Can these socks be worn over regular socks? If so, how has that affected the performance of the socks?

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

Yes. I wear them over my socks, although the bands may be too large for very young children's feet (they're elastic but not adjustable).

I haven't had that problem because I always wear socks and don't get mud over the sides if I can help it. So far, I haven't had mud or water spill over. If I think that might happen, I wear another type of boot or I can avoid the problems areas in the fields. I would think these are just for casual yard wear...something that you don't get your regular shoes wet.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

Hello, Yes, I wear them for daily wear as well as running. My impression is that my feet stay a little more dray and warm than in regular wool socks. The only downside is that they are low so your ankles will show if your pants aren't long enough.

I've never used Injinji liner socks but these socks sold here are pretty thin. If you're planning to wear 2 pairs of toes socks it might be tight on your toes and might be an issue if you have the Vibram shoes. Depending on the type their might not be enough room for toes in the Vibram shoes with 2 pairs of regular socks. But that being said if you wanted to wear these under non-toe socks and regular type boots then yes it should be fine.

They are thinner than regular socks so I would say no. They are not real rough.

I wear them over my dry suit socks.They work OK for that, water gets trapped in them because of the soles. This I only notice when walking out of the water.

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

Yes you can use them for other things but they are thicker than regular socks.

See injinji FAQ website injinji dot com /about-us / Q: What's the difference between the Original and Midweight styles? A: The Performance Original weight sock is not too thin, not too thick. It provides a moderate interface for everyday use in any shoe, climate, or terrain. It's a great go-to sock for sport and casual use. The Performance Midweight sock provides additional padding from the heel to the toes. It features a honeycomb design on top of the foot for added breathability and a light compression for proper fit. If you have sensitive feet and prefer more sock protection you'd like the Midweight. The Midweight is great for cooler temperatures as well.

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

Here at Atlas Biomechanics we recommend that these can be worn under socks with or with out shoes. Most people wear them all day with their shoes. We sell to hundreds of Podiatrists and they also recommend under socks and worn all day. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,TeriAtlas Biomechanics

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.
