Another Injinji wearer.
Tip: get a size larger than their chart says you need and let them shrink to fit. Less or no pressure on the tips of your toes.

Are the compression injinjis any good?
I see mixed reviews online. I wear (and like) the MudGear compression socks.
Black balega hidden comfort It's practically the only sock I own besides some compression and hiking socks. I never search for missing socks because they all match. Wear them to work, running whatever.

I may have a problem because when we were on vacation, my wife accidentally grabbed a pair of my Feetures and put them on, and said "ooh, these are nice!". So they may start to go missing.

Injinji for long runs. Recently received some Balega that I like. Lidl sold some Crivet running socks I like.
I don’t like the double layer socks like Wrightsocks.

Merino...I look for anything that's at least 1/3 wool. Sierra Trading Post has some good deals, right now.

This is where I buy my socks, too.

The injinji looks like a solid option, especially for blister prevention. What’s the deal with the wool? Is that for cold weather running or year round?
It’s super dangerous that there’s a mall <1 hour from me with TJX, STP, and Home Goods.
I haven't tried their wool blend yet, but wool is a great fabric for all weather conditions. Like polar fleece, it stays warm when wet, but it also dries quickly because it does not retain moisture very well. Wool is durable, too. The Smartwool PhD socks are great, even if they don't have toes.
Cool, thanks!

Darn tough, only socks I wear. Both daily and running
Only Injinji socks for me! And BTW: their compression socks are great too!
Balega Hidden Comforts. They are crazy comfortable.
