Sock review - Injinji 5 toe vs Nike 2 layer

I have read many reviews of each of these socks hence recently purchasing a pair of each for £10 each per pair! Not cheap..

I will start with the Nike 2 layer. A brand I love and recommend.
Shame the Nike 2 layer was crap than. Its a 'blister free' sock with 2 layers of fabric. Not the whole sock, just 2 layers in the 2 worse spots IE the toe box and heal. If only the toe box was not so tight!
It literally squeezed my little pinky toe in and under my other toes. This meant high impact on my recent 10 mile hike with all my weight smacking the end of my pinky. Massive blisters for me now to deal with.. I will through these out in the bin.

Injinji 5 toe socks on the other hand are awesome.
They are like a little glove for your foot. Granted they felt weird at first. Never before have I had my toes separated with out on the trial. So each toe could stretch out and find its own space within my shoe. Even after 10 miles my feet felt fresh.
Needless to say I have ordered 2 more pairs for this upcoming weekend 100 miles walk!
