Toe Socks can help prevent foot irritation in runners and walkers, reducing the risk for blisters

Blisters are among the most common sports injuries experienced by runners and walkers. Blisters can result in discomfort, pain and infection, as well as impair performance. Blisters on the feet of runners and walkers are almost always caused by friction and rubbing by socks and shoes. This friction combined with excessive moisture caused by perspiration increases the likelihood for blister formation. Avoiding sweaty socks and ill-fitting shoes can help prevent blisters. Avoiding socks that bunch and rub against skin also helps. For this reason, the perfect socks for runners and walkers might be toe socks.

Why toe socks?

Toe socks are designed to fit the foot's natural shape, eliminating the extra material around the toes that tends to bunch and rub against skin, causing irritation.

What type of toe sock should I look for?

Probably the best toe socks on the market for athletes is Feelmax Toe Socks, which uses Dupont CoolMax fibers. When the foot perspires, the CoolMax fibers wick moisture away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. Toe socks with CoolMax fibers dry up to four times faster than regular cotton sports socks. Do not use cotton toe socks during athletic activities. Cotton toe socks cannot wick moisture away from your feet.

Are toe socks expensive?

In general, toe socks are reasonably priced, with Feelmax Toe Socks averaging less than $20 per pair.

Where can I buy toe socks?

A variety of toe sock brands are available in retail shops and online. For more information about toe socks, please browse the menu on this page.
