Injinji Performance Toesocks™ Review

posted by gumptiongear June 25, 2012 0 comments

“The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.” – Leonardo da Vinci

The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and tendons. The 52 bones in your feet make up about 25 percent of all the bones in your body. Despite this intricate design, we’ve treated our feet and toes like clowns in a circus car. Yet, for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts alike, there’s nothing funny about the fact that the very nature of the traditional tube sock may work against your feet’s natural form and function.

Injinji Footwear offers patented Performance Toesocks™ that are designed to enable the human foot – from the heel to the five toes – to function naturally and efficiently inside a shoe. The key design principle in the development of the Injinji toesock was to create the best possible interface allowing the entire foot to perform naturally and freely inside our shoes, just like being barefoot.
