I have injinji socks in the original weight and they prevent toe blisters, but then I get ball of foot blisters. Does this weight work for that?

I don't have ball of foot blisters and I wear these all the time except when in the shower. I didn't have them prior to the injinji's either. I used to get blisters on the outside of my big toe and on that large knuckle - I solved that by changing to a different brand of shoe - my foot doctor said they were caused by pressure, not rubbing. I think that's probably totally unrelated to your problem, however.

I don't get ball of foot blisters so I can't say for certain but the midweight does provide more cushioning overall and my callouses don't grow as quickly when I use them.

Problem is it would require a larger shoe than the one you are probably wearing. If you are not walking on it you may be able to get by with your existing shoe but it would have to be loose. I think because there is no way to keep it from sliding you may end up with a blister. I believe they have another product that has a strap that goes around the ankle that would keep it in place and keep it from sliding but you would still run into the same problem of it being larger than a sock.

Have real good luck with these. I place mine under my insoles with no problems. Keep 3-4 sets on hand

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I tried to wear it without a sock in tennis shoes to keep from having blisters. It didn't work.

I can't really say. The sock has to stretch enough to put over the inner frame of the stocking donner. I can't imagine any benefit to putting on regular socks this way unless they are really tight. The sock would definitely have to stretch some -- a good bit -- to even try it. Hope that helps. See, you still have to reach almost down to the ankle when you begin putting it on... so if someone has difficulty with that (even while seated) it may not help much. I do think it has a purpose... but I'm not sure that would be it. I found out after ordering that the local medi-supply place here carries them... maybe you can view one in person first. Good luck.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

My son(size 10) wore them. No problems with toes. He definitely recommends the sock to protect the back of your heels if you plan to purchase and use alot. He's PADI certified and passed up two more levels with this gear.

No you don't. I wore socks and it's pretty accurate! Hope this helpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JimJhsnPFEU&feature;=youtu.be

Yes, these toe socks are awesome. I have never had any foot or blister problems since I have started wearing them, even with wearing new shoes all day. They are very comfortable.

I prefer a tighter fit so I don't get blisters. The sizes are pretty true, I think, but since I am a 1/2 size, I went up in size rather than down and got the neoprene dive socks to wear with them ....super comfortable and no blisters. If not wearing the neoprene, then go down if you are a 1/2 size.... backs are adjustable.

I am not sure...but the socks are "fuzzy" inside and i would think they'd absorb sweat. I LOVE mine and have ordered many pairs for my loved ones....good luck!

Nothing really, except alignment socks will "crush" after a while and loose their effectiveness. But they may be a little more comfortable due to the coziness factor if you like socks on your feet. Separaters will retain their form.

I own three pairs of Injinji socks and although I use them mostly while running, they are great with flop flops, Five Finger shoes (though not if your toes are already a snug fit without socks) and any other athletic shoes. When wearing these socks in regular shoes it feels like your toes have more room to move, giving you better control and balance. They are also really nice in hot weather because your toes will stay drier and you'll be less likely to get blisters in between your toes.

Hi Jennifer, I always start new workouts with a lighter weight. I think I went lighter than normal for these. I think I used a 12. Hope this helps!!

Better. I ran a 50k in the socks and my VFFs. I also wear both on runs over half-marathon distances. I found my legs feel much better over the course of a run, and I have no issues when wearing them with VFFs. In fact, I'd say I prefer their texture over regular Injinjis while wearing my VFFs.

Beverly, a medium Injini sock covers sizes 8-10.5. Go with a large so the sock is not stretched thin. Save stress on the threads. I promise comfort either way.
