Injinji Artist Designed Toe Socks

Product Launch: Injinji Artist Designed Canyon Collection

We love Injinji socks, so when we hear of new style coming in, we get very excited!

The new colour ways in the Injinji Trail and Women’s Trail ranges are not just new colour ways like in any other season release, these are limited edition and artist designed, making them that little bit more special! Check the full range here.

To check out the full details behind the range and the artist, head over to the Injinji site here where you can read more about Kia’s creative process around the creation of the designs in the Canyon Collection.

The artist of this range is Kika Macfarlane – an artist, art director, and visual designer based in Ketchum, Idaho. Originally from Colorado, Kika received her design and liberal arts education in British Columbia, Canada, and then worked in-house on design teams for brands like Patagonia and Stio.

I have already taken a fresh pair of the Mini-Crew Stream socks for a run out yesterday, they feel as good as ever, they are still the Injinji Trail range which is one of our best selling socks from the Injinji range, so that comes as no surprise, but it always feels nice to be rocking some new colour-ways. Especially when they match up with your shoes (it’s the little things in life, ha!). I’ll also be taking the Midnight socks for a run out when the weather is a little cooler, my tan lines are bad enough with the recent sunshine, I don’t think I could cope with 2 lots of them on my legs!

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over and check them out!

INJINJI EXCLUSIVE: The New Injinji Trainer Sock – Available Exclusively From Feetus.co.uk

Well, this is some really, really exciting news that we have sat on for a little while, mainly due to the fact that we didn’t know exactly when they would land with us. However, we have been told they are due in port soon, and should be with us early May, or even before. So, drum roll please …..

The all new Injinji Trainer toe sock will be available exclusively from Feetus.

As the UK’s leading Injinji stockist, we were excited just to hear about a new range from Injinji, but when we were offered exclusivity in the UK on this range, we had to take it! We are extremely passionate about Injinji toe socks and the benefits that they can offer, so being able to bring you all the best products available along with excellent customer service is what Feetus has been built on, and this is testament to that.

The new Injinji Trainer range is designed for when you are training off the trails, and away from the road. We see these as been perfect for those strength and conditioning sessions at the gym, or some HIIT training, plyometrics and more. We can’t wait to get our feet in a pair of these and do a full review on them. For now, here is the Injinji blurb on the new range…

When preparing for a race, time in the gym fortifies your ability to push it to the finish line. Injinji’s new Trainer series is made for ambitious runners, giving your feet optimum support for active days off the trail. Featuring a precise fit that hugs the contours of the foot, your arch and ankle will be supported through all dynamic jumps and movements. The five-toe design minimizes skin-on-skin friction and allows for total foot utilization, making connection with the ground more intuitive and comfortable. The five-toe design and Injinji’s Original Weight thin cushioning promotes natural, restriction-free movement and gives the perfect amount of support to handle burpees, box-jumps, and everything in between.

Designed for runners’ cross-training, strength, circuit, and HIIT workouts, our new Trainer Mini-Crew will help you meet (or exceed) all of your performance goals. Made with our Original Weight thin cushioning, the seamless five-toe sleeve design eliminates blister-causing friction and promotes natural, restriction-free movement. A breathable mesh top keeps you cool and dry, and a precise fit hugs the contours of your foot to move in sync with you, allowing a greater feel for the ground. Technical ribbed knit provides enhanced support to the arch and ankle, allowing the perfect amount of cushion for your next workout.

Injinji Trainer Toe SocksThey will be landing with us in early May (maybe sooner), and will be available for pre-order towards the end of this month. Keep an eye on our social media, and newsletters to find out when this will be.

They are a unisex sock, available in 2 colours; Orange and Lime, and will be available in Small, Medium and Large.

Injinji 22 Stock Update

Injinji Stock Update (Spring/Summer 2022)

I hope everyone is enjoying Spring so far! I can’t be the only one glad to see the return of light nights and the (slightly) warmer weather, although, as I am writing this, I have seen nothing but rain.

So, this is a quick blog entry to address current shortages with Injinji socks as well as an update on the incoming stock for the Spring/Summer 2022 range.

