Okay, I broke down and bought a pair of VFF classics, and a pair of injini coolmax socks.
I tried them on and noticed with great dismay that my extremely short toes are hard to get into the glove part.
I mean, my toes are wee. Wee little nubbins.

I thought should I cut the socks and sew them up smaller?
Otherwise there is a LOT of extra fabric bunching up into the long toes of the VFFs, and as that is actually okay (it fills the toe up) it's really hard to get everything lined up in there.

I'll work on it.
Plan on doing a short trail run with them tomorrow...
