Quote from SillyIggy : who needs 6 dollar socks when you can wash the shoes? i have never worn socks in my veebrams yet. am i missing something? yes, i have ran in every temperature from 5 - 85. and ice, snow, water, mud, rocks blah blah.

It helps wick away moisture for people who may blister easily.

My Vibram 5 fingers are such a great fit, I can't imagine socks fitting in there too.

(Are these socks made by Vibram?)

Idk six bucks just to have each little piggy individually wrapped in cloth?

If I run more than 10 miles in Vibrams without socks I get blisters. Not to mention that the shoes reek with no socks and I keep them in my office at work. YMMV and YFMV (Your Feet May Vary).

Thanks OP. In for 4 pairs.

I think it just depends on the person. I can wear socks with mine, and they are not loose, but my wife cannot wear socks in hers. These aren't made by Vibram but are frequently sold with them, since at least with the wool blend ones they are quite well made.

I bought two pair of these for my husband a few months ago. It was a deal on here, what a surprise! The first time he wore them they ended up with several holes (and yes he does clip his toenails). Ha, TMI, sorry.

I wear socks with mine... I'm up to 3 pair of Vibrams, and about 6 pairs of injinji and a couple pairs of Fila toe socks as well. It's a personal thing, if your vibrams are tight then you probably shouldn't wear socks, but the injinji's can be had very thin, and after 6 months the only reason i've stopped using a pair of socks is that one went to the sock monster in the sky or something.
Got a 3 pack of orange ones from amazon at christmas and Love them... my wife hates them because they draw extra attention to the vibrams.. and she doesn't like those much either.

I've got a few pairs and while they're really comfy (I wear with regular shoes), the lightweights have worn down pretty badly while the midweights are still going strong.

good find

Tempted to buy the female socks for 3.93

I have these (from Amazon). I wear a size 8. Ordered a Medium. They fit real nice. They look small for a Medium, but stretchable. I like them, but I would still prefer the normal (not lightweight) version.

I love any wool sock.... I got a set of these socks... Im on the fence about them, as they are a distinct L and R, which is a little annoying.

Also, as they separate your toes, my feet actually get a little cold in them around the house (think the difference between wearing mittens and gloves... hands are warmer in mittens.

For most people, these shoes stink pretty bad within a few weeks of wear. The socks avoid this.

If your shoes do stink, I recommend washing them in a vinegar dilution; 1c vinegar to 1gal water should be plenty, might even be able to scale back to 0.5c vinegar to 1gal water.

This things usually run $5-6 more a pair and I love them. I can't believe I just spent $120 on socks.
