How much bulk will these add under regular socks? I'm concerned about some of my tighter fitting boots.

I am returning my product. The aluminum flexs fall off and I don't want them getting on my skin or in my mouth when opening a water bottle with the gloves. Also, one glove developed a hole immediately

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.

They are extremely thin, so I think they would be perfect for tighter fitting shoes.

Very little bulk added. They are very thin, insulation comes from the silver threading. Good luck, I love my sock and glove liners.

Not bulky at all but DOES NOT keep your feet warm AT ALL; I will NOT recommend this product to give feet extra protection from cold temperatures.

No, they are thicker for a boot. My sons are both in the military and wear then under their combat boots, they love them and say they are very comfortable.

The guys in my office tried on the cleats with their boots which ranged in sizes 10 1/2 - 13 and each one was a perfect fit. So I'm gathering that a less bulkier shoe should be no problem. Hope this helps.

Most likely yes. My son who has a size 11 workboot had to cut them quite a bit for them to fit. It would be ok if they don't fit exactly. I would just center them and they should be fine. They aren't so thick that you're going to feel any difference or uneven feeling:). They work great, my two sons who work for the highway department in town here said they're great. One got his boots very wet and they dried smelling like mildew. He sprayed Lysol in them and then let them dry. He put the liners in and they fixed the odor problem. Saved him from buying new boots! Good luck:)

No. I do not notice much difference in bulk. I wear low tops and they fit with just a little more lace opening.

Start by fitting the rubber grip over the toe portion of your boots.Pull hard to stretch the rubber beyond the heel of the boots and pull up over the heel. They wont break when you stretch them and the stretch will insure a tight fit.

It should. These are "bulky", too much for regular shoes. You should be right on with boots.

I'm not certain how big my calves are, but about half the boots that I try on are too tight around my calf (probably a sign they are a bit larger). These socks are obviously going to be tight and can be tough to get on, but I am able to wear them and they not feel too tight.

The boots I stretched were women's ankle boots and it was hard getting the stretchers all the way into the boots. If yours are suede I don't recommend using the little black nobs....they left little bumps in mine....not happy with that, but not as noticeable as time goes on. Yes, it did stretch my boots somewhat. I should do it once more for a bit more room at the toe section.

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.

Mine do. I even had room to put in an extra-support-y arch insole. I've worn them with some pretty chunky wool socks and had no problems.

They are pretty roomy, but I don't have a particularly wide foot either. I think it might depend on the thickness of sock you wear. I can wear pretty thick socks with mine. Right now I am wearing normal winter socks (not hiking, but not trouser or athletic socks) and they fit well. Good Luck!

It would be hard to answer this question because I have only used them for my work boots. They have made a difference for me as far as confort goes.

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.

I have only worn these by themselves, but they don't seem at all bulky. Depending on the socks you put over them, they should be okay.

How tall are you? Depends if you blouse them using blousing cords or tuck them in your boots with or without the velcro tape to hold them in place. If you tuck them in than yeah they should be fine cause they wont pop out of your boots even if you have that velcro blouse thing. I stopped doing that a long time ago. I would not recommend that for myself because the Long versions really are long. Stick with the Medium regulars.

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.
