The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: Socks - yes or no? KSH - 2009-07-21 3:54 PM T1- I do not put on socks. All the water from my body drains into my shoes- so what's the point? Anyways, I don't get blisters from my cycling shoes. T2- I put on socks. I will get blisters if I run without socks. Same here. I don't want to take the time in T1 to dry my feet off and put socks on. I don't blister when I go sockless on the bike and have had zero issues biking without socks. I do have to wear socks on the run- even for sprints because I blister easily. But it's pretty easy to put them on since my feet have dried out on the bike. Edited by runnergirl 2009-07-22 7:32 AM |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: Socks - yes or no? I'm not going to be winning anything anytime soon... so I wear socks and go for the comfort on both the bike and run. Also, I know this is nutty but I don't want the stinkiest shoes in the house (my husband has the award now for stinkiest shoes, clothes, etc). Good workout = lots of sweat but I hate the stink. I know... I have issues! |

Haha I only put that option in there, just because I knew if I didn't, someone else would. Ohh. Okay. Hahaha.  |

Champion 10020 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Socks - yes or no? If you ever get tri-specific bike shoes, they are made to be worn sockless. They are cushiony and nice inside and the fit is not appropriate to wear socks with. Since I got "tri" bike shoes, I haven't worn a sock and never missed it. Then my feet are dry by the time I return, by the way. However, if I am wearing my old cycling shoes that are not meant for wet bare feet (I have a pair of mountain bike Shimano shoes) I wear socks no matter what. Sometimes I wear them for duathlons. I've been putting on socks in T2 until this year. I accidentally forgot my socks on a training run early in the season and discovered that, for a short run, I didn't need them. So now I do not race with socks for sprints. I will continue to wear them for longer than 3 mile runs until I can experiment some more. Because of this, I occasionally do not wear socks to run. But mostly I do. |

| Veteran 294 Boston | Subject: RE: Socks - yes or no? I wear em because I"m afraid of getting blisters, although I have never actually gotten blisters from not wearing socks. Maybe I should experiment - that would bee a sweet time saver... |
