socks or no socks?
Moderator: Barto
i used to go sockless because it felt better, but then i had to wash my spikes all the time so that they wouldn't smell - and it was just a pain ... so then i got these really cool nike socks - they're like mesh and they're really really cool and it feels like you're not wearing socks, but you are - its crazy lol

I wear Nike presto socks with my spikes. They are thin, but tight and really breatheable...like a second skin. So I don't get blisters and my feet and my spikes always smell like ROSES! Wear socks dude...you don't wanna have feet that smell like Oprah.
Hey is that a pole in your hand or are you just happy to see me?

definitely no socks. I like my spikes to feel as tight as possible on my feet. I tried wearing socks, but my heels would slip around sometimes whcih annoyed me when I ran. As far as the smell goes, meet your new best friend -> http://www.goldbond.com/foot.asp
a little dash of GoldBond before slipping on your spikes goes a long way

that what im talking about..........if you do have to go sockless at least have the decency to do something about the smell! i have 2 teammates that dont wear socks and it is horrible to be any near when they change their spikes
I'm not too sure, but she doesn't look like she smells very pleasant...perhaps she smells a bit like Donald Trump's sweat stains as he says, (insert hand motion here) "YOU'RE FIRED!"Just out of curiosity- what does oprah smell like?
Ohh, what an angry sweaty old man that is...please wear socks!
