Rather, it generally behooves skimo racers and their ilk to wear something more form-fitting, which won't bunch up in front of the toes, cultivate excessive moisture, or futz with a boot's fit. On top of that, some folks just prefer a thinner sock. If you need an over-the-calf stocking to squeeze into a "per..
