Does this add lot of thickness in a shoe (with socks)?
183914
A bit, ya. I just tie the laces a little looser and it's fine. I also wear wide shoes, so the impact is less noticeable. If your shoe is very narrow at the opening, it could be weird. Shouldn't be a problem though.
183915
No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.
183916
Yes these will add a decent amount of thickness and if you wear high tops with them you may have issues lacing them up to the top.
183917
No. Maybe like wearing and extra pair of socks. I wear the same basketball shoe size with and without. Not very bulky.
183918
No. I do not notice much difference in bulk. I wear low tops and they fit with just a little more lace opening.

Very little bulk added. They are very thin, insulation comes from the silver threading. Good luck, I love my sock and glove liners.

I can't really say. The sock has to stretch enough to put over the inner frame of the stocking donner. I can't imagine any benefit to putting on regular socks this way unless they are really tight. The sock would definitely have to stretch some -- a good bit -- to even try it. Hope that helps. See, you still have to reach almost down to the ankle when you begin putting it on... so if someone has difficulty with that (even while seated) it may not help much. I do think it has a purpose... but I'm not sure that would be it. I found out after ordering that the local medi-supply place here carries them... maybe you can view one in person first. Good luck.

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt your feet to use the inserts without wearing socks, but I would recommend against it. The cloth surfacing of the insert is slick when inserting a socked foot, but it is considerably less slick when inserting a bare foot. The slickness prevents the insert from becoming bunched up, and the sock absorbs some of the foot wetness and protects the insert giving it a longer life.

No, not bulky but it is thicker than cotton if thats what you're used to. Comfortable socks.

These socks are a bit thicker - though not by much - than a wool dress sock. Compared with the prevailing brand of support socks, they are thicker and warmer. To me they actually look much nicer that the average dress socks provided you buy a relatively conservative design.

I have found it very helpful with some shoes, but not all. Heel height doesn't matter, it's mostly the cut and width of the shoe. It is definitely an item to have and it does make wearing some shoes easier.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

it's a sock all around if a hole could get through these over time you're good its no way because they're really thick. hope this was helpful.

Not if they are really thick as you have to use it over and over and over, I had a pedicure where they remove calluses and now am using Pretty Feet where the calluses were so they don't build up again. Hope this helps.

I believe you mean 1.75" THICK, and NO it will NOT fit. And I don't understand why some customers claim it only holds 15 pairs of shoes; it holds A LOT more than that but this shoe holder makes it REALLY HARD to close my closet door completely.
2138316
Yes, but they are quite thick so you'll need to buy larger shoes than you otherwise would.

From my experience, its goes are far as your big toe does only but when I was using this I did ride with very lightweight sneakers. If your shoes are thick, have toe protections, etc the dimension changes.

Not to be evasive, but there are different thicknesses of men's dress socks. I would not say that these socks are "thin," like a formal over-the-calf dress sock, but they are about the same thickness as a Gold Toe brand "fluffy" sock that my husband wears often. Those "fluffies" socks are mid calf socks, very soft. If you can find these Gold Toe socks in a store near you, that will help you understand the thickness of the Underarmour Heatgear socks. They are definitely a more casual sock. Hope this helps a bit.

It might lift your foot up a little. The instructions say to remove the liner in your shoe and replace it with the Scholl's. My guess is the Scholl's is maybe twice the thickness of your original liner........Good luck PS..... if they don't fit in your dress shoes then put them in the shoes you wear most often after that.

No! You have the option of stretching the shoe in length or width. I used the shoe stretcher to stretch out a very narrow shoe.