As you may have noticed, there are a fair amount of ranges and sizes currently unavailable to order on the website. This is not due to a lack of attention, but due to there being no availability of these within the UK currently. This is for various reasons, but mainly down to unprecedented demand for Injinji socks over the last 2 years, and heavy delays in manufacturing and shipping. This has affected some of the new colour-ways from 2021, which sold out extremely quickly, as well as some of the staple products from Injinji such as the liner socks, which have been unavailable in all but large and x-large since early 2022. We have tried our very best to ensure there is a good availability across all Injinji ranges and in as many sizes as possible, but have not always been successful.

Our next shipment, which will be replenishing stock on things like the Liner and Ultra Run ranges, as well as bringing in the new Spring/Summer 22 range, is due to land with us in early May (maybe sooner, fingers crossed). We are very excited for this to land, as not only does it mean we will have full stock availability for all you Injinji fans, but it will also mean a huge expansion of the available colour-ways. Injinji have some fantastic new designs this season, and I am sure you will like them as much as we do.

Right now, we don’t know what the next 12 months will bring in terms of further delays to Injinji availability. Hopefully none, and we can wave goodbye to backorders and waiting times, but just in case, and to make sure you don’t miss out, we have an alert system setup for anything we don’t have available. Just find the item you want on the website, select the size, and there will be an option to subscribe to stock notifications. Pop in your email, and you will alerted as soon as we log these back in stock.

To end on a positive note, Feetus will be announcing some very, very exciting Injinji related news in the next few days.

Injinji Spring Summer 2021 Range Has Landed!

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest Feetus blog post! Today, we are looking at the all new Injinji Spring Summer 2021 Lineup.

Although delayed for a little longer than expected, due to obvious reasons at the moment, we have now finally taken delivery of the new range, and it all looks fantastic in person! The new releases focus on expanding the Injinji Ultra Run and Ultra Run Womens range, not only into new colour-ways, but there is no also a mini-crew version available, to add to the current no-show and crew Ultra Run toe socks. There are also some new colour-ways across some of the other range.

Before we dive in, here is what Injinji have to say about the new range…

Bright colors and new designs have always been a staple of new Injinji products, and this year is no different. The Run and Ultra Run series feature new, exciting colors and patterns to wear on runs and workouts. Additionally, we are continuing to build on the Ultra Run series and have launched a new cut, the Ultra Run Mini-Crew and Women’s Ultra Run Mini-Crew. This brand new sock is sure to be a favorite among runners and outdoor enthusiasts.

So, let’s take a look. First up, the Injinji Ultra Run. In the unisex range, we see a new style added to the no-show and crew sock heights, as well as the mini-crew sock height added to the range. The new colours are Pop and Deco, you can check out the photos below.

In the Womens Ultra Run line-up, we have the same kind of changes, mini-crew has been added, and new styles across the range. The new colour-ways are Dew and Melon.

 

On top of this, Injinji have also treat us to some brilliant new colour-ways in the trusty Injinji Run and Womens Run range. In the unisex range, we have seen the addition of 3 new colourways in the no-show, and a new lightweight mini-crew toe sock.

Some great new styles added to the range this season, and great to see that the Ultra-Run range has had the mini-crew length added to it. These are now all available to buy online at feetus.co.uk. As always, we are here to help, so please just let us know if you have any questions. I am well aware of how it can be confusing which socks might be right for you, so we are always happy to help and to make sure you get the right sock for you.

We have also got some new products that we are adding to the range this season, but that is for another blog post, so make sure you check back!

Delays, Delays, Delays!

Just a quick update on the new Injinji stock and other products.

We have been advised that there is further delays on the latest shipment coming over by sea. We have been told that the freighter is not due to be docking until later this month, so delays could push into November! Very sorry about this folks, but we will have these ready ASAP.

Injinji Autumn Winter 2020 Range Released

Something to smile about, finally! The Injinji Autumn Winter 2020 Range has been announced! Lets check out the new colour-ways for the coming season!

So, what is new from Injinji for their Autumn/Winter 2020 range?

From Injinji …

Each season we strive to innovate and improve upon our products to help runners and athletes reach their peak performance. This season we delivered new looks to our Trail and Run series. We’re proud to expand our Spectrum direct-to-garment line with the Trail Midweight Mini-Crew and Women’s Trail Midweight Mini-Crew. Additionally, building upon the success of the Run redesign from our previous season, the Run Lightweight and Original Weight Mini-Crew socks have an overall new look while maintaining the same fibers, fit and feel.

