I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative to the injinji toe socks for a bigger foot (I can wear the large, but the extra large accommodates my foot more comfortably).  I honestly prefer to wear the VFFs without any socks, but the last couple of weeks the wind chill here has been in the low teens or single digits in the mornings when I go out and walk or jog.  The injinji socks help to keep my feet a tad warmer, but I have been getting hot spots with them.  I haven't developed any blisters yet, but was wondering if another brand might suit me better.  I know Smartwool makes some, but I have read some disparaging reviews on them, so I am hesitant.  Thing is I can't find any other brands that would work for my large foot.  Any input is appreciated, thanks for the help.

I've only used Injinjis so far so I can't give any sort of review on these.

best store for socks hands down.   The Terry Loop Walkers are fantastic.  The cotton golf toe shocks are great too.

Thanks for the links, I ordered a pair from the sock dreams website, if they don't work out, there were a couple of others that might fit my foot, and the toesox brand as well as the ones from Luna sandals to try out.  Hopefully it won't take all that to find a good fit though  Smiley
