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.

These socks would probably not dry quickly after washed by hand because they are thick socks, but I don't know about the travel socks. Your best bet would be the fox river socks similar to these, just not the triathlon socks.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.

Yes. I had the same question. Under pants no problem. Under a shirt it may get tight depending on the shirt. I actually wear them under my jeans,and hoodies and shirts. They are quite a solid product in terms of fit. The fit like a glove and don't feet heavy under you take them off if that makes sense. I would recommend them. i had my doubts but I've been very satisfied Hope that helps.

Hiked in Utah when temp was around 80...my feet did not sweat. Love these socks! Took quite a long hike: no blisters!!!

Seriously, I was not truly successful with vibram shoes UNTIL I started wearing socks in them (and I have a variety of Injinji socks depending on the purpose). I don't run but I do hike, including a Grand Canyon South Rim to river and back again in one day, in Vibram shoes. These compression socks are simply stellar. They had enough jam to keep edema from occuring right after a knee replacement and they are fabulous for hiking or even just a day in the office when I know I'll be on my feet a lot. If you're not wearing socks at all under the VFFs now, the difference is amazing. I simply do NOT wear them for any purpose without socks now (and I do wear them many, MANY places including many my wife would prefer I did... not...). I remain convinced that the people who give up on VFFs would not and might make it through the "feet learning to be feet again" phase and become a total convert.

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.

As long as your shoes/boots have space I wouldn't know why not. These socks are typically worn in cases where your feet will be in water (wading through rivers) for longer periods of time so wool socks over them in submerged water would provide little to no insulating value and would likely add weight to your feet with drenched 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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 believe these would work nicely on a pair of hiking shoes. They do allow adjustment for a snug fit. I was even thinking of putting these on my blackhawk boots but they don't have the length to fit. I think these laces are better then standard laces by far.

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.
