When you want separate toe sleeves without wool

An over the calf toe sock with what Injinji calls protective cushion, a midweight knit and a 59% coolmax polyester blend.

Keep in mind: The tall cuff suits tall boots and gaiters; it is a lot of sock for a low shoe.

Closest in Injinji’s range: the Spectrum Trail Midweight Crew. They differ in cuff and blend; the weight, cushion and size chart are the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Injinji size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

To extend the life of your socks, wash on delicate with cold water, followed by line drying.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.

Another sock to compare

Both are wool-free: neither lists any wool in its published blend. This changes from separate toe sleeves to conventional. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Wigwam Over the Top Over-the-Calf Lightweight uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
