socks

x2 on the Injinji's. I wear them exclusively. 

I did a 50m in the snow, changed them 5 times, and only got 1 blister. My first ever. I still call it a success.

REI carries them and several store have the new 2.0 in stock as well. Try to find the new 2.0 

I did have to completely get out of mine during the last lap at Umstead as my feet were soooo swollen it felt like my toes were gonna bust thru the socks......was a relief to get them off but then where my toes were swollen it was now skin on skin and kinda burned that last loop...but I am a big believer in them!!! Even through some of my 50 milers and 50K have had lots of creek crossing and even wet they didnt cause any issues at all

How bout a x3 or x4? Those socks are awesome.

Last weekend was nice, cool, overcast, some chop in the swim.  The HIM there last month had 54 deg F big chop water, turn buoy floated away....

I'm heading to REI tomorrow for some socks.  Thanks all.

I cant handle the in between the toes feeling... so I go with Drymax.

I use these:

Very happy with both versions but the max get a bit warm on me in the Summer.

Injinji are very personal....a love em or hate em kind of thing.

Personally, I hate em.

For long runs & races, I've switched to Wrightsock. They're double layer and I've never had a blister issue in them.

I won't even consider the Hokas. I know lots of people like them, but I do much better with a more minimal shoe.

Another 50k, in the humid, hot, texas heat and no blisters with my Ininiji's. I started out in my Brooks trail shoe, but my legs felt terrible the first couple miles in. Changed to my backup Minimus and wore those for the last 20. No issues.

Anyway...I still heart the Ininiji's.

Ininij's are on Groupon! A great deal!
