Injinji is expanding its popular Trail series this fall with the release of the Trail Midweight Over the Calf (OTC) toe sock, offering full lower-leg coverage for those who prefer high protection without compromising breathability, comfort, or performance.
Launching today (September 23), this new sock is designed with ultrarunners, weekend warriors, and backcountry hikers in mind, especially those tackling technical trails where grit, brush, debris, and ticks become potential companions.
Designed for the trails
The Trail Midweight OTC takes everything runners already love about Injinji’s Trail line, sweat-wicking performance, anti-blister toe separation, and strategic cushioning, and builds on it with added height and over-the-calf protection.
It’s crafted using COOLMAX® EcoMade fibers, which are made from recycled materials, and designed to wick moisture efficiently while keeping your feet cool and dry.
Breathable mesh zones provide ventilation, while the anatomical toe sleeves reduce skin-on-skin friction, which is one of the leading causes of blisters during long efforts.
The midweight cushioning is ideal for longer runs and hikes where comfort and durability matter most.
And the over-the-calf design helps seal out things like small stones, dirt, thorns, ticks, and other trail debris, all without needing gaiters or extra layers.
Two unisex colorways, built for the wild
The new OTC Trail socks will be available in two unisex colorways:
- Granite – a minimalist dark grey
- Storm – a bolder dark grey with contrast blocking
Both versions maintain a clean aesthetic, suitable for both racing and everyday trail use.
Trail-ready and winter-ready
With fall trail season here and winter just around the corner, these new socks offer a smart upgrade for anyone looking to dial in their gear for cold, or debris-prone runs.
The extended height also adds extra warmth when temperatures dip, making them well suited for alpine runs and late-season ultras.
Where to buy
The Injinji Trail Midweight OTC toesock officially launches on September 23 at injinji.com and will be available at select retailers later this fall. MSRP is expected to align with their other Trail series offerings.
