RUNNING 5-FINGER SOCKS - BLACK/YELLOW

Good quality & comfortable. I’ve spent some long days in them around the house and working. Feel they will be good for runs with or without five finger shoes.

bit small, can take some getting used to on the toes, needed XL although I am a 9 or the toes were too tight.

I wear toe socks regularly, having bought in to the whole barefoot/minimalist idea on discovering that I have a bunion. Also because my big toe would rapidly gouge a hole in regular socks and I liked the idea that the sock toes would move with - rather than against - the toe. I have paid for a leading brand and cheap Chinese. The former were expensive, comfortable and developed holes quite quickly; the Chinese shredded rapidly. I tried these Decathlon socks and now own half a dozen pairs. No holes so far. They are relatively thick and robustly made. The one downside is that they have a wide elasticated band over the top of what I would call the midfoot and this can make the foot feel a little compressed. I take a size 9 (UK) shoe and wear them with safety shoes for active 10 hour shifts and I'm always grateful to take them off but I can't say that they're uncomfortable when wearing them. Like all toe socks they're a bit awkward to get on compared to ordinary socks but it gets easier once you develop a technique - open up the toes with a finger for starters and try putting the sock on the end of your foot and sliding your foot forward on the ground!
