Got a pair of Injinji and tested them with the huaraches at -2C. I am amazed.
The socks are the Tetrasock Mini-Crew:

And the huaraches are the 6mm Contact.
My feet were already warm after a 5 mi recovery pace run in my normal trainers. The dust roads are covered with slippery compacted snow and the snow on the ground varies from an inch to 2-3 inches (on the grass parts).
I did simply not expect such an impressive behaviour; The combination of my feet being able to expand naturally and provide a wider support surface for my weight and the rubber of the soles made it easy to move on the very same roads where just some minutes before I had to run with minute care not to slip and fall.
The socks were more than enough for -2C and I would dare
to say that I would be able to use them at -5 / -8 C. At least after a
good warm up.
I even discovered a brand new type of running surface!!! Frozen Cow Dung !!! (yeah we have massive cows grazing freely in our woods, lol).
I love these beasts and I consider it a privilege to run surrounded by huge highlanders… and well, the dung makes up for an interesting workout forcing you to keep your focus on the ground.
