Racing with no socks in crosscountry?

Question

i want to race without socks for my xc season. We race on all kinds of surfaces. is this a good idea cause when i race with socks my feet just feel so uncomfortable does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to prevent blisters when i race....i will be running in racing flats

Answer 1

Running without socks is a bad idea. Your feet will blister and tear, especially running crosscountry. My guess is that its not your socks that are making you unconfortable but your shoes. Try to find some that fit your feet nicely while running.

Also try wearing ankle socks. Theyll help a lot

Answer 2

you need socks! if you dont wear them you will get major blisters.and your feet will stink and thats gross.

or just gonna have to get used to them.

-wear ankle socks not the long ones.

-dont get the socks that are really thick either.

Answer 3

yea man i'd run with socks on ay

Answer 4

the truth is you need socks or Ur feel will smell

and u don't want that

Answer 5

you should try out the thinner socks that don't have a lot of cotton, preferably ankle high. do not get them oversize. what i do to avoid blisters is apply vaseline on the bottom top and inbetween my fingers. it works! if you have any blisters already, cover them up with medical tape or bandages.

if you run without socks, you will get more blisters plus stinky feet. good luck.

Answer 6

WHERE SOCKS!!!!!

1. if you don't you'll get blisters

2. your feet will stink

Answer 7

You should deff wear socks!! If you want bloody feet at the finish line then i suppose you should leave the socks at home, but otherwise you should deff wear them! thats a pretty insane idea.

Oh, your feet will also smell if you dont wear socks!
