>They're plain better for your toes. Toes want to spread out and be free. Having your toes cramped together by a sleeve all day will fundamentally change the way the foot is shaped and how you walk. This guy better walk barefoot, as shoes are way more restrictive in how your toes can move. In fact, I just checked and my socks stretch another 2-3 cm with very little resistance, should my toes "want to spread and be free". >You have better balance. The more surface area your foot has, the better your stability. And even inside a pair of regular gym shoes, with my toe socks on I find I am more firmly planted on the ground. As per above, this doesn't make any sense. >Inexplicably, they don't slide down. Regular socks slowly work themselves down into your shoe over a day (depending on the build quality), but toe socks break sock physics and just...don't. I only ever had this problem in wildly oversized felt boots, never in any pair of shoes of my size. >You don't get blisters between your toes. If you are a distance runner or hiker, you'll know how annoying those specific blisters are. This is due to toe-on-toe friction. Since this is now sock-on-sock friction, your toes remain unharmed. Never heard about between-toe blisters, asked a few people and neither have they. I have a pair of toe socks and I hate the feeling of pressure and intrusion between toes, so I only ever wear them if I've somehow wildly stuffed up my laundry cadence.
