Toe socks are extremely beneficial in activating the intrinsic muscles of the foot. By activating these muscles, the joints from the foot up are in more advantageous position while doing activities that require tremendous amounts of force.
"TekkGrip socks plays an integral role in maintaining the strength in your foot by proprioceptively activating the intrinsic muscles. This can ensure that the joint angles throughout the kinetic chain of the lower body are in an advantageous position to perform high intensity activities such as soccer. Personally I enjoy the benefits of TekkGrip socks while strength training. Having the ability to wear these socks while going the vigors of weight training has been extremely beneficial"
