Looking for warm toe socks for winter? Discover which Injinji socks perform best in cold weather. From the popular Outdoor Midweight to smart Liner combinations, here you'll find the warmest options for blister-free, warm feet in barefoot shoes.
Want warm feet without blisters in winter? That's the challenge for many barefoot shoe wearers and outdoor enthusiasts. With Injinji toe socks, you have no friction between the toes and therefore no blisters. But which Injinji sock do you choose for cold days?
We've listed the 9 most popular Injinji winter socks, from light to extra warm. Whether you're running, hiking, or just want warm feet during winter activities: here you'll find the perfect toe sock for your winter.
Since early 2017, the Injinji Liners have been available in the Benelux. These ultra-thin socks are not thick winter socks per se, but they do form the ideal base layer for winter.
You wear a liner as your first protective layer. This toe sock will wick moisture away from your feet and prevent skin-on-skin contact between the toes, thereby preventing blisters.
The liners are available in two models:
Thanks to the merino wool, you can also wear the merino wool variant as a single layer. Note: we do not recommend wearing this Merino Liner in sturdy hiking boots. This is a thin sock and therefore somewhat less sturdy.
Want to wear a second sock over it for extra warmth? Then immediately choose our number 2 in this overview: the Injinji Liner + Hiker combination.
At number 8 we find the Injinji Run Lightweight No-Show Wool. This sock is the ideal sock for the doubters among us.
Why doubt?
But why still in the top 9? The Injinji Run Lightweight No-Show Wool contains merino wool - the finest type of wool that exists. Merino wool is so fine that it doesn't itch. Moreover, it has the property of wicking an enormous amount of moisture from the feet, without feeling clammy.
This means merino wool is able to keep your feet warm in cold conditions, but this sock will also keep your feet fresh in warmer conditions.
Perfect for: Runners who want slightly warmer feet in winter, but want to avoid overheating at all costs.
The name speaks for itself. The Injinji Trail Midweight Crew are high trail socks from the Midweight collection.
Features:
The Injinji Ultra Run Crew looks somewhat similar to the Trail Series on the outside. However, this sock differs in two important areas:
The Ultra Run Crew is available in both unisex and women's models.
Perfect for: Ultra runners and those who want extra support during long distances.
The Injinji Trail Midweight Mini-Crew is very similar to the Trail Midweight Crew. This toe sock has exactly the same composition and is available in the same colors.
So how does this sock differ?
Because this model is slightly shorter, many runners find the combination with long running tights a bit more comfortable than its taller 'big brother'.
The Injinji Outdoor Midweight Mini-Crew reaches above the ankle and is popular not only with hikers, but also with trail runners. This toe sock combines:
Perfect for: Hikers and trail runners looking for warmth and strength in a more compact model.
Going on a (multi-day) trek? Then this high Injinji toe sock really shouldn't be missing.
The Injinji Outdoor Midweight Crew is a versatile merino wool hiking sock that is suitable for both high and low hiking boots. The high version (up to mid-calf) offers extra protection and warmth during long hikes.
Perfect for: Multi-day treks, winter hikes and anyone looking for maximum warmth and comfort.
The Liner + Hiker combination was the biggest innovation at Injinji in 2017. After the Injinji Liners came on the market at the beginning of that year, they created the ideal sock to wear over this liner.
What makes this combination so special?
The Liner + Hiker combination consists of two layers:
The outer sock is not a toe sock (so no separate toes) but has been anatomically shaped for a perfect fit.
The advantage of this system:
The number 1 in this top 9 is the Injinji Snow. This high Injinji knee sock with merino wool was specially made to be worn in winter conditions.
Features:
Perfect for: Winter sports, extreme cold and anyone looking for the warmest Injinji toe sock. Note, this is not a specific ski sock so it has no padding on the shins.
For extreme cold and winter sports:
For hiking and trekking:
For running and trail running:
As a smart base layer:
