in Injinji Performance Toesocks™
To say Marshall Ulrich is an athlete is an understatement. The world-class ultrarunner, Seven Summits mountaineer and record-setting adventure racer just completed his most grueling feat (even tougher than Everest) of running across the United States in just over 52 days.
The 3,063-mile run from San Francisco to New York City had Ulrich pounding the pavement an average of 58 miles – more than two marathons – per day, smashing records for his age group.
The socks that helped save his feet during his run? Patented Injinji Performance Toesocks™.
“During my record-setting Run Across America, Injinji Performance Toesocks provided me with blister protection where other socks failed,” Ulrich said. “Their comfort and function are unparalleled, and they are my sock of choice for competitive events and extreme conditions.”
Injinji socks have been Ulrich’s pick since he first tried them during the Badwater Ultramarathon, the self-proclaimed “world’s toughest foot race,” in 2003. After the first 40 miles, he took his shoes off for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to not see a single blister. He scratched his head and told his crew, “Wow, imagine that, something that actually works!” Now, Injinji are about the only socks he’ll wear, whether running, climbing mountains, or just kicking back.
Recently given the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association, the seamless five-toe-sleeved Injinji Performance Series toesocks combine the comfort and dexterity of being barefoot with the protection and moisture management capabilities only a sock can provide. The choice interface for amateur and professional athletes worldwide, the toesocks eliminate friction between the toes, thus preventing blisters, hot spots and other common foot ailments.
