2.0 oz | $16 Within the Injinji family, the Injinji Run Lightweight Socks are our favorite model. Not only do they prevent toe blisters by ensuring zero skin-on-skin contact between toes, but they also use the thinnest and lightest weight fabric. This minimizes sweat, reduces absorption, increases quick-dry performance, and is all-around more pleasant to wear during the heat of summer months. The sock fabric is a blend of nylon, polyester, and Lycra, and features a reinforced toe box and heel with zonal mesh on the upper to further enhance breathability. Injinji socks have the added benefit of splaying your toes, which subtly improves balance and lends a more natural stride. The downside to toe socks is that all of the extra fabric adds forefoot width, which can create blister issues at the same time you fix others. Furthermore, the on/off process with toes is much more finnicky than with traditional socks, which is a major downside for multi-day backpackers who frequently rotate socks.