So we have some new Trail designs, and some of the changes made in the Spring/Summer range (specifically changing the solid black range to black/grey) have been pushed into the RUN mini-crew range as well.

There are new Trail designs in the Women’s and the unisex range. In the Women’s range, we now have 2 new colour-ways in the mini-crew range; Chevron and Jupiter, and in the crew size, we have Legend (check out the images below). All in all, all 3 are nice additions to the range, no complaints from us!

In the unisex range, we have similar additions, 2 new colour-ways in the mini-crew size, and 1 in the crew size; Fences, Jewel and Peak, respectively (images below). As with the Women’s mini-crew range, we have one sock with a black foot and a styled cuff, and one full colour. Nothing to daring, and both are nice on the eye. In the Trail Crew range for the unisex though, a little disappointed there isn’t anything a little more exciting! The new Peak style is not a million miles away from the range standard Granite colour. Nevertheless, is a nice addition and look great on the feet as always.

So, when can you buy them? We usually expect our Autumn Winter Range to arrive at the beginning of September, however, we have already been advised of delays so are expecting them towards the end of September/beginning of October, fingers crossed! We will update you again as soon as they arrive with us!

Injinji Summer Stock Is Here!

Slightly delayed but Injinji Summer stock has now arrived!

The latest lineup from Injinji include some new colour-ways on several sock types, as well as updates to previous colour-ways.

From Injinji…

In 2013, we debuted Performance 2.0, a revamped line of Run, Trail and Sport series that provided more technical socks by fine tuning the fit and increasing the durability for various activities. Since then, we’ve expanded on that principle to develop additional series of socks aimed at runners, hikers and athletes. This year we decided to revamp our Run and Women’s Run line giving it an overall new look while not compromising on the fibers, fit and feel. In addition to the new designs, Spring / Summer 2020 features new bold Spectrum designs and new colors on our Ultra Run and Liner + Runner series.

So what new colours have we seen from Injinji? Lets start with the Injinji Women’s range. Injinji have brought through two new Spectrum colours in the Women’s Run Lightweight No-Show, these are Lush and Decode, both shown here. Both socks offer striking designs, as we have came to love from the Injinji Spectrum range. Injinji have also brought out two new designs in the non Spectrum range, these include Jewel and Tiger, which we think will be very popular!

 

Injinji have also brought in some new colours in the Women’s Ultra Run range. In the No-Show, there is the Prchid and the Daisy, while in the Crew, just the Orchid has came through.

 

In the Injini unisex range, there are a fair few additions, as well as a change up to an old favourite! Injinji have decided to replace the black sock, with a new design. What used to be solid black, Injinji have replaced with the new design, which is black with dark grey on the upper part of the sock. Not to sure how we feel about this as black is always a favourite, but they do still look good, so we will see what you guys think of them! In the Injinji Run Lightweight No-Show, there are also a couple of new additions; Malibu and Limeade. Both fantastic colours and we think both will be very popular with you guys!

Next up is the Injinji Ultra Run, in No-Show and Crew. Both have had some new colours added. In the No-Show, there is Solar and Crimson, and in the Crew, as with the Women’s range, just the one colour-way has been added, and this is the Crimson colour. The Ultra Run sock has been a popular choice since Injinji brought that range out, and is arguabley one of the comfiest socks in the range due to the padding in the socks, particularly underneath, it just feels really nice to walk around in, and even better on a run!

Other than that, there are some carry over styles which have stuck around from the 2019 range, which we are glad about, these include some of the Trail ranges in both the Women’s and Unisex ranges.

Thanks for reading! Make sure you head over to our Injinji Socks page in the shop and check out this range and more.

Injinji Autumn 2017 Range Coming VERY SOON!

Autumn is fast approaching, and so is the new Injinji Autumn 2017 Range! We have been told that it will land with us this week, and we will make sure they are available to order the second they do!

There are some really exciting additions to the range this season, including a Women’s Trail sock range, as well as…wait for it… a NON Toe sock from Injinji (insert dramatic music here).

