I didn’t want to, but laundry schedules conflicted with work. I had to wear my black Classics without socks. It was more than a little embarrassing. Probably no other style or color faces this issue, but my black Classics with jeans look like toed ballet slippers. I’m just not okay with that.
The owner of our agency (he is also my boss) has been fairly open minded up to this point. He’s a vegetarian and quasi health conscious individual. When he saw my feet in the breakroom, he told me they really looked like socks. He did NOT like the appearance of my foot’s skin showing. Understandable. Honestly, as long as they don’t look like ballet slippers, he can dislike them all he wants.
By the end of the day, my feet felt pretty sweaty. I like the moisture absorption I get with Injinji toed socks. Even if my feet sweat, I don’t feel that slightly squishy feeling down in each toe chamber like I did yesterday.
That’s my two cents. Sorry I haven’t updated each day. I run several blogs (including one on the Dallas Cowboys) and it’s easy to get sidetracked.

I ran this morning for 3.1 miles with a pair of Injinji socks. I admit it felt like I had stuffed tissue paper between my toes before and after the run, but during the run, it was not noticeable at all. I did like the way everything was just a bit drier than usual. :)
What kind of shoes are you running in?
For now, low-end Asics I picked up at Academy Sports. I haven’t looked into purchasing any new ones though it is most likely past time I replaced them. I’ve had them a year now.
Have you thought about trying some FiveFingers?
I have… at this point, the pricepoint is the only deal breaker for me.. my Asics were only $40 and the VFF are usually around double that… when I could consider buying two more pairs of the Asics for that price, it’s hard to do (especially considering the “learning curve” to get used to the VFF and I have a marathon in just a few months; I just don’t have time until January or so to seriously consider them).
What kind of shoes are you running in?
You made me think of a question that has slipped my mind until now. How is the sweat like in these shoes? I figure i can sprinkle in some baby powder. Do the toes get a little gross mid day? whats the feeling like when you feet do sweat and you sock less?
I found the New balance mt100 for 56$ Check that shoe out if your looking for a replacement.
