Injinji Compression Ex-Celerator Black Sock

Brand Info

In 1999, the Romay brothers set out to redesign the basic structure and shape of the 'regular' sock. Their intentions were pure and very simple: “We wanted to create the best possible interface that would allow the entire foot to perform naturally and freely inside our shoes - just like being barefoot. There had to be a way to combine the comfort and dexterity of bare feet with the protection of a seamless sock. Everything about the conventional tube sock works against your feet’s natural form and function.” 

Here is how the Romay Brothers explained it further: Think of gloves and mittens - "Mittens keep your fingers together to create a warmer, oven-like environment, while gloves offer less warmth but more dexterity. The same principles can be applied to our feet. Conventional socks force your toes to work together as one unit, creating unprotected friction, heat and moisture build up, and constricting the circulation of the foot. Have we been wearing mittens on our feet all this time?"

From this, the Injinji socks were born and since their first range, the Performance line, Injinji have continued to widen their range!

Product Comment : Ive been waiting for these for some time now as ankle socks irritate me so the longer versions are just what I need. The individual toes have stopped my athletes foot from flaring up since Ive been wearing them and they also hold my feet properly so I can place my feet better when Im running. Im not getting pins and needles so they must be improving my circulation, although they do promise a lot they also deliver!
How did they fit ? Size was perfect
