Sock uplift?

[Granspeed]

First run with the new toe socks. Something pushed my pace up a bit over the 30 minute run, so .... ? Magic 10 and new socks as well = a winning combo! 👏🏼🎉 For those who were wondering, the toe socks are soooo comfy - no slippage or rubbing and very soft. The toes seem to adjust to foot shape. Big success so far, so I recommend them. 😊

They look like they should not be a good idea but your post suggests they are.

Seen people mention double layer socks too.

What is the thinking behind toes socks? What made you try them?

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to SpanishShuffle]

Running Daughter loves them, and I got Sock Envy. 😂 I think they are really intended for distance running - the theory is they prevent skin to skin contact on the toes so no rubbing. They are very slightly fuzzy and quite thin and with a stretchy knit, so the bulkiness I wondered about is not an issue. Maybe I’m destined for distance running in 2025? 🏃🏼‍♀️😄

Thank you. 👣 I will look out for some. They sound to be just what my poor old toes need 😊

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to SpanishShuffle]

Hope they work. Mine are made by Injinji; don’t know if there are other brands.

[SpanishShuffle Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you ☺

Oh I’ll try them too maybe. For some reason I thought they would rub more but thinking about it, seems like a good idea.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

They are very soft & light (I was worried too light, but no...) and they sort of cling to my toes so don’t seem to shift at all.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Granspeed]

That’s really good to know, when I am feeling brave, I’ll invest in a pair!

Today I was on a walk and I saw a girl with multi coloured wellies, I thought oh those are nice! What is it with running that makes one go for the most gaudy clothing 😂

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

Something, for sure. It’s the only context in which I do it! 😄

Sweet! Thanks for the sock review. I'm thinking when I go to the city for new trail shoes, I'll have to see if they have the toe socks there (I'm sure they will!). If not, there is always Amazon.

I much prefer those socks 😊😊😊

[molly1973]

They are so cute!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to molly1973]

There are other colours too. Not everybody is up for orange! 😂

[Jogunlikely in reply to Granspeed]

Nah. the crazier the colour the faster they make you run 👍

They look so cute too

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Jogunlikely]

I noticed some in crandberry, the colours are even crazier (=better)

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

Aiming for those next. Birthday on the horizon.....

[Jogunlikely in reply to Granspeed]

Need some new socks (I'm sure if I looked I would defo need new ones 🤣) so have ordered a pair of these. I got ridiculously excited just now on receiving "your order has been dispatched" email - do I need to seek professional help 🤔

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

No, I think if there’s two of us, it counts as “normal”! 😊

[Jogunlikely in reply to Granspeed]

Phew!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

The socks have done it again! 😀

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

[Deals1 Graduate10]

OOhhhhhh

I have wondered about them

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Good so far. And seem to have washed well.

[Katnap Graduate10]

Oh yes! Shoes and socks very important!
