CeCe Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I need new running shoes that I don't have to wear socks with. Any suggestions? I have walking shoes that I've been using so far that I love love love! But fear they won't be sufficient in the long run. (Pun intended.) Can I continue with the walking shoes or is that a bad idea? Seriously, I think part of my success so far (w4d2) has been because my feet have been comfortable. I've tried running before and my biggest irritation was always socks!!

Anne Lang Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 my dad always ran in running shoes without sox in the summer dont see why you cant walking shoes i think bend diff from running and i think where the shock absorbing is is different. If you could go to a running store and get properly fitted sock less that would be ideal. I bet in florida lots of people go sock less gois job on week 4d2 im about to start week five if i could stop stalling it is only 31 out on long island ny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hvae you tried a proper pair of running socks? What's the problem you have with them? Unless you run in Vibrm Five Fingers minimalist/barefoot shoes(EXTREMELY hard to learn and painful), if you don't wear socks, you are most likjely fdestined for foot blisters.

CeCe Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks, Anne. I will continue as is. They are extremely lightweight & comfortable. I just asked because I didn't know if all you pros knew of anything on the market. Good for you week 5! And I don't blame you for stalling!!

CeCe Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 @Azatol- socks to my toes are like a very restrictive girdle. And they are HOT. My shoes are perfect so far, I just didnt know if there was something better on the market. I'm not interested in trying the toe shoes as I also have a very high arch besides the fact that they look like extreme socks! I just hate socks. They are hot, restrictive, they creep down off my heel while running, and I get more blisters with them. I've had non so far without them.

Azatol Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Well if you do decide to try a sock, consider Feetures Elite Ultra Light. They are so thin you can see through them in spots. Keep your feet dry and blister free. Best of luck and I didn't expect you to want Vibrams. Totally different kind of running. Got em. Rarely wear em. Can't run but a mile in them.
