With each toe protected, skin-on-skin friction is completely eliminated protecting your foot from blisters and hot spots. Provides maximum breathability and ventilation on the top of foot. Extra cushioning throughout the toes with mid-weight terry, and extra cushioning on the foot bed. Each toe is wrapped in sweat-wicking material so your foot will be drier and therfore more comfortable than in traditional socks. When your toes are separated and aligned correctly, this allows your entire foot to be engaged in athletic activity.
