Features
This women's specific design of these popular toe socks has been developed so that they are narrower than the unisex ones, making them a better fit for ladies' toes. They also have a softer feel and are the thinnest of the Injinji toe socks, making them perfect for summer and Vibram users.
The five-toe design helps to align toes and can improve posture. It is also useful for preventing blisters between the toes. It includes a Lycra fibre dual-welt band with increased compression that holds the sock in place, reducing slippage. Also, the heel and toes have been reinforced with Coolmax Xtra Life fibre for increased durability.
Verdict
I normally find that with the unisex version there is a bit more fabric above my small toe (I am told I'm not the only one!) and so this new design of a narrower fit has been very useful for my foot shape. I like the lycra compression band around the midfoot as it hugs the foot quite nicely, and the durability is great.
The fact that they have ultra-thin cushioning and the mesh top provides maximum ventilation makes them a perfect summer sock choice, whether you use Vibrams or not.
