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.

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)

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.

With socks, I would always go smaller. Socks too big can cause very uncomfortable gathering under the foot. Injinji socks are very well made and with the smaller size should fit perfectly.

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

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

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.

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."

Hi! You can use them with whatever shoes you want. They are super comfy and after a few uses you will love the feeling. Primarily, I use them with my running shoes, which are not Vibrans. Besides the comfort, I really feel how my feet grasp the shoe while running, and this did not happen with regular socks. I purchased 5 pairs of fingered-type socks of another brand, which are thinner, and I use them with whatever non-workout shoes, including shoes for formal attire. I really love the five-finger socks concept!

Hi Ellen, I would not advise wearing socks that are made of wool for hiking during the summer heat. these socks are 67% wool.

I have not tried wool socks. Sorry , I can't help out on the subject. But they do keep my feet the warmest of all my winter socks, including ski specific sock that I have.

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.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

I try to wash them at night when I take them off or in the morning. As long as they are clean when you put them on and they are keeping their shape, I keeping wearing them. I have a spare because I have put mine down when I take my socks off and forget to pick it up. Then in the morning when I go to put it on I forget where I put it. So I use my spare and then I find it. Always put it at a certain place every night so you know where it is. Sometime I go crazy looking for it because I didn't put it where it belongs. Hope this helps.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

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.

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