 Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 6:38 pm Post subject: Socks ??? |
 |
|
I have been battling heel pain (plantar fasciitis), and have been given permission by my Sensei to wear martial arts shoes with orthotics in them when training. So I have ordered a pair of Discipline MA shoes from Karate Depot. My question is - do you wear socks with MA shoes? Any experiences / advice is appreciated. Thanks.

i have never worn socks with my shoes, so i can only speak from a sockless point of view. i have no problem using no socks and i dont think i know anyone that does wear socks, but i dont think its uncommon. i think its whatevers comfortable for you. i'd see how they fit when you get them too, that might also help you determine the answer to that question.
ps-great choice going with karate depot, you can never fail with them. i've used them for years!

I think I would wear a pair of ankle socks, that are thinner than normal socks. That is just me, though. I don't wear shoes without socks.

If I'm training in MA shoes I always wear socks. I hate it when you get all sweaty and the shoes don't seem as comfortable anymore. WOuldn't wear too thick socks though or you will overheat.

I would think if you didn't wear some sort of thin sock, you may develop blisters from your damp skin rubbing against the material of the shoe.

 I am the same way! That, and when I take my shoe off, the insole tends to come out with it. I hate that!

I know! That is so annoying. I had to reglue the insoles of my TKD shoes the first time I made that mistake.

Me to.
I find it, if you do not wear socks with shoes that your feet smell really bad. |
