REI $5.93 Injinji No-Show Toe Socks

Nice! I just ordered 4 pairs and they will arrive at the store on the 14th. Good find for 25 bucks!

Quote from cervantez015 : Tempted to buy the female socks for 3.93

I bought several pairs of them because 1. They are normal weight (light weight wears out EXTREMELY FAST) and 2. Sizing is universal, size L is both Large for woman and men (refer to sizing chart.) They do not distinctively mean different sizes of sock, the base off of EU measurements. So I bought them even though I am a man, the socks were a killer deal and I do not really care about the color because most people are going to give you funny looks wearing FiveFingers anyways!

Thanks OP!

Quote from litsnsirn : This things usually run $5-6 more a pair and I love them. I can't believe I just spent $120 on socks.

Might need to check SD for a new chest of drawers to house your 20 new pairs of socks....

Injinjis are such ripoffs. I bought 3 pairs oflthem and they wore down after just a couple runs. Now I just buy generic toe socks for about a buck a pair and they worked fine through 50k‘s and triple marathons. They don't last, but not a big deal since I bought 20 pairs for $21.

Just one pair? Am I the only one who sees this as a rip off even at a discounted price?

Good to know. I bought 2 pairs. If they start to fall apart after a couple of runs, I can always return them. REI has a great return policy.

in for 9 pairs just to get the free shipping. Thanks!

Some of you may get socks I handled – sent about 500 pairs back to the distro center last month after we received the Performance 2.0 line. Enjoy 'em!

Quote from saurabh711 : REI noob question...are the Closeout items returnable at store?

Absolutely. Just about the only thing not covered by REI's satisfaction guarantee are items purchased at used gear sales (those purchases are final).

I've used injinji socks for running for a while. It keeps my toes from rubbing against each other and blistering. I am due for new ones (as I've had my same 4 pairs for almost 2 years). I wear them with regular running shoes, and they do a great job. Definitely weird the first time I wore them, but I was over it about 1/2 of a mile into the first run. Looking up the ones I bought on amazon (Linky [amazon.com]) I'm not sure how they compare to these in terms of durability. The ones I have seem like a medium thickness -- not super lightweight. So that makes me wonder about the durability of these.

As a little bit of a forewarning, they always take me a minute or so to put on each foot. Maybe I need to stretch more or something...

GREAT deal for these socks. I'd not buy these socks though.

I've been running in Vibrams for 4 years now and I started off just washing them. Bad idea. The shoe straps and seams came undone fairly fast. The pair that I had only lasted me about a year. The next pair I got, I decided to go with wearing Injinji's. I started off with the normal ankle socks that were thicker. They put a LITTLE bit of squeeze in my shoes but it wasn't anything that caused discomfort.

I saw these at a health expo for $11 / pair and jumped at the opportunity. A year later, a year of not running as often as I had before, these socks are already splitting open. The thin aspect means flimsier. The other Injinji, the thicker ones, are still going strong and I'd say I have about 4x more miles on those thicker socks.

TLR - There's a reason they're $6. They don't last long.

I've got like 6 pairs of these that I got about a year ago for $10 a pair and they've held up well. They're "lightweight," it's in the title, don't wear them for marathons. Wear them for everyday activity in your vibrams or street shoes and you'll be happy with them.

Quote from Hello1877 : There are other ones on sale too. http://www.rei.com/outlet/search?query=Injinji+ The Outdoor ones are made with wool if anyone prefers those.

Ahh nice! $3.83 a pair for the large stripey ones too. I like getting them a size larger normally anyway, in for 12

Interesting. Never seen generic cheap toe socks on sale before but maybe I'll look harder and pick some up.

Quote from SillyIggy : who needs 6 dollar socks when you can wash the shoes? i have never worn socks in my veebrams yet. am i missing something? yes, i have ran in every temperature from 5 - 85. and ice, snow, water, mud, rocks blah blah. It helps wick away moisture for people who may blister easily.

THUMBS UP! I bought 10 pair since the seams on Vibrams rip my feet up. Great deal.

I have super flat feet from running without shoes for years. I started using Vibrams and the seams in them tear my feet in funny spots. The socks will put a layer between my skin and shoe. There's only so much medical tape a foot can take. LOL
