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, the socks are suited for hiking in the summer. They are a natural fiber and keep moisture away from the skin. My favorite brand of hiking socks are "Fits."

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.

Nothing really, except alignment socks will "crush" after a while and loose their effectiveness. But they may be a little more comfortable due to the coziness factor if you like socks on your feet. Separaters will retain their form.

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?

I personally could not wear these rain boots all day, especially on a trip where you are constantly walking, because they do not have enough arch support for me; I have a high arch. Also, something to think about if you are going when it is cold, is that I can only wear thin socks in my boots. I would recommend getting them and trying them around the house well in advance of your trip if you don't need much arch support. Have fun!

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!

Here at Atlas Biomechanics we recommend that these can be worn under socks with or with out shoes. Most people wear them all day with their shoes. We sell to hundreds of Podiatrists and they also recommend under socks and worn all day. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,TeriAtlas Biomechanics

No need to cut. These types of socks are available without the foot part. Also the foot part is not necessary, but then what would you wear inside your shoe or sneaker? Barefoot would smell up your footwear.

Yes I wear mine under my socks. I find it hard to put it on over socks. It has really helped the swelling i get on the outside of my ankle. I hope this helps.

i wear the merino wool, ones year around and i love them . i personally don't like the lighter ones, but my daughter loves them , i do not think the lighter ones has enough padding . i would try both and decide from there. the socks last forever.

The ones I bought had only one pair in each pack. However, I know there are options for multiple-count packs. Don't let the price dissuade you. They are worth every penny. They are more expensive than most other socks, but they last WAY longer, and are so much more comfortable.

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.

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

Hiked in Utah when temp was around 80...my feet did not sweat. Love these socks! Took quite a long hike: no blisters!!!

I believe you fins might be a little too small if they reach the opening, but I would have to say yes. The material of the sock is very thick to prevent this from happening.
