Among the 94% of WS100 participants who completed the survey, a notable 31.5% of finishers (and 30.0% of sub-24 hours finishers) wore Injinji.
Interestingly enough, reaffirming the leaning toward Injinji by those who specified a brand, the ‘others’ category in the survey arrived at the next largest percentage in the sock category. Here, others comprised 25.2% of all finishers and 28.9% of sub-24 hour finishers.
