Give Your Toes Independence!

Give Your Toes Independence!

Two years ago, I bought my first pair of Vibram Five Fingers (VFF’s) and first pair of Injini Socks on the same day.  As you may know, VFF’s are “barefoot” shoes that have pockets for each toe.  So, if you want to wear socks with VFF’s, then you need some toe socks to go with them.

I decided wearing some ’70’s vintage striped knee high toe socks would push the ‘you look ridiculous’ meter over the top with the VFF’s.  I opted for Injinji’s instead.  Plus, they are moisture-wicking, which I don’t think had been invented  when those original toe socks came out.

These days, I rarely wear the VFF’s, but I do wear Injinji socks on almost every run.  They work just fine in regular shoes.  I still like Swiftwick as well, but right now, I favor the Injinji’s.  The moisture-wicking is great and the toe pockets prevent blisters and maybe even give the toes a little bit of independence.

Injini Giveaway

To celebrate the Fourth of July and try to increase readership of this site, I am giving away one pair of Injinji socks to a subscriber.  This is not a media sample (I don’t have any of those yet!) and is coming out of my own pocket.  To enter the drawing, follow these two steps:

1. Leave a comment on this post with your shoe size.  The socks come in sizes, so I’ll need to know what to get you.

2. Sign up for this blog’s mailing list, if you do not already receive the e-mail updates.    The form is at the bottom of this post and also at the top of the right column on this site.  I will not share your address with anyone else.

If you already receive the e-mail updates, and are reading this in email, simply leave a comment with your shoe size at this link: http://palmettostaterunner.com/?p=1381.

At 9pm Eastern time on Wednesday, July 11th 2012, I will randomly select one name from the e-mail list.  I’ll contact the winner via e-mail Wednesday evening or Thursday morning to get shipping address details.  Sorry, Mom, you are not eligible.

Have a fun and safe Independence Day!

POFIFOTO!
