New user  50  Central Florida |  Subject: Socks w/ Flying Mount & DismountEverything I've read and seen on the flying mount and dismount has been barefoot. Is there anyone that does this with socks? I'm curious because I ride and run with socks currently, and am looking at the best method for when I get a pair of triathlon cycling shoes. I've thought of running without socks, but that is when I encounter problems with blisters. Never had a blister until I tried going without socks. My current road cycling shoes cause me same issues. I have not gotten a pair of triathlon cycling shoes yet, so don't know if it will cause blisters. If it doesn't, then I'll just slip on socks in T2. If it does, I'm thinking I might need socks in T1. Just curious if anyone else has dealt with needing socks in T1 and then doing a flying mount and dismount. Thanks...Thomas |

No problems, in fact my feet went in the shoes a lot easier than barefoot. In the end, do what makes you comfortable and more efficient, not what others say you should be doing. |

Extreme Veteran 1136 | Subject: RE: Socks w/ Flying Mount & Dismount I will second the comment that if your bike shoes are giving you blisters they are probably not the right size. I also get blisters when running more than around 5k without socks, but never on the bike regardless of distance. |

| Minneapolis, MN | Subject: RE: Socks w/ Flying Mount & Dismount I go sock less. I tried it with socks in a very cold duathlon. My socks got stuck on the Velcro of my shoes. It did not work out well for me. The next year same cold duathlon, I wore shoes out of and into transition. |
