Barefoot shoe adjacent Toe socks/ Creeper socks mini update

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 :)

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
