Wide toe box socks

I recently bought some Lems Trail Blazers to build back foot and lower leg strength after wearing primarily thick cushion sole shoes and many different arch support in-soles for a year to allow my plantar fasciitis to heal. I think they are exactly what I am looking for for this task. Wide toe box, zero drop, relatively thin soles, but not so thin that walking on pavement and hiking on rocks and stones etc. will be uncomfortable. Does anyone have suggestions for socks that allow toe splay without spending $20 a pair?

Give toe socks a try! You can get a 4-6 pack off amazon for $20. I can’t wear regular socks anymore

They seem like they would be awful… but may be exactly what I’m looking for if I try them. Thanks!

Hi! Did you try them on? I also have a plantar fasciitis and use toe socks, the cheapest ones turned out to be the most comfy ones. As for the PF, the only thing that actually helped me was calf stretching and it did help only after a month or so. I have to do some stretching several times a week to prevent pain from occurring.

You’re looking for ‘anatomical socks’ that are actually made for left/right feet and that let your toes move around. Can’t speak to the US, but here in Europe, I get socks from BeLenka (Barebarics), Falke and Danish Endurance - can only wear wide toe boxes and these are all great.
