I been reading about sockless, shoes without socks, Zoot shoes, etc... and I pretty much concluded as KitKat said "different strokes for different folks," and I cant' agree more.

I ran sockless for about 30min this morning and I got blister on my right foot. (on instep, right by the ball) I think it might be because of the shoe design or I might tie my shoelace too tight. Maybe I get used to it after few more running, I don't know. or just simply I'm not a big fun of running sockless...

But I was just curious to see if anyone on Trifuel had any experience with the shoes. or any Avia shoes, perhaps.

I run about 25% of runs sockless, and always sprint races sockless. I will often place a generous amount of body glide in the insole where I normally get a blister. I have calluses now, where the blisters form. I don't get blisters in my Pearl Izumi, but I do get minor onces when running in my Sauconys.
