What are the Injinji Liner Crew Socks?
Injinji Liner Crew Socks are designed for comfort and performance. They are ideal for trail running, long-distance hikes, or rugged treks. You can wear them on their own or as a base layer under heavier socks for added moisture management. The lightweight, toe-sleeve design separates each toe to minimise friction, prevent blisters, and promote natural movement.
What are they made of?
Lightweight Yet Durable Construction
Crafted with a 200 needle count, these socks offer an impressive balance of lightweight comfort and long-term durability. They feel soft and breathable against the skin, yet they're tough enough to withstand the rigours of trail use. The fine knit enhances fit and performance, delivering reliable wear even on extended adventures.
COOLMAX EcoMade
The primary material in the Injinji Loon socks is COOLMAX EcoMade, making up 75% of the fabric composition. This fibre is engineered for performance, specifically targeting moisture management. It works by drawing perspiration away from the skin and dispersing it across the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate quickly. This material helps maintain a dry, cool environment around your feet, which is especially valuable during intense physical activity or in hot conditions.
Nylon for Strength and Durability
These socks also contain 21% Nylon. Nylon fibres are known for their toughness and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for hiking or trail-running gear. In these socks, nylon reinforces high-wear areas and ensures the structural integrity of the fabric over time. Whether hiking over rocky terrain or simply wearing them daily, the nylon component helps the socks withstand wear and tear while maintaining their shape and comfort.
Lycra for Stretch and Fit
The remaining 4% of the sock is made from Lycra, a type of elastane known for its exceptional elasticity. This small but crucial addition allows the socks to conform closely to the shape of your foot. Lycra ensures a secure, snug fit that stays in place, preventing the socks from bunching, slipping, or creating pressure points. It contributes to the overall comfort and performance of the socks by allowing for a flexible fit.
What are their features?
Patented Five-Toe Design
The defining feature of the Injinji Liner Crew Socks is their patented five-toe design. Each toe is wrapped in its own sleeve, eliminating skin-on-skin friction—a major cause of blisters. By separating the toes, this design not only helps prevent hotspots and discomfort but also allows for a more natural toe splay. This design improves balance, promotes better foot alignment, and supports a more natural stride, whether hiking, running, or scrambling over rocky ground.
Crew-Length Coverage
The crew height provides added protection up the ankle and lower calf—ideal for guarding against trail debris, dirt, or rubbing from boots. This length is beneficial when navigating rugged terrain or wearing mid-height footwear, offering more coverage without compromising breathability.
Perfect for Layering
Designed to be worn on their own or as a base layer under thicker socks, the Injinji Liner Crew Socks are incredibly versatile. As a liner, they wick away moisture from your feet, helping to keep them dry even on long, sweaty treks. This layering system adds extra comfort, warmth, and blister prevention—particularly important for multi-day hikes or cold-weather adventures.