There are also some new colourways in existing socks, but let’s talk about the new ranges first. The Injinji Women’s range

The Injinji Women’s range has probably been the biggest success for Injinji this past year. Historically, there was only ever a small selection of women’s socks, but in the last year, this has expanded to be multiple styles in the no-show, mini-crew and crew socks. This year, they are expanding that even further and introducing two whole new sock ranges for Women. The Injinji Trail range is now available in

This year, they are expanding that even further and introducing two whole new sock ranges for Women. The Injinji Trail range is now available in Women’s and will come in two colourways, the Parakeet, which is a mixture of greens, and the Mulberry, which is a mix of purples and greens (sneak peek below). They are both great looking socks, and as they are obviously taken from the core Trail range, they are sure to be great performing socks as well.

Onto the next new addition to the range, which is also available in a Women’s specific model, is the Injinji Hiker range.

The Hiker range comes as a multi-pack of two socks. It includes a pair of Lightweight Liner Coolmax socks, which are toe socks, as well as the Hiker sock, which is the non-toe sock (currently they are only available coupled with the liner, however, we have heard that they may be available individually next year). Now, the fact that they come with a liner toe sock quells our fears a little, but I do think it is a bold move from Injinji to move into the non-toe socks market.

The Hiker range is aimed towards, yep, you guessed it, hikers :). The sock itself is still a very technical sock. Made with NuWool, it mirrors the shape of your toes, providing more room and reducing bunching. The bottom of the Hiker and the top of the toe box feature an additional terry loop for maximum padding to keep your feet comfortable. We’ll be doing a separate blog on these once we have tested a pair out, so keep your eyes peeled.

So to summarise the complete range of new styles, we have new colourways in the; Run lightweight crew, Run lightweight no-show, Run Women’s lightweight no-show, mini-crew and crew, Run original weight no-show, Trail Mini-Crew and Crew, a complete range addition of Women’s Trail in mini-crew and crew, and finally, the Hiker range, in Unisex and Women’s.

These should be available on the site from tomorrow (22nd September 2017), delivery dependant, so make sure you check back!

5 Ways To Keep Your Feet Toasty & Warm This Winter

5 Ways To Prevent Your Feet Getting Cold

As the temperature plummets and the days grow shorter, it’s a good time to start thinking about how to keep our feet warm during outdoor exercise.

So, we’ve pulled together our ‘Top 5’ ways to help prevent your feet getting cold this winter, and have suggested five pairs of socks that will help keep you toasty.

  1. Thicker socks aren’t necessarily warmer

Don’t wear socks that are too thick for your shoes. If your sock is too thick, it can cause pressure on the foot, which in turn can cut circulation off to your toes. Your toes should be able to wiggle with your sock on your foot inside your shoe.

  1. Avoid cotton socks

Your feet sweat all the time, even when its cold. Cotton gets wet with sweat very quickly and doesn’t keep warm once wet. Opt for a technical fibre instead. Avoid-Cotton-Socks-Feetus-Winter-Blog

  1. Merino wool is your new best friend

This ‘magical’ fabric keeps your feet warm like no other! Merino wool is itch-free, thermostatic (temperature-regulating, making it idea for all weather; hot or cold) and offers superior moisture management.Merino-Wool-Feetus-Blog

  1. Liner socks

If your feet are always cold, try liner socks. It’s amazing just how much of an impact a thin liner sock can make. They’re also great to use as a day-to-day sock or as a lightweight sock for summer.

  1. Avoid Caffeine

A warm cup of tea or coffee may be just what you fancy, but caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, and causes your vessels to constrict, limiting blood flow to your extremities.Avoid-Caffeine-Feetus-BlogWinter-Socks

 

Our Top 5 Winter Toe Socks

Yeah, we love toe socks. Just that little extra material between the toes adds an extra degree of warmth vs conventional socks, but there is more to it than just that. Here, we give you a run-down of the 5 pairs of toe socks you should consider during the cold months.

OUTDOOR NuWool

Made from Injinji’s NuWool Merino wool fibre, these toe socks are our top-pick for winter use . The OUTDOOR range toe socks are thick without being bulky, yet they keep your feet so toasty when its cold. Available in Crew and Mini Crew.

