What Size Toes Fit in Performance Injinji Toesocks?

GENERAL INJINJI QUESTIONS:

Q: What’s the advantage of Toe Socks?
A: The key design principal in the development of the Tetratsok was to create the best possible interface that allowed the entire foot to perform naturally and freely inside our shoes, just like being barefoot. Everything about the conventional tube sock works against your feet’s natural form and function. Consider the difference between gloves and mittens: Mittens keep your fingers together to create a warmer, oven-like environment, while gloves offer less warmth but more dexterity. The same principles can be applied to our feet. Conventional tube style socks force your toes to work together as one unit creating heat and moisture build up, unprotected skin on skin friction and reduces healthy air and blood circulation to the foot. Why have we been wearing mittens on our feet all this time?

The human foot has toes to facilitate proper balance, posture, stability and grip. Each series of Injinji patented tetratsoks are specifically designed to enable your entire foot to perform naturally and efficiently from your heel to five toes inside your shoe. By providing a restriction free environment, your toes are able to become activated, providing you with increased dexterity, tactile sensitivity and allowing them to perform as they were intended. In addition, the flat knit weave and seamless construction of the Tetratsok means there is nothing to rub or irritate the foot within the shoe providing an excellent interface to prevent common foot problems from developing; blisters, hotspots, moisture build-up, transference of fungal conditions and neuromas caused by improper footwear and athletic form.

Q: Doesn’t it feel funny having something between your toes?
A:You will definitely notice a new sensation when you first slip on your Tetratsok as your body and mind is not accustomed to the luxury of having individual compartments for your toes. This sensation soon dissipates much like putting your watch on the other arm; you know it’s there for the first few minutes then your body becomes accustomed to it. You will soon feel that separating the toes prove to be exceptionally comfortable.

Top


Q: Are they hard to get on?
A:Compared to a normal tube style sock, when fitting straight out of the packaging it will take you approximately
10 – 20 seconds longer to properly fit the Tetratsok. This is due to the toe compartments being flat and yet to form to your particular toe shape. Once you have worn and washed your socks once or twice you will find that the sock material has a memory and your toes will slide into the pockets with relative ease.

Top

Q: My toes are a funny shape, will they fit?
A: We have seen short toes, long toes, fat toes, skinny toes, overlapping toes and even a variety of each on the one foot! However, the Lycra component of the sock uniquely allows the Tetratsok to conform and mould to the myriad of different toe shapes and sizes.

Top

What’s the difference between the Performance and Outdoor Series?
Each series of the Tetratsok is designed with the same patented AIS technology. The primary difference being the Performance Series uses 70% CoolMax to provide the exceptional cool, moisture wicking properties of the sock. The Outdoor Series utilizes the natural fibers of Australian Merino Wool to provide a transeasonal sock that keeps your skin temperature refreshingly cool in summer and warm in winter.

Top

Q: I am a men’s 10.5 foot, which size should I wear; medium or large?
A: Sizes that lie in between two sizes (As Above), we recommend sizing up to the next size (ie) 11 or Large.

Top

Q: Wouldn’t Toe Socks be hot?
A: Conventional Tube style socks act like mittens on your feet creating an oven like environment. On the contrary, separating the toes significantly increases the flow of air between the toes and forefoot. This combined with the breath ability and moisture wicking properties of CoolMax provides an extremely dry and cool interface.

Top

Q: What does Injinji mean and how is it pronounced?
A:“Injinji“ is pronounced (In-gin-ji) and is an African term which describes when a drumming circle reaches a climax, the peak in the performance, when all of the participants are at one with the rhythm, when everyone hits a stride and there is unison among all.

Like all styles of Z-CoiL® footwear, the Z-West boot features a patented, shock-absorbing conical steel coil in each heel, which is designed to absorb up to 50% of the impact from walking or running, while delivering a 40 to 50% energy return. This coil-suspension system works in conjunction with a built-in orthotic that distributes pressure evenly across the bottom of the foot, eliminating sore spots and relieving the pain typically caused by heel spurs or plantar fasciitis.
While most Z-CoiL® footwear openly displays the signature heel coils, Z-West Boots sport Enclosed Coil System™ heels —dense foam heel coverings designed to help keep cords and cables from catching on the coils—molded with a distinctive “cowboy boot” shape.
Z-CoiL® shoes also feature thick neoprene cushioning under the forefoot and a rocker-bottom sole that gently assists each step. Such total foot support and cushioning work together to reduce the shock of impact to the body, and less impact means less pain.

Diabetic Self-Exam and Dr. Kerch Starts Your Process for Medicare Shoe Reimbursement Program

Foot Care For Diabetics
A regular self-exam will show indications for further follow-up:

1. Balance. A good test for balance involves standing on one foot, with your arms out to the side and your eyes closed. If you are less than 30 years old, you should be able to balance for 15 seconds, 30-40 years old for 12 seconds, 40-50 years old for 10 seconds and over 50 years old for seven seconds. This can be improved with exercises.

2. Circulation. Look at the color of your toes. Are they red, pink, purple or blue? Press down on the nail of your big toe until the color blanches. Now let go and allow the blood flow to return to your toe. The return of normal color should take 2-5 seconds in a person with average circulation.
At Your 2 Feet you can choose from the Jobst styles of support stockings. Support stockings are to be put on first thing in the morning so the compression will help pump the circulation back to your heart all day long. If you have haven't tried Jobst support hose yet, they are different than other brands of support hose.

3. Flexibility. How flexible are your toes? Try to pick up a marble or a small dish towel. To test your ankle flexibility, hang your heel off of a stair. Now let the heel go below the level of the stair. If this causes pain, stop the test. If your heel goes below the level of the stair without causing strain in your calf, that is a goof sign. If there is some strain, this can be improved with flexibility exercises.

4.Pain. There should be no pain in the average foot.

5. Sensation. Take a pencil eraser and lightly run it on the top, bottom and both sides of your feet. The sensation should feel equal in all quadrants. It may tickle on the bottom of the feet. That is normal. The last paragraph outlines how Dr. Kerch works with Your 2 Feet in fitting you with the proper diabetic footwear.

6. Skin. Check your skin for calluses, blisters or areas of irritation. Stand next to your shoes. Are they shaped like your feet or are they causing areas of constriction that may result in calluses, blisters or irritation? Put your hand inside your shoe. Are there seams, tacks or rough places in the shoe that correspond to the areas of irritation, calluses or blisters on your feet?

The following items may result in burns and you should NOT be using:
A. Hot tap water or super-heated water from the "Insta hot" faucet used on towels which are wrapped in additional layers of towels, chucks, or blankets.

B. Towels, rice packs or anything else heated in the microwave that is intended for food (temperature limit is not controlled; it’s also a fire risk).

C. A disposable latex glove filled with hot tap water. Even if mixed with cold tap water, the glove can burst and spill on the patient causing a burn.

7. If you have diabetes, keep educated about proper foot care and check your feet daily.
You should have an annual foot examination by a podiatrist or other health care professional.

The knee is a very complex joint, and most of us will experience some kind of knee pain. If you pay special attention to strengthening your core muscles, watching your weight and taking care of your feet, you may be able to ease that pain. Click the title for a link to a helpful article

Your feet are your foundation. When our feet travel straight ahead, the knee joints and hip joints work properly. The problem is that most of us are like cars that are out of alignment. If the foot twists outward or inward as we walk, it pulls our knees, hips and back joints out of alignment. Getting the right shoes and the right support can go a long way toward protecting your knees.
