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.

They sure do. It is removeable so you can also wear it with other shorts. I've found that the liner is the most important aspect of the shorts as they comfortably fit under most of my hiking shorts (some North Face and Kuhl shorts that I already owned). As such, I can now use those to bike in as well. Hope this helps.

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 use thigh high ones. It is important to pull the sock over frame until you get to the heel. The heel material is noticeable so you can see it and stop after it is pulled to top. I found if I put my foot into the sock at that time then I had enough toe room. The form cannot be pulled all the way up the leg but having help on the lower part of leg made all the difference in getting socks on.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

They were a gift for my son who lives where it doesn't get terribly cold. I wear Smartwool socks when hiking, and in cold weather (colder than 30 degrees) I wear them with thinsulate lined boots.

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.

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.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

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.

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

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 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 haven't used wool socks, but the thermal ones worked well on a daily basis. Hope this helps u!

I did not wear mine yet, but according to Sloggers own website and QVC's website, you just hose them off with a hose when they get dirty. They are very comfortable, and they say you can wear them with or without socks, but I will use mine mainly for gardening.

I would return them and.let both amazon and underarmor know about it. I was not impressed with these socks either. The listing originally said they were seamless at the toe. Untrue.
