Nicholls595 Jun 2016 4:34pm, 27 Jun 2016 5,130 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 I practiced running without socks and haven't had any problems so far. Not sure how I would get on with more than 5k though? For the record, I am not a hipster.
GlennR Jun 2016 4:40pm, 27 Jun 2016 20,165 posts	Quote Pin GlennR In fact I could happily run without socks, if the shoes were snug enough. But I wouldn't want to cycle without them.
