Ski without socks?

[mozzy]

I know this is or was common among ski racers, anyone here do this, like sometimes or always?

I prefer the better 'feel', and it's one less thing to worry about wearing. Plus noone's going to be stealing my boots anytime soon, although my friends think I'm crazy for doing so.

i sometimes do if i feel like making my boot smell like pig rectum.

Im surprized I have never thought of doin it. I have been playin ice hockey w/ no socks for as long as I can remember b/c it feels better. Im gonna have to try it skiing.

 

[mozzy]

Funny, is it the norm to play hockey without socks, since I seem to hear that pretty often.

if i skied without my socks my feet would freeze to death

I would get blisters like whoa if I skiied without socks.

 

[my_ar5_steeze]

sometimes i ski without socks, feels so much better, but ur feet sweat then

Then I would get boots that fit if I were you.

I've done it when I forget my ski socks and dont want to ride with short socks.

 

[poofartpee]

never to cold without socks

 

[t_walker]

wierd... never thought of trying that... sounds comfy though

 

[C.J.]

another case of poor fitting boots.

I sweat too much in my boots and it gets all wet.

 

[Ski^^bum]

I love skiing without socks. So comfy.

i know a kid who skis without socks and with just like his boxers and his snow pants

 

[Crock360]

my boots are really old, and the insulation probably isnt what it used to be, so my feet would definatly freeze. But i have done it late season when it's really warm out.

 

[k2pow]

tried it 2 weeks ago it was perfect

 

[1440ski]

Hmm i will try it tomorrow

sounds intersting

 

[=Carson=]

I like my socks thank you

 

[Lineskier-101]

I've done it in footies, probably the stupidest thing I've thought of, because they just rolled all the way down my foot.

 

[BusyJohnSohn]

my feet would be cold

 

[Gnarshred]

Duh, what do you wear under your snowpants?

and I ski w/o socks when I forget my ski socks, but it smells like bitch afterwords.

seriously, one time I put my boots on the boot dryer at my shop for a better fit, and my manager across the room, who was painting, yelled at me to take them off.

 

[real9999]

I can't imagine how bad the stench would be from skiing without socks. It's socks for me.

Your feet will get cold because of all the sweat sitting around your foot, and the build-up of sweat over time would make the liner really nassty. It's a bad idea.

 

[=nick=]

i like either longjohns, pajamas, or sweatpants.

 

[ski_cartel]

boxers no matter the weather, but i use to ski without socks when i raced but havent really sence. I remember doing that cause whn you have your boots race tight the sock doesnt cling to your foot leaving those marks or sometimes blisters

 

[mozzy]

Now speaking of the smell, does anybody do anything to deal with it? Mine are bad, but not to the stage of killing small pets.

 

[Firegold]

I guess so, b/c most of my teammates dont wear socks.

Oh and if the smell of not wear sock in ski boots are similar to not wear in ice skates kill small animals wont be the problem, its finding a place to keep them that wont make your entire house smell like B.O. wraped in a baby diaper.

How would that make a difference for shin bang? If you dry your boots everynight it takes care of the smell.

 

[mozzy]

?????

Never had this problem.

 

[hk_]

Nothing,haha. Not even boxer..

 

[Peter.]

same here

 

[mozzy]

Thought about that, but OW. Now that would be major abrasion.

And shrinkage.
