I remember thinking these Injinji socks with the toe-gloves would be really popular right after they came out. I’d met a girl wearing them and she was freaking out about how awesome the socks were. But then I saw her a couple months later and she was freaking out about how awesome a new Harry Potter movie was so I figured she’s just one of those people that freaks out about everything. Too bad for Injinji socks. Well, now Injinji is back for another try with their knee-high compression socks. They’re supposed to improve circulation in your calves to facilitate recovery and prevent fatigue. It’s part of a whole trend of compression gear that’s going to make all of us look like The Tron Guy when we go out hiking. Unfortunately for Injinji no one wants to wear knee-high socks anymore unless they’re wearing short shorts and playing kickball or at a roller skating birthday party.

Actually these should work perfectly for motorcycle riders who wear boots. I haven’t tried the Travel series yet but the other socks in their line are not very comfortable when wearing my Sidi motorcycle boots due to the velcro at the top of the boot. I’ll probably pick up a pair of the Travel Performance in the near future and cannot wait for the compression socks to be released.
Now they just need some waterproof SealSkinz type toe socks.

I got some Injinji socks free from a friend who had received them as free in a marketing promo. She laughed them off but I gave them a shot. I now swear by them and wear them pretty much every day. Then again I also tried out Vibram Five Fingers (they were total crap).
I got a pair of the travel socks which are very hard to find because none of the dealers listed on their website near my area carry them but I was able to find them at their store (www.injinjistore.com, not http://www.injinji.com) and I’m very happy with them except that they are a little thicker than i would prefer. Never tried the five fingers however I think I will be doing that soon. They look awesome.
