Injinji is best known for running specific performance “toesocks.” In addition to running, they have expanded to include a wide variety of styles for other types of sports and activities. They now also have socks for biking, yoga, soccer, golf, hiking and more. I was recently offered the opportunity to try their Women’s Specific Run 2.0 Lightweight Ultra-Thin Cushioning Socks and Trail 2.0 Socks.
After ten years, Injinji has “evolved from a startup sock company to a community of athletes from all sports and skill levels.” They run, train, compete, and live in a variety of footwear. They are a great company who involve their customers as they strive to be better as a company, improving how we conduct business, treat others, and give back to our communities. Their “Manifestoe” is “Forever committed to innovation that allows your feet to live and perform at their peak. We are a better way.”
I’ve tried Injinji socks in the past and I find them to be comfortable and easy to wear – no blisters or any issues. The one problem that I had was that my toes did not quite fill them out and that led to some extra material or bunching with a few pairs of my shoes. When I heard that there were women’s specific ones, I was really excited.
Here’s the deal (from Injinji):
- Women’s Specific Run 2.0– “Recognizing that all feet are not the same, the Women’s toesock is designed to better accommodate a female foot, which is typically narrower than a male’s foot, with an increased heel to toe stretch. The increased two-way stretch will enable the material to better stretch across a female’s foot arch providing compression throughout the foot. The fit of the individual toe-sleeves were redesigned for a better, snugger fit throughout the toes for female wearers without any excess material.”
- Trail 2.0– “Blaze trails and get a toe hold on the great outdoors in Injinji’s Trail 2.0 Series– toe socks for hiking and trail running. Featuring superior moisture management and comfort, our hiking toe socks are designed to enable maximum performance to tackle all forms of terrain. These cushioned toe socks are built to handle the impact of dirt paths and rocky trails, while the double elastic cuffs keep dirt and debris out. Extra cushion doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice breathability with the help of Injinji’s mesh top. Whether you dream of completing the Pacific Crest Trail or trying out some local day hikes, your feet will thank you for bringing along your Injinji Trail 2.0 performance toe socks.”
The Women’s Specific Performance 2.0 socks are perfect for me! They are nice and tight with increased compression on the foot band and a mesh top for ventilation. I love the awesome fit in the toes and the fun color. I like them for running (with several different shoes) and had no blisters or bunching. They are also great for Pilates. They come in several colors and are $12.oo/pair. The Trail socks are a still bit large in the toes for me. I love the tighter band at the top to keep out dirt on the trails (which I usually eat!) I like the fit and cushioning and I will definitely wear these around the house and try them on the trails. However, I hope that Injinji makes women’s specific socks in all of the styles. I love the snug fit and perfect sized toes.
