I bought new socks for my 5k tomorrow. They are "footie" socks. I thought they'd be invisible (or nearly so) under the sneaker, but they'd still cover

most of my foot. I was mistaken.

Do you think these would still be okay to wear? I can't imagine that so-called athletic socks (bought 'em at Sports Authority) wouldn't be okay to wear under sneakers, but you never know.

Sorry about this, but no foot race is worth any style of . . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 14, 07:31 3
- Yes, vanity is my middle name. How right you are. -- nm - kelly Sep 14, 10:49 2
  - I've tried to wear those with flats and they slip down under my feet in a few steps. -- nm - Meg Sep 14, 11:02 1
    - I found a stray sock that matched another. They were still low cut, but they did cover the whole top of my foot. -- nm - kelly Sep 14, 11:08
these aren't sneakery socks, they're fashiony socks for wearing with flats. -- nm - amanda Sep 14, 06:04
I might suggest the ankle high ones for the next one...some kind of performance sock -- (link) - Remlik Sep 13, 22:14
What's the concern here? First, you are mistaken how? Do they not cover most of your foot or are they not invisible? - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 13, 20:59 6
- They don't cover most of the top of my foot. If I'm walking, would there be an issue with the tongue of the sneaker rubbing on my foot? -- nm - kelly Sep 13, 21:09 5
  - Oh God, yes. Don't wear them. That's going to wear the skin to the bone. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 13, 21:26
  - Yes. Just wear normal socks. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 21:11 3
    - My normal socks are thick and uncomfortable in my sneakers. - kelly Sep 13, 21:13 2
      - What about doubling up? Wearing the comfortable sockettes on the side, and the thick ones over them. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 13, 21:27
      - If the thinner ones work wear a mismatched pair. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 13, 21:15
The advice I've a plays heard is to not wear new sox -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 13, 20:57 1
- ....socks or shoes in a walk or race unless you are absolutely sure they're going to be comfortable. - the liioulu with insects Sep 13, 20:59
I have no answers for you. But: good luck with the 5K! - prayformojo Sep 13, 20:32 1
- Thanks! My friend and I are walking, not running. It's not a timed race anyway so that's okay. - kelly Sep 13, 20:40
