Can these be worn under another pair of socks for backpack hiking? The injinji liner socks don't come in no-show, so I'm wondering if these will do.

Yes, they are perfect for under heavier hiking socks. The material is thin but sturdy. Helps prevent blisters between the toes. That is why I use them.

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.

Yes, but definitely better with higher socks. Even with ankle socks it may irritate the back of your foot.

I would not know that since I just wore them under my socks with a shoe. I would think if it fit you snug the way this one did on me it would work.

I tried wearing mine under my dress socks. Problem was the front kept rolling up under my foot making it uncomfortable to wear. I haven't tried them over the sock. I imagine they would still roll up when placing foot in shoes.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

they didnt come with my order so i assume no. I got 9s and usually wear between 8-9 depending on the shoe so they may fit- esp wth thicker socks. if youre consistently a half size, id probably go up a half size instead of down then order the liner or just wear thick socks.

I live in the Baja Mexico, and use them for diving for clams. I don't use socks, and don't see the reason for needing them. Hope this helps. Robert

Well technically you shouldn't have to because they're long underwear. It seems like they're also designed to be worn next to the skin because the seems and elastic waste band are soft. Honestly, I don't wear underwear underneath these and it's very comfortable. Also, you should consider that the wool fibers are anti microbial and therefore do not retain your body oders like cotton underwear. So it that case, wearing underwear underneath, especially cotton, would be pointless. I would however wear lightweight merino wool boxer breifs under these while backpacking.

Yes, we have small size ninja (tabi) socks in plain black, white and various colors & patterns (http://store.japan-zone.com/tabi-sneaker-socks-p-389.html). Whether they're the right size, I don't know. Also, if they're needed for Halloween, it will be very tight for shipping. We can ship (from Japan) on Monday morning by Express, but can't 100% guarantee delivery by Thursday.

I would definitely not wear these in hiking boots. Your feet will sweat like you can't imagine then they will chill. I've worn neoprene gloves to work in very cold climates and the only time I didn't regret my decision was when I had to get my hands wet. The sweat ends up chilling my hands and the cold plus the chill makes things worse. Wicking liners and really nice thick wool based socks work best. I've augemented this with small heat packs and have been quite happy in -30F temps. I know they also make battery heated socks that work well.

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

I haven't used wool socks, but the thermal ones worked well on a daily basis. Hope this helps u!

I have not tried wool socks. Sorry , I can't help out on the subject. But they do keep my feet the warmest of all my winter socks, including ski specific sock that I have.

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

If you are asking about the liners, YES definitly. I wear them under my hiking socks during hiking, under regular socks or even alone as dress socks. They are AWESOME!
