Testimonial/Experience with the tetratsok?

For years, my second toes and my big toes have just not gotten along. While running they seem to fight and I end up with blisters and calluses. Since the first time I put on Injinji socks, there has been peace between my toes. I no longer experience blisters or calluses and maybe more importantly, I feel that my feet work more effectively while running. I have a greater push off and my feet are stronger.