TRAIL

The TRAIL range of toe socks are slightly thicker than the OUTDOOR range and feature a padded sole for added comfort and resistance to cold. Available in Micro, Mini Crew, and Crew.

Lightweight Liner

A very thin toe sock constructed from CoolMax, the Lightweight Liner is that perfect ‘extra layer’ when you need it.

SPORT CoolMax Crew

Great for year-round use, the Injinji SPORT Crew toe sock is higher up the ankle so it keeps your legs warm as well as your feet. The all-black colour is certainly a winner for year-round smart/leisure use.

Compression

These premium compression toe socks aid circulation, help reduce fatigue, and go knee-height to help keep the cold at bay during your sporting pursuits! The Ex-Celerator Compression 2.0 toe socks are the bee’s knees!Injinji Over the Calf- Compression Sport Toe Socks

How Do Women’s Injinji Socks Compare to Unisex Toe Socks?

Do you ever wonder if its just a gimmick when a sports company offers an alternative for women?

We do.

Earlier this year, Injinji released their Womens-Specific range of toe socks. They claim that these lightweight no show toe socks ‘better accommodate the female foot’ and offer ‘increased heel-to-toe stretch’. There is a two-way stretch through the mid-point of the arch to provide better compression through the female foot, and the toe pockets have been re-designed for a ‘better, snugger fit’. It all sounds great – but is it marketing-speak or can these socks cut the mustard? 

Earlier this month, we asked one of our super-customers to compare the new ladies-specific Injinji Performance 2.0 Lightweight No Show Women’s Toe Socks to the existing unisex toe socks. We like open, honest, and candid reviews (see this one from last month) and welcome criticism and feedback. We’re not all about sales, sales, sales; we care about our customers so its important to get an unbiased review from customers just like you… So without further ado, here’s Cath’s review.

Injinji Performance 2.0 Lightweight No Show Women’s Toe Socks – A Review

I have to admit to being a bit sceptical when I was asked to review Injinji’s women’s socks to see how they compare to unisex toe socks. I wear both ToeToe and Injinji toe socks on a regular basis and have never noticed a major problem with wearing a sock which wasn’t specifically designed for girls. I run almost exclusively in Vibram FiveFingers, usually with a lightweight liner.

First Impressions

My first impression when I took the socks out of the packet was that I liked the funky pattern (not that anyone’s going to see it once I’ve got my shoes on!) but that the fabric felt quite thick, especially for a sock described as “lightweight” with “ultra-thin” cushioning.

 The Fit

Getting the sock on was easy – the toes and heel fit in the right place first time with no need for adjustment. This is where I sometimes have issues with unisex socks – the toes tend to be a bit long and I have to tug on them to get them to fit snugly. Oddly, the ribbed band which is meant to support the arch sat too high on my foot but this didn’t cause any discomfort or chafing. The thick feel of the fabric was noticeable between the toes but overall, the sock felt snug – it hugged my foot without being constrictive.

As soon as I donned my Fivefingers, I completely forgot the socks were there – just what I demand of a toe sock. I’m always a bit wary of socks described as “no show” in case they’re too short and don’t protect my ankle from the cuff of my shoe, but these socks are a perfect length – they do show over the top of both FiveFingers and “normal” shoes but this doesn’t bother me as I prefer the protection this provides.

Blister Prevention 

While running, the socks stayed in place perfectly, felt comfortable and prevented the blisters I get if I run without socks.

On Test

The initial test run was a 4-miler on a cool Spring morning, and the socks kept my feet nice and warm, which makes me wonder how they will hold up to Summer conditions. However, when I got home I discovered just how good the “moisture management” properties are – the socks were damp on the outside but when I took them off, my feet were totally dry. In comparison, after a similar run, both my ToeToes and my feet feel damp.

Overall, I liked these socks. I was surprised to find that the women’s socks do fit better than the unisex version and was very impressed with the wicking properties. In Summer, I would probably continue to use my ToeToes – even though they don’t wick as well as the Injinjis; they’re much thinner and cooler so I would expect my feet to sweat less in them. However, this particular Injinji sock looks set to become a favourite in the cooler months and if there were a thinner version it could well become the only sock in my drawer.

So… by the sounds of it, the Injinji Women’s-Specific toe socks do exactly what we expect.

Way to go Injinji! Keep up the good work!
