I have worn injinji merino wool liner and medium crew toesocks daily for about a decade now and phased out most of my other socks. I buy 8pr at a time, so I can wash weekly. They last a very long time with daily use, about 4-5yrs and some of my old ones from 9-10yrs ago are still going, although they've been relegated to backyard socks now. The new ones are for daily use at work. I love them because they keep my feet snug and warm in cold weather, cool and dry in warm weather, free from tinea and they are quite low odour when washed daily, and just go in with everything else on a normal daily wash requiring no special care. They also give me excellent protection from blisters as my skin is quite thin and sensitive. According to my podiatrist, I have very young looking feet for a middle aged woman and even nicer than some younger ladies, and I think it's due to the natural merino wool toesocks. I don't buy other socks often anymore, unless they're a novelty for costumes or events. Injinji merino wool liner toesocks are my standard every day wear socks. I wish these merino wool liner toe socks came in white, black, navy, beige, buff, unform colours and other novelty colours too, and in no show, mid length, long length and full leg compression tights of different weights, and sheer tights with reinforced toesocks. In particular, I think dancers could really benefit from buff and various other skin tone no show socks to wear in dance shoes that are often unforgiving to thin skin. I love these socks!!!
