Merino Protect Merino Five Toe Socks For Men and Women Lightweight Coolmax Low Cut Five Finger Ankle Socks For Hiking

Got these to replace some other merino socks that were constricting my toes. Took a little getting used to but enjoying the comfort and have been wearing them primarily for working but wearing them more anytime I wear sneakers. Fit is accurate and fabric is comfortable with no toe seam irritation.

For clarity, I am going on a 700 mile hike in April and need to pack light (max 20 pounds) in a 32L backpack (incl 2L water). I tried another expensive brand (twice the price) and after 3 hand washes the toes had holes in 2 pairs. I wrote to the company with pictures but they never responded. I decided on these Merino Protect socks because they offered a 3 month warranty which was ideal as that is my test period before the hike. After 4 washes these light weight five toe socks are still looking brand new, with no worn out toe tips/heels and they are so very soft. These 3 pairs are worn everyday with my toed shoes (dry days), or boots (on wet Pacific NW days) and sandals when in doors. At the end of the 3rd day I wash them and hang them to dry overnight, then repeat every 3rd day. My plan is to use them every day until departure date of April 13. So far I am very pleased and have decided to order the second 3rd pair from their site and save these new order for the hike. My feet are size 9.5 and 10, and I bought the large sized socks.

Love them!

The toes stitching is a bit noticeable. Makes for little square toes instead of rounded off. But the socks are comfortable and fit well. Can't comment on durability yet though.

These are my first time trying tie socks. I bought them to go with what I thought were toe shoes. The socks are very light and seem to fit well.. they seem well made and are rather comfortable.

great toe socks

I really wanted to like these because I’ve been wearing Injinji for years and they’ve gotten poorer in quality over time. The fit and feel of these socks are great but unfortunately I wore a pair for 2 or 3 runs and already have holes worn in the big toe on both socks. Bummer

Love these socks. Ordering another kit!
