On a recent trip to Quebec, Canada to participate in that area’s winter sports I realized that I would have to collect a few warm and comfortable clothes since my natural habitat is Florida and my wardrobe was woefully lacking in winter gear.

A little research on the internet led me to the Injinji Store(Injinji.com) which specializes in travel accessories. It was here that I discovered the Injinji Performance Toesocks. These unique patented toesocks were designed to help prevent the swelling and muscle fatigue that many times occurs with long distance travel….especially plane travel where movement is often restricted for several hours.

This over-the-calf length toesock is a unique blend of Coolmax Silver and Nylon Lycra that utilizes the individual 5-toe sleeve design to provide better posture, gripping and balance. They provide overall compression, moisture wicking, anti-microbial and anti-odor. I found them to be the perfect answer to both the problem of long distance travel and comfortable winter warmth.

The Injinji’s Performance series toesocks have received the American Podiatric Medical Association’s Seal of Acceptance which recognizes products that are found to be beneficial to foot health. They reduce the friction and stress on the foot and toes while wicking moisture away from the skin. This feature was important to me in keeping my feet warm and dry while skiing and snowmobiling.

In this day and age when we are all trying to travel light and minimize the amount of luggage we have to drag around with us, I found that by having two pair of Injinji Toesocks, I could use one pair on the plane to minimize the problems caused by long distance travel and another pair that were ready to go when I reached my snowy destination. By rotating them and rinsing them out at night I had solved the two problems of warmth and comfort.

Now that I am home and back to my regular routine, I still use my Injinji Toesocks when working out and doing my daily walk. They are light enough to be comfortable even in warmer weather and I can definitely tell the difference in how my feet feel after walking several miles.

Injinji Toesocks come in a variety of colors to match any outfit or activity.
