S, M, L, XL and has: 

• Seamless five-toe construction to provide barefoot experience without blisters and irritation.
• Toesock provides the freedom of movement and flexibility promoting optimal alignment and improving your posture and stance in every pose and exercise.
• Slip resistant sole has raised treads for superior grip, maximum control and increased balance during exercise on the floor or on the machine.
• Made with N´Bamboo which is naturally anti-bacterial and Coolmax for wicking away moisture.
• Provides added protection for gym floors and mats to keep them clean.
• The contoured heel pocket and arch support stretch to fit the shape of your foot better, adding support and reducing slipping and bunching.

I love that the Injinji sock surrounds each toe individually allowing your foot the freedom of no sock with the protection from blisters and the warmth of a covering that still breathes and flexes.

           

Injinji socks were developed in 2004, and have been tested by athletes, marathon and other long-distance runners in many different environments. Over and over they are reported to strengthen the muscles in the wearer's feet and legs while still allowing the foot to perform completely naturally. Runners report less blisters and a more energized run and despite the additional time it takes to put them on they are converted for life.

The technology is brilliant. Each individual toe sleeve is a thin anti friction membrane that is seamless to eliminate friction between the toes and to prevent the build-up of moisture around the feet. The flat-knit weave is light weight and breathable and is used to eliminate bunching and sagging and every sock is designed to align the toes properly for freer movement from heel to toe, better circulation, better posture, grip and balance.
