I wear a size 8.5 women's running shoe - need these for running. Would the small be too large? Too thick to get a running shoe on over it? Thanks!

Not too thick. Very comfortable. Nice in colder weather. No regrets for me.

women's shoe size is a little more than one half size smaller than a man's size. I believe that the Men's small will fit a woman's medium. The socks are about twice the thickness of cushion sole socks like Jocky Crew Socks. I believe that if your running shoe is a tight fit then the socks will probably make them uncomfortably tight. I found out this when I stuffed my feet into my Nike Lunerlon shoes. But the socks quickly adapted and in less than two minutes the shoes were comfortable again. I think that the small men's should be adaptable to your running shoes.

you can be confident that the sizing chart will provide a good fit I wear mine under my running shoes and all you need to do is loosen the laces a little once you adjust they do not feel too bulky

Hello there, I haven't used a minimalist running shoe. However, I use the Nike Free 5.0 and it is a bit bulky, but not a deal breaker. It takes time to break in so it'll be somewhat of a pain in the early stages. My suggestion would be to break it in, wear it as much as you can before using it in the running shoe you plan on wearing. Wear it in the office, around the house, shopping etc. and it should be good to go. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I bought them according to women sizes. But they are by far the best winter running socks I have ever bought!

In my opinion these would not work without a bra bc they are slightly thick/heavy. You need a bra to hold them in place.

I am a women's size 7.5 dress shoe and 8-8.5 running shoe, and have a narrow foot (but, not super narrow)...I wear the D's....My recommendation would be if you are a 8-8.5 dress shoe, but, size up for athletic shoes and/or have a medium to wide foot, go for the E's.

I will say yes. I recommend getting it to fit like a under Armour shirt. Which they are designed to fit that way. I think it would work fine. As long as you have a shirt over it. This will help hold it in place better when running.

As a guy I just use my shoe size as a guide and there is never a problem. For women, I do not know. If you have a narrow foot or heel, maybe you could purchase a thin scuba boot to take up the extra space.

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

Not very good for running. They will slip off easily and will be a little heavy. I wouldn't recommend it

No i think they will not be very comfortable while running. The other thing is that they are very tight on the knee top and create some discomfort. So what i will recommend is that try elastic one the reason i purchased these one was i thought they will be very good in support but turn out that they are good at supporting your knee but they have other problems as mentioned above. I hope this helps.

Unless you have very small feet most women would take a medium. I wear a size 8-9 running shoe and a medium feet good. I you wear a size 5 or 6 you may need the small. Like the socks too!

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

The shoe itself will not help. If you buy one half size larger than normal and insert a supportive orthotic device I think it will. The shoe itself is rather lightweight and made of fabric which is somewhat stiffer than you expect in a running shoe. My expensive running shoes are "softer" and more flexible to the touch while providing great cushening and shock absorption. Personally, I feel running shoes are so critical, you should buy the best (ie: expensive) you can afford. But, that being said, these will probably work just fine with an insert.

I am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

I am not a runner so I don't know if they would maintain placement while running. I wear them with a bra and they stay put during a normal day of walking, bending, reaching and sitting. Sorry

I think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

Probably not. They are designed for a running shoe. I purchased them with my Salomon winter runners (as shown). The rubber fits under and it's pretty snug to fit around the shoe. It works great for these shoes even in deep snow!
