do these lightweight ones work well as a hiking sock liner for blisters)?

Yes, these toe socks are awesome. I have never had any foot or blister problems since I have started wearing them, even with wearing new shoes all day. They are very comfortable.

In addition to running in these socks and using an elliptical, I have also walked for 3 miles. I have never gotten a blister. The amazing part is that I don't feel like I'm wearing toe socks and there is no friction which I've had with some other athletic socks.

They are only very lightly lined - if the weather is chilly, a thicker sock should suffice.

I find them to be very comfortable without slipping when I walk/run. No blisters. My guess they would be fine for your movements but keep in mind I just use them for a walk or a run.

I think so. They can break if smashed but I will use them camping. As for lightweight, yes they are very light.

They might work over your running shoes, but they don't seem very well suited to that kind of use. They're made of fairly heavy rubber with an aggressive tread on the sole.

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

Probably but they are lightweight and uncomfortable. I wouldn't buy them again.

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

They are a good size and work well to cover dry shoes. They will not work with wet shoes . The water will go right through. Stick with the largest size. They do tear easily.

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. Make sure you wear socks that come up high, otherwise you'll get a blister on your leg.

They're not for heavy lifting, in my opinion. I like to have my thumbs covered or I get blisters. The grip is great, but not enough coverage for me. Also, make sure to get the correct size or you'll be sliding around.

I have used these on hikes of 10 miles and more and on the treadmill and have never had chafing. They do get your calves warm in a hurry.

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.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

I was wearing them on Brooks Cascadias so yes they will most definitely for on running shoes. They would also fit on some of the lighter weight hikers like possibly Keen or Merrells
