Great socks for distance running., October 20, 2008
I bought these socks when I started training for a marathon. I'm about 3/4 way through my training, and I wear these socks every time I have a longer distance (12+ miles) run. They are great. I've had trouble in the past with traditional running socks, getting blisters between my toes, and having bruised toenails. Since wearing these socks, I've had less bruising, and NO blisters at all. I will be buying more if I continue to distance run after I finish this training program and run the marathon.

Meant for Vibram shoes - WITH Modification, May 29, 2010
This review is from: injinji Performance Micro Toesocks (Apparel)
I used these with my Vibram KSO and Bikila running shoes.
Since I'm a long-distance runner, you pretty much have to use socks to wick away any moisture from your feet that comes from sweat, rain, etc. Otherwise, your going to get blisters, etc.
However, as stated above, some of the toes do not fit well in the Vibrams with the sock. There are also pressure points near the transition between your toes that can cause circulation issues.
So, as an ideal compromise, I cut off all of the sock toes, except for the big toe. I also modify the remaining 4 toe holes in the sock, so that there is a single large hole that encompasses the 3 middle toes, and a final hole for the pinky toe - in addition to the remaining big toe insert. This configuration keeps the sock from rolling up whilst you run and also feels comfortable with your toes in the Vibram shoes.

Good so far..., June 2, 2009
Recently purchased these to attempt to ease the burden of running/cycling on my poor toes. I've used them so far on short (<1 hour) training runs and rides. No blisters, no discomfort, and no annoyance. They seem to wick moisture well enough, and other than taking a little bit more time to put them on (making sure each toe fits) they seem to work as well as other tech socks. Will update once I've put them through a few 3-4 hour jaunts.
