After nearly three decades reinventing how runners and hikers think about socks, Injinji has returned with an upgraded take on a staple in their lineup, the Compression Series.

The new Compression OTC (Over the Calf) toesock builds on the brand’s trademark five-toe design but this time with extra focus on circulation, fatigue reduction, and recovery, whether you’re logging miles, standing for hours, or hopping a long-haul flight.

Designed for athletes and anyone on their feet all day

At first glance, the Compression OTC toesock will look familiar if you know Injinji.

The individual toe sleeves, the breathable mesh paneling, the anatomical left-right shaping. But the upgrades here are significant.

The sock delivers graduated compression (15–20 mmHg) running from the ankle to just below the knee. That targeted pressure is designed to promote healthy circulation, reduce swelling, and ease muscle fatigue.

This is a combination that can be as useful after a marathon as it is after a day spent working on your feet.

A new Grounded Polyester footbed adds slip-resistance inside your shoe, helping to stabilize your footstrike and reduce friction. And in classic Injinji fashion, each toe has its own sleeve, reducing skin-on-skin contact to help prevent blisters.

Performance meets comfort

Claire Kooperman, Injinji’s Director of Ecommerce and Operations, said the new release represents both evolution and commitment.

It’s a series and style that answers the needs of the Injinji community and surpasses previous iterations. We look forward to our continued progression and growth, and creating gear that encourages people to get outside, move with confidence, and be free to explore.

Beyond the compression benefits, the sock retains the core features Injinji fans have come to expect:

  • Blister prevention thanks to the five-toe separation
  • Moisture management that keeps feet dry through long training sessions
  • Total foot utilization that encourages natural toe splay and improved biomechanics
  • Mesh top panels for ventilation

The new over the calf compression sock is priced at $35 and available for purchase at injinji.com today.

If you’re an ultrarunner, frequent traveler, or just someone who knows how tired legs can feel after a full day in motion, the Compression OTC toesock is built to keep your feet and legs feeling fresher, for longer.

And if you’ve never tried Injinji’s patented five-toe fit before, this is a good place to start.
