I recently bought some of each brand. The Injinji Tetrasoks were frankly the least comfortable of the three, and after just a few minutes I gave up on them. They were actually more thin and translucent than the Feelmax socks, which fit much better and were very comfortable.

Toe Toe Walkers are fantastic — although on the pair I have the heel actually sits behind my ankle. They still feel like they fit better than any other socks I’ve worn.

Having better toe grip improves balance…

First,
there are no such things as socks that would fit perfectly. It would require someone making them specifically for your feet – and I’m pretty sure that no one is capable of giving such a service at a price anyone would be willing to spend on socks. Anything mass-produced can only be satisfying or unsatisfying. I know perfectly normal and healthy people who couldn’t use toesocks because their toes were somehow out of the “norm”. These people are and probably will be out-of-luck with any toesocks, sadly.

Second,
with Injinji or Toe Toe, once you wear out the fabric in those crucial spots, you are finished with the socks, and have to go buy new ones. This is not the case with Feelmax’s socks which – by lacking a separate heal structure – you can simply switch the socks once they start to wear out, essentially doubling their life span (you mileage may vary as FM, too, offers a mix of yarns to choose from).

I’m pretty sure the foremost reason for FM to settle for a “heal-less” design was only because it’s cheaper to manufacture. But as it turns out, it serves a double purpose, which might offer a better bang for a buck.

Hi There! Generally, if the design is really supposed to be a grip, it would be on the bottom. I have not seen a toe sock that has a design on the top, so I suspect that you’re grip theory is the right one and should be on the bottom

I know this may be a stupid question… but this is my first time wearing toe socks… i bought a pair with a design… now the design seems to be a “gripper” material… does this go on the top part of the foot or on the bottom??

Socks are something safe to buy online since you don’t need to test them and can see photos. Since you can’t test socks in a store anyway, shopping online has no downside except if the price is higher.

I love the Injinji socks! I wear FiveFingers shoes and they are perfect to wear with them to keep your feet warm and to stop the FiveFingers from rubbing! Great idea!
