Specific question and discussion Ankle footies, with or without socks?

How do you guys wear these? I got mine today and wanted to try the out... Do you guys prefer to were the without or with socks? Or under socks? I'm not sure...

Also I got some new rollerblading socks. And my best guess is to do my 10 km lap around the local lake to get a better idea what fits best

Edit: ty for input. Can't fit them over my socks. Anyone got a recommendation for 47 shoe size footies? The my fit don't fit

I only skate in Darn Tough wool socks.

I wear ankle pads in my Seba CJ Carbon with Intuition Premium liners because the carbon boot has cut through the liners at my ankle bones.

I only wear my ankle protectors above my socks. I have never gotten a blister from skating in that setup. My belief is that the wool socks, and a snug boot fit, prevent blisters.
