Injini Socks
I ran wearing the Injini socks yesterday. I put them on with no Bodyglide or any lubriant. They seemed to work realy well. My right big toe hurt a bit, and I think there might have been some fabric bunched around it. I am washing them and will wear them on my trail run December 23. I have read on the internet that some people will wear these, with another pair of socks over them-what is the purpose of the second pair of socks? To help preserve the life span of the Injini?

I love wearing my injini socks while hiking/running. I bought them with the intention of rubberizing the bottoms so that I can run with only the socks on. Oh, shirt and pants too.
The second pair is for fricktion motion (sp?). When the two socks move against each other, it prevents a foot to move against the sock layer, thus protects from blisters.
Personally, I wear a double-sock that's made up as a double layer already.
Hope you like I-sock!
Let me know how the socks work out.
Just searching for the spelling of Injinji when I came across your site. (I'm too lazy to get up and go to my sock drawer! Funny, since I run halfs at the moment, with ultras on the horizon for me.) I've been running barefoot on and off for the past 6 months, still transitioning. Are you running with the Injinji socks only, no shoes? I use them under my Vibram FiveFingers, but when I want to run with only socks, I use a cheap pair I can throw out later. Maybe others are wearing a pair of regular socks over the Injinji socks to protect them from getting worn through. I know at $12 a pair, they're not cheap.
