I remember the brightly striped toe socks my teenage sister wore with her Dr. Scholls sandals in the 70’s. Then they re-emerged in the 90’s as an  adolescent fashion trend that quickly faded. Recently, however, toe socks are getting attention again not only for a way to add fun to your wardrobe, but for better foot health! Toe socks advocates claim that they are healthier than conventional socks for the proper balance, grip, and support your feet need. Toe socks are compared to gloves for the feet. Because the toes are separated, they give the feet and toes greater dexterity to provide optimal muscular form and function. In fact, the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) has given their seal of acceptance to toe socks made by injinji and Wigwam. Toe socks might be around for awhile now that evidence has shown them to have health benefits. For those looking for performance socks, try a pair to see how your physical activities improve. Or just go and splurge on some funky wardrobe fashion and be confident your purchase will be healthy for your feet too!
