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.

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!

The mid weight is heavier. The progression is light-original-mid. I usually only wear mine while running or working out - usually with vibram 5 fingers shoes. Warmth is not the reason I wear Injinji socks, so I can't give you good feedback regarding their warmth + I live in the South, so their utility in keeping your feet warm is not something I have tested. They might be very useful as liner socks in heavier socks for warmth. As with the comparison of gloves and mittens, mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves, since they keep the digits together. This might also be true, but to a lesser degree for the Injinji socks. They do have more information on their website. http://www.injinji.com/ The mid weight is heavier.

I own three pairs of Injinji socks and although I use them mostly while running, they are great with flop flops, Five Finger shoes (though not if your toes are already a snug fit without socks) and any other athletic shoes. When wearing these socks in regular shoes it feels like your toes have more room to move, giving you better control and balance. They are also really nice in hot weather because your toes will stay drier and you'll be less likely to get blisters in between your toes.

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

These socks would probably not dry quickly after washed by hand because they are thick socks, but I don't know about the travel socks. Your best bet would be the fox river socks similar to these, just not the triathlon socks.

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

With socks, I would always go smaller. Socks too big can cause very uncomfortable gathering under the foot. Injinji socks are very well made and with the smaller size should fit perfectly.

i would have to say yes, they might be as much as 1/8" thick. i have the same issue with my riding boots - they are already kind of snug and the socks make them hard to zip up but they are warm!

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'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.

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

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

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.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

Seriously, I was not truly successful with vibram shoes UNTIL I started wearing socks in them (and I have a variety of Injinji socks depending on the purpose). I don't run but I do hike, including a Grand Canyon South Rim to river and back again in one day, in Vibram shoes. These compression socks are simply stellar. They had enough jam to keep edema from occuring right after a knee replacement and they are fabulous for hiking or even just a day in the office when I know I'll be on my feet a lot. If you're not wearing socks at all under the VFFs now, the difference is amazing. I simply do NOT wear them for any purpose without socks now (and I do wear them many, MANY places including many my wife would prefer I did... not...). I remain convinced that the people who give up on VFFs would not and might make it through the "feet learning to be feet again" phase and become a total convert.
