You see i can't make up my mind about this and every few weeks used to
switch from thin socks to thick socks. As my boots are a tiny bit too
big in the heel i always went for the thick socks, then one day the
thick socks were bulging in the instep and i couldn't sort them out
and they kept hurting so i took them off and skated bare foot...the
differnce was huge - i could really feel what i was doing through the
bottom of the boot and it felt like someone had taken the blind fold
off. I then started skating with really thin socks on but after while
my foot hurts and i find i don't have enough padding around the ankle.

Swings and roundabouts...i'm currently skating with thin socks but i
get the socks i've put holes in and cut the foot part off and just put
a couple of pairs of these footless socks on around the ankle
(particularly) the landing ankle for extra padding and that has worked
quite well for a while.
