Has anyone ever used these with minimalist running shoes? I'm worried they might be a little too big and bulky.

Not with minimalist shoes, but I've found mine irritating to run long distances with normal running shoes. They are great for hiking on uneven ground, softball and pickup basketball.

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!

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.

No. Maybe like wearing and extra pair of socks. I wear the same basketball shoe size with and without. Not very bulky.

. The wrap shouldn't be a problem as you run. I fits as tight as you want it to but I don't even feel mine after I have my shoes on.

Use the smaller ones, these are really big. Honestly haven't tried either size for shoes though.

I have not jogged with these but maybe I can give some insight. While they fit fairly tight on my head, they are a bit more heavy and I would suspect they could fall off while jogging. The cord is very long and could get in the way. They are normally quarter-inch and come with a big bulky adapter to 3/4 inch which I wouldn't find practical for jogging.

They look far too bulky to stay on while running. Not to mention how they would get sweat all over. I'm in the market for something to wear on the treadmill as well, but not having great luck.

I was wearing them on Brooks Cascadias so yes they will most definitely for on running shoes. They would also fit on some of the lighter weight hikers like possibly Keen or Merrells

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.

I use them in my Nike walking shoes that I wear for work and have no problem fitting them into the shoes. I don't use them for regular shoes.

I wear size 14 shoes and the running shoes I use to ride my Lifecycle are big and bulky. Should be no problem. You need to check what you are purchasing. I thought I was buying the straps only. Unfortunately, it was a replacement pedal and strap. I took the strap off the pedal and they work great. Hope this helps.

Not too sure about this. They provide good traction, but maybe too good for running. Because they dig in so much, you really have to concentrate on picking your feet up. I would consult with a running expert.

Wont be an issue. I ride with my running shoes sometimes if I have to run a quick errand and it works fine.

My experience is only in home use. They are quite bulky to wear with shoes. Just put them on, put your feet up, and relax.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

The device is not bulky, I´ve played soccer with them for about 90 minutes without problems; just have to check the laces aren't too tight, as I play soccer I have time to readjust. I don't know how many time you'll require wear those in the marathon.

I would say yes but I have never tried running shoes. I put on over snow boots, an Uggs style boot. Running shoes should be easy in comparison.
