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.

Hello, These socks are WARM, and thought I love them for fall and winter, my feet do get rather toasty in them. I'm thinking these may not be the socks for you; the dense weave, which makes them super strong, does trap heat. Again, good for winter wear, but if your feet need more breathability in socks, then I don't think I'd go with Darn Toughs.

I would think that if you can share socks now, you'll be able to share these. Just be sure to order the right size for one of you. I wear a woman's 7 or 7-1/2 and my Small is good for me, with perhaps just a tiny bit of extra length in both leg and foot -- just a tiny bit more than absolute ideal. I'm not sure how a man's size 9 translates to a Small in these socks, but anything larger would be too big for me. I hope this helps!

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 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 must be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have the problem of disappearing socks. I really like and recommend these socks and would buy replacements but I think Amazon offers packs of single colors. That may solve your concern.

These socks can be worn with anything however, they are NOT diabetic socks like they are advertised. All the pairs of socks I bought are all falling apart because I had to use some scissors and make slices on the top of the socks because they were too tight on my upper ankles and they were hurting and cutting off my blood circulation. If you are going to buy these socks, buy them for regular socks but NOT for diabetic socks or you will be disappointed such as I was.

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

Every one of the black socks I purchased developed holes rather quickly. So, in my experience, the only way to avoid holes is simply to not wear the socks! I contacted UnderArmour and reported the poor quality, and they did quickly send me a new pair of a different model of sock, as replacement. You may want to do the same.

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?

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."

Yes, we have small size ninja (tabi) socks in plain black, white and various colors & patterns (http://store.japan-zone.com/tabi-sneaker-socks-p-389.html). Whether they're the right size, I don't know. Also, if they're needed for Halloween, it will be very tight for shipping. We can ship (from Japan) on Monday morning by Express, but can't 100% guarantee delivery by Thursday.

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.

The mid weight is heavier. The progression is light-original-mid. I usually only wear mine while running or working out - usually with vibram 5 fingers shoes. Warmth is not the reason I wear Injinji socks, so I can't give you good feedback regarding their warmth + I live in the South, so their utility in keeping your feet warm is not something I have tested. They might be very useful as liner socks in heavier socks for warmth. As with the comparison of gloves and mittens, mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves, since they keep the digits together. This might also be true, but to a lesser degree for the Injinji socks. They do have more information on their website. http://www.injinji.com/ The mid weight is heavier.

They really do fit like a pair of relatively thick socks, however, it might be a little hard to get the hiking boots on over them.

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.
