Though I have worn the Injinji socks for many hours during the past two months, I have not yet got rid of the unpleasant feeling that there is a little something stuck between my toes; even so I have used Vibram Five-Fingers sandals this summer, and really loved them, the Injinji socks fabric seems to be much more obtrusive and I'm not still used to them.

Admittedly, because I tend to wear socks only when it is cold, I wish I had chosen the Crew length over the Quarter! As it is, I hate to feel drafts around my ankles, especially when I am seated so the legs of my trousers tend to rise up my calfs. But apart from that mistake of mine, I also have the feeling that my feet never get warm enough, as if these socks were colder than ordinary ones the same way gloves are colder than mittens.

My last criticism concerns the look of the socks: they seem to pill all over and look fuzzy in many areas (the red arrows in the right picture only point to the most showing zones). Besides making them look ugly enough, I wonder whether this could lead to premature aging as pilling is nothing less than a loss of substance.

Apart from the above observations, the Injinji Tetratsoks don't seem to be very different from ordinary hiking socks: they are normally smooth against the skin, wash well and dry in about the same time as Coolmax thicker socks.
