Injinji Outdoor Quarter Forest 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!

Technology Explained

The NuWool technology intergrates Merino Wool's natural high performance composite with the best modern man-made fiber technology. The result is an ultra fine trans-seasonal yarn that keeps your skin temperature refreshingly cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

As your feet face the elements, the Outdoor Series tetratsok is an interface system specifically designed to perform and adapt to any type of terrain. Engineered with AIS:technology and constructed with Injinji’s exclusive natural wicking Nüwool™, the tetratsok provides exceptional comfort and performance unlike any other athletic wool sock.


Anatomical Interface System (AIS) is engineered to separate your toes with a thin, anti-friction membrane that is both lightweight and breathable. Seamless in construction, the tetratsok forms to every contour of your foot. This allows for true restriction free movement from your heel to five toes, encourages healthy circulation, and eliminates skin on skin contact between your toes to prevent blisters from developing.

Product Comment : When I first got these I wasnt sure about them, they do take some getting used to, putting them on to begin with feels a bit wierd but once theyre on they feel a lot more natural. They let my toes spread a lot more which is why I bought them, I have now found that they are a lot more comfortable than my other socks even just for wandering around the house.
How did they fit ? Size was perfect
