Several pairs of bloody socks later, I bought a pair of the injinjis just to see if forcing them to separate would help. Definitely helped the nail cuts, but maybe it would help your pain by forcing those toes to spread a bit? Just an idea.
Actually, I have. Infact, I have 3 pairs of them. But after numerous attempts, I find that I cannot wear them anymore. Initially, they feel okay (if not a bit weird), but then after a few hours of wearing them...the material in between each toe pocket starts to irritate the skin between my toes. Especially with running...the forward motion of my feet just seems to jam that material into that space between the toes and almost feels like it's cutting or digging into the skin....OUCH! So now I have 3 pairs of Injinji socks that are sitting at the bottom of my sock drawer.
