OrrinSportsToe Socks Cool-max Running Socks for Men Women 3 Pairs Athletic Breathable Five Finger Socks

After a lot of comparing different brands and reading more reviews ( both good and bad) I bought both the black/gray and the multi color packs of ankle socks. My feet are a half size different. My great toe and big toe on my right foot overlap rub together and are problematic without using wraps or soft toe spacers that are uncomfortable and constantly requiring replacement. These were well packaged and properly paired. They fit true to size and have nice arch support without cutting off the circulation that I find in some others that give too much “support”. I’m not a runner but still get in 6 - 8 miles per day. I love these no matter what I’m wearing.

Last year, I discovered a passion for distance running, but by the time I started pushing past the 5-mile mark, my enthusiasm hit a painful roadblock. My big toe and second toe were constantly rubbing against each other, leaving me with blisters so bad I could barely walk the next day. I tried everything—wrapping them, wearing bandages, even experimenting with different shoes—but nothing worked. It was frustrating and time-consuming, and I started to think my running days might be over before they really began.That’s when I stumbled upon these socks, and honestly, they were a game-changer. From the moment I slipped them on, I knew they were different. They separate your toes perfectly, eliminating the rubbing that caused my blisters. My Achilles, which was starting to chafe as well, finally got a break thanks to the added protection in the design.Fast forward to now—I’ve been blister-free ever since. These socks saved my running journey when I was ready to throw in the towel. They’re comfortable, durable, and have held up for months of intense use. I’ve even come to love the fun colors and patterns that brighten up my runs.If you’ve ever struggled with toe rub or blisters, don’t waste time like I did trying half-baked solutions. These socks are affordable, effective, and worth every penny. I haven’t even bothered looking at other brands because these do the job so perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone who loves running but hates the pain that sometimes comes with it!

Can’t beat these for price - I run long distance and have uncopperative little and ring-finger toes, so I have to wear five-finger socks or else I get blisters out of a “Curiosities of Podiatry” textbook. I’d *love* to run all my runs in Ijinjis, but price-wise it's really not realistic.That’s where these come in.I’ve been buying knock off Ijinjis at the beginning of my training season for the last five years, and will continue to do so for as long as they make them. These are great for runs up to 18 miles, and will last for up to 10 months, even at punishing levels of daily use. For cheap running socks, they are remarkably comfortable and have virtually unnoticeable seams. The elastic in them is durable and they remain snug throughout their lifespan and I can count the number of times they’ve given me blisters on one hand. They even come in an attractive range of colors.They are a bit thin in terms of material, and the claim that they provide compression is a bit of a stretch. But who cares? At $16 for a three pairs, use them five days a week for your short and medium length training runs. These are the “rented mule” of five-finger socks... at distances below 30K, you won’t notice/care about the difference between them and Ijinjis, and you can chuck them with clear conscience at the end of the season when they are clapped out.The ankle height is good - not too high, but high enough that road grit and trail duff don't get into them. The material is breathable and your feet don't end up soggy. They also seem to wash well and are pretty durable - I've had "cool-max" style socks that wicked sweat well, but smelled like grim death after only a few washings - and others that would withstand 20 run/wash cycles, then went paper-thin and threadbare all at once. My only gripe is that the pinky toe is a bit too long. At least for me... your mileage/toes may vary.

Very comfortable. I'm hoping they make a knee high bootsock

These are comparable to the name brand toe socks I've worn for years. I like that these are smoother and softer, though. I had serious doubts when I purchased these but am happy to say I'll be buying more.I purposely wore them without washing them and they performed well, no bunching or stretching out in my shoe. I sweat a lot and these maintained their shape on a very rugged and hilly 5 mile hike. I'll update once I've hiked in them after they're washed.

Got these for my stepfather's birthday, he loves them

Great everyday sock to supplement toe training socks. Material is soft, and toe separation is super functional. I have reordered these socks in other colors.

These are the best socks that I have ever purchased. My feet are terrible due to horrible bunions. The years of this problem has caused my toes to shift and curl up. My balance is off, and arthritis has now affected me. I am looking into surgery to get my feet realigned, but that is still months ahead of me. I bought these socks hoping that I could comfortably keep my toes separated enough while wearing shoes and going about my day. I was not so sure at first when I put them on, but there was a huge difference in my balance when I put my shoes on and started walking. Pain was significantly reduced, and the clicking in my knees due to the onset of osteoarthritis was also reduced. I cannot go forth and run a marathon yet, but these socks will help me to keep the active lifestyle that I enjoy until surgery comes. I am a teacher, so I am constantly on my feet just standing and walk thousands of steps a day during work. I also like to take a good power walk most evenings when my legs are up to it. These socks with the right shoes help me to keep enjoying the regular but active lifestyle that I want to maintain with minimal pain.
