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

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.

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!

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

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

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.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

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 have a size 8 1/2 womens foot and have the medium.I have a bit of room at the top yet. Don't order it too large cause its a bit bulky and might be hard to sleep in. I think a medium is probably going to fit ok. This if very thick padding.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

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 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.

These socks are too thick to wear with shoes....unless maybe they were a pair of slip on shoes. It would be too bulky to pair with tennis shoes, flats, or boots.

I wear a 7, and these are too large when wet. I'm not sure if they would be too large for you. Even large they still work just fine, and give a lot of resistance for water aerobics.

Well if its too wide, you can always cut them down. they are sized to fit most guys regulars shoes, it might be wide enough. I use them in my Asics running shoes

I usually put them over the neoprene booties on my waders. But i have used them just over cotton socks when i don't wanna use the waders . Not the thin kinda dress socks mind you but the kind you would ware with running shoes. Both work fine
