Blister Prevention and Socks

I really wanted the socks to be even better than my favorite combination, and while they were better than most other socks I've tried, they were not as good. The Drymax socks did not keep my feet any drier than the Injinji/Wrightsock combo, and the friction from all of the Drymax socks I tried was higher. The Injinji/Wrightsock combo also gave me the toe protection of the Injinji socks which is a distinct advantage over the Drymax socks. I did try a Injinji/Drymax combo, but this was less effective than the Injinji/Wrightsock combo.

== Injinji Original Weight(3/5)==
If you ever have a problem with blisters on your toes, try [[Injini ]] socks. They have individual sections for each toe, rather like a glove for your feet instead of a mitten. They take a little getting used to as your toes are not used to being separated. Having adapted to Injinji, I really like them. They make both a normal thickness sock and a much thinner [[Injinji Liner Socks|liner]]. As noted above, the liner sock is thin enough to allow them to be worn with other socks as well. The Injini socks are well-made using a seamless construction and technical material. The added toe protection gives them an advantage over the standard 'vanilla' technical Socks.

== Double layer socks (3/5)==
The idea of double layer socks is that the extra layer of material reduces friction. The inner layer rubs on the outer layer, rather than rub on the skin of the foot. I like the Wrightsock dual layer socks and I generally wear their thinnest Cool Max sock, though I also have some of their thicker Silver based socks. Overall, these double layer socks have a distinct advantage over the standard 'vanilla' technical Socks.
