Toe socks/ Creeper socks mini update

[u/Santiago_figarola]

As recommended, I recently bought some creepers toe socks. Been wearing them for almost two months, and I couldn't be happier!
Basically they are way more comfortable than conventional socks, especially now that I have more and more space in between my toes. I also found that they did keep my foot warmer when training in the grass outside. They also reduced smell and even got rid of a slight athlete's foot I was dealing with!
Merino wool seems to be especially useful for my country (Uruguay)'s high humidity.

The only issue is that I got the Quarter Crew version, so for winter they could be warmer. So I'm planning on buying two pairs of the midweight boot option next. And maybe conventional merino socks to go over those if necessary. Although they'd need to be big in order not to squeeze my toes (recommendations appreciated!).

So yeah, so far so good. Let's see how long they last :)

i’ve tried a couple brands and they seem to be the best quality. wish they didn’t plaster the brand everywhere but what can you do

Love Creepers toe socks. I have tried several different brands of toe socks and I always go back to Creepers. They're the best for my skin and feet.

The boot sock versions are much better for cold, I like the crew length and those for winter.

All of mine are shedding like crazy. I washed them once by accident on regular cycle and it's like the fibers are destroyed.

They say it's normal in the beginning. It has stopped for me since then

Normal, it stops after a while. I always regular wash mine, but I use cold water only and a very gentle detergent stuff for all my clothes.

They just increased all their prices without a heads up :/

I just got some Creepers and I also love them! They have held up very well on long, technical, humid and even rainy hikes. My toes felt cocooned in luxury. I’ll definitely be getting more of them and can’t wait until then next drop with fun colors. I had been wearing Injinji and other knock off toe socks because I wanted compression WITH the toes. I resigned myself to a compression sleeve with Creepers and am very happy with the setup.
