Thinees. Experience the Barefoot Feeling… without the Stink.
Our goal at Thinees is to provide a near barefoot skating experience, without the drawbacks of actually skating in your bare feet. Our socks are engineered to be ultra thin, provide a comfortable four-way stretch, and wick away moisture. This helps provide a comfortable, dry skating experience while preventing bacteria build up in your skates, which causes skate odor and skate rot.
Thinees Headbands. See the Game Better.
It’s hard to find a comfortable headband that can keep the sweat out of your eyes. That’s why we decided to design a thin headband that’s as comfortable as our socks and can also absorb and wick sweat away from your eyes.
Perfect for wearing under a helmet or hanging around the rink.
More than just Skating Socks
Thinees' vapor thin design, wicking action, and four-way stretch engineering make it the industry leader in comfort and a sock worth wearing for any sporting or exercise activity. Its sani sock wicking material helps keep the foot dry, which is paramount in reducing skate odor and skate rot. Thinees are the champions of moisture control.
Whether you're a hockey player, figure skater, ringette player or just want a pair of socks that keep your feet comfortable and dry, look no further than Thinees ultra thin sani socks.

FAQs
- What are Thinees?
-
Thinees are ultra-thin performance socks engineered to give you a near-barefoot feel in your skates while wicking moisture and reducing odor. They’re designed with four-way stretch for a seamless, comfortable fit.
- Who are they for—only skaters?
-
They’re ideal for hockey, figure skating, and ringette—but the vapor-thin, moisture-managing design also makes them great for general sport or training.
- Are Thinees unisex? How do I pick a size?
-
Yes. Thinees sizes are based on foot/leg length—not on gender. Choose from Long, Short, Junior, or Mini.
- Long: 18.5 in / 47 cm length — 3.5 in / 8.9 cm width
- Short: 14.5 in / 36.8 cm length — 3.5 in / 8.9 cm width
- Junior: 14.5 in / 36.8 cm length — 2.75 in / 7 cm width
- Mini: 10 in / 25.4 cm — 2.25 in / 5.7 cm width; recommended for kids ~ages 3–6
Sizing can vary slightly by color—check the product page sizing table before you buy.
- What are Thinees made of?
-
A durable, moisture-wicking polyamide–cotton blend (for example, many styles are 97% polyamide / 3% cotton). See each product page for exact composition.
- How do Thinees help with skate “stink”?
-
By wicking moisture away and fitting smoothly (no bunching), Thinees help reduce the bacterial build-up that causes skate odor and “skate rot.”
- How thin are they, really?
-
Thinees are positioned as the thinnest skating sock while still delivering a secure, barefoot-like feel in-boot.
- Are Thinees a tube sock?
-
Yes! In order to achieve our seamless-feel, we produced a 4-way stretch, moisture-wicking tube sock. This also helps with sizing, as you're looking for a size mainly for the width of your foot and then more of a preference of how it goes up your lower leg.
- How should I wash and care for them?
-
For best performance and longevity: wash inside-out in cold water, avoid fabric softener, and hang dry or tumble low.
- Do you offer free shipping?
-
Yes—free shipping on orders over $85 in Canada and the USA. (Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout for other orders.)
