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.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

We love these, and it's nice that they break down, however, I'm not so sure you could fit them in a backpack too well? My husband and I hike, day trips, and we have "normal" size back pack, and they would NOT fit in there so we could close them. They would tuck in the side no problem but we'd have to leave the pack top open. Hope that helps?

Sorry I don't know. But if you've got something that works purchase another of that one and use it for traveling. The devil you know concept. About the other answer, I found that if you put the open end of the hoisery to the very end of the opening and bunch the excess up by the top and pull even long(er) socks slip on with very little manual help.

These socks can be worn with anything however, they are NOT diabetic socks like they are advertised. All the pairs of socks I bought are all falling apart because I had to use some scissors and make slices on the top of the socks because they were too tight on my upper ankles and they were hurting and cutting off my blood circulation. If you are going to buy these socks, buy them for regular socks but NOT for diabetic socks or you will be disappointed such as I was.

They are cushioned, so they do provide a bit of insulation. I'm in AZ, and it's just now starting to dip into the 30's in the evening they do keep my feet pretty warm, but not as well as the full cushioned hiking socks Darn Tough also sells, if you're in an area with snow, you'll probably want the full cushion.

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

Depends on boots, if good boots and enough room a thinner inner pair covered by hiking socks will keep your feet warmer

I have only worn these by themselves, but they don't seem at all bulky. Depending on the socks you put over them, they should be okay.

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!

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 do not know about the ultra lights; however, the Darn Tough quarter hiking socks are at least twice as thick on the bottom as a crew sock. This provides a nice layer of "padding" while walking or hiking.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

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.

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.

I wouldn't consider the socks as thin. I use them for volleyball and love them. They do have some cushioning. They work perfectly for volleyball and are currently my favorite socks. I don't, however, know about their use as softball socks.
