[pct-l] Injinji Toesocks - Friend or Foe?

[Tortoise]

We've had similar discussions before. But the first question I have is are 
your shoes wide enough thru the ball of your feet and especially the toes. 
 From what I've seen, most shoes and boots have a shape that squeezes the 
toes together to fit the shoe rather than having a shoe wide enough for the 
toes.

Like some others, I buy shoes that are longer and wider (especially in the 
toes) so my toes can be close to their natural position. I buy what fits 
me, not what the shoe store recommends.

Fortunately also my feet get few blisters. Last couple I've had is when my 
toes got squeezed together and rubbed a blister.

Due to embedded dust, I end up getting blisters between my toes.  Then there's no room for moleskin or blister bandages.  However, my feet have a high tendency to get blisters, so they might work for you.
