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 would definitely not wear these in hiking boots. Your feet will sweat like you can't imagine then they will chill. I've worn neoprene gloves to work in very cold climates and the only time I didn't regret my decision was when I had to get my hands wet. The sweat ends up chilling my hands and the cold plus the chill makes things worse. Wicking liners and really nice thick wool based socks work best. I've augemented this with small heat packs and have been quite happy in -30F temps. I know they also make battery heated socks that work well.

If you are asking about the liners, YES definitly. I wear them under my hiking socks during hiking, under regular socks or even alone as dress socks. They are AWESOME!

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

I tried wearing mine under my dress socks. Problem was the front kept rolling up under my foot making it uncomfortable to wear. I haven't tried them over the sock. I imagine they would still roll up when placing foot in shoes.

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.

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 am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

Well technically you shouldn't have to because they're long underwear. It seems like they're also designed to be worn next to the skin because the seems and elastic waste band are soft. Honestly, I don't wear underwear underneath these and it's very comfortable. Also, you should consider that the wool fibers are anti microbial and therefore do not retain your body oders like cotton underwear. So it that case, wearing underwear underneath, especially cotton, would be pointless. I would however wear lightweight merino wool boxer breifs under these while backpacking.

You might be better off going with a lighter cooler sock for summer, but a lot depends on how much your feet sweat. Everyone is different and sometimes these socks are perfect for summer hiking for some. Hope that helps!

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 think they are just at the level of my crossfit shoes. They don't stick up or look weird, but they are not so low that you look like you don't have socks on at all. these are my favorite socks.

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 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.

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.

Comfort-wise, they are very thin and lightweight. They wick away sweat very well but being so thin they may not have enough cushioning to be on your feet all day. They are extremely well made and will last a long time but I'm not absolutely sure they will suit your needs. I could recommend Under Armour or even Timberland socks that wick away sweat and provide a lot more thickness, so those might be more suitable for what you are looking for. :)
