What are the Injinji Men's Liner + Hiker Crew Socks?
The Injinji Liner + Hiker Crew Sock combo keeps your feet dry, comfortable, and blister-free. Whether you're hitting the trails for a day hike or taking on a long backpacking journey, this two-layer setup gives your feet the care they deserve.
What are they made of?
The Liner Layer
The first component of the set is the Liner sock. This layer comprises 75% CoolMax EcoMade, 21% nylon, and 4% Lycra. It's ultra-thin, breathable, and designed to fit snugly against the skin. One of its key functions is moisture management—CoolMax EcoMade actively wicks sweat away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable even during intense activity.
The Hiker Layer
The outer layer of the set is the Hiker sock, crafted for warmth, comfort, and durability. It's made from a blend of 43% wool, 43% acrylic, 12% nylon, and 2% Lycra. Wool provides natural thermal regulation—keeping feet warm in cold conditions and cool in warmer environments—while resisting odours and absorbing moisture. Acrylic enhances the plush feel and boosts cushioning, making each step more comfortable, especially over long distances. Nylon contributes to the sock's durability and structural integrity, ensuring it holds up against abrasion and frequent wear. A touch of Lycra adds stretch, helping the sock conform to your foot for a secure, stay-put fit.
What are their features?
Blister Prevention Through Toe Separation
Unlike traditional socks that encase all your toes together, this liner wraps each toe in its own fabric sleeve. By creating a barrier between each toe, the sock eliminates the skin-on-skin friction that commonly leads to hotspots and blisters, especially during long hikes or high-intensity activity.
This separation also allows your toes to splay and move more naturally, improving balance and comfort on uneven terrain. It's ideal for runners, hikers, and anyone prone to friction-based foot discomfort.
Targeted Cushioning for Comfort
Each pair includes a padded footbed that offers the right balance of softness and support. This targeted cushioning helps absorb impact underfoot, making it ideal for rugged, rocky trails or long days when constantly moving. It reduces fatigue by easing pressure on high-impact zones like the heel and ball of the foot, keeping you comfortable from the first to the last step.
Supportive Arch Band
To enhance stability and reduce foot strain, the socks feature a supportive arch band that gently hugs your foot, providing a secure fit that helps prevent slippage inside your shoe. They offer that snug, "locked-in" feel that helps maintain comfort and control during active use.
Breathable Mesh Top
A thoughtfully designed mesh panel across the top of the foot promotes airflow where you need it most. This breathability helps regulate temperature, prevent hotspots, and manage moisture, keeping your feet cooler and fresher for longer, even on warm-weather hikes or high-output days.
Built on the Trail Midweight Crew Platform
All of these features are built on the proven Trail Midweight Crew sock platform. This means they rise to a mid-calf height that's just right for protecting against dirt, pebbles, and brush—without feeling bulky inside your boots. The midweight construction balances warmth and breathability, offering year-round versatility for various trail conditions.
