Balega Hidden Comfort Performance No Show Athletic Running Socks for Men and Women

These socks are perfect! They are so soft but feel supportive as well! I hated to take them off!

I am absolutely blown away by these socks. I have very specific (and difficult) criteria for running gear: I struggle with extremely wet feet during runs, I can’t stand the itch of wool, and I have a sensitivity to elastane/spandex that usually causes my skin to break out if the compression is too high.The ProsSkin-Safe Fabric: Most performance socks are loaded with elastic fibers, but these only have 2% elastane. For someone like me who gets skin irritation from high-elastane compression gear, these are a total lifesaver. No breakouts, just comfort.Superior Moisture Management: My feet usually feel soaked halfway through a run, but the "Drynamix" fabric in these keeps them remarkably dry without that "squishy" feeling.Cushion Without the Squeeze: The "Hidden Comfort" name is no joke. They feel plush and padded like a cloud, but they don't have that tight, suffocating grip that traditional compression socks have.Perfect Fit: The heel tab is the ideal height—it protects my Achilles from shoe friction but never slides down into the shoe, but when I run in my hokas I still use a bit of kinsi tape to keep my heel from rubbing, in my brooks I don't find it necessary.The ConsPrice Point: They are sold as a single pair, so they are an investment. However, given that they solved my skin and moisture issues simultaneously, they are worth every cent.Sizing: Be sure to check the Balega chart; since they aren't high-compression, getting the "Small" right is key to preventing any movement. For example I wear a womens wide 8 shoe and the small size fits me perfectly.Final Verdict: If you are a runner who needs to avoid wool or high-elastane materials but still wants a high-performance, dry-wicking sock, these are the ones. I’m already planning to replace my entire sock drawer with these.

The thickness of these socks are the best I have ever had on my feet. I love how squishy they are and wish they were a bit cheaper so I could buy more. They are fantastic to travel with and make my feet feel great even after hours upon hours of travel or shopping. The white is a true white and if you haven't tried them you really should- they are a game changer

These are my favorite socks for long walks and jogs. They tan at the heel/ankle really helps prevent blisters. They are lightweight with mild compression and are breathable so I don’t have any issue with foot odor even when running through puddles or muddy trails. I own 12 pairs in black and grey and have put them through quite a few wash cycles without them shrinking. It’s been a few months and I have no holes or tears in them so they are holding up very well. I will buy more in the future.

Love these socks! Finally a pair that stays above the shoe. Very comfortable and cushion your foot. They are the only socks I buy to wear with sneakers when I walk and/or go to the gym. They were recommended to me by my neighbor, and now I recommend them to all my friends. I have bought them many times in different colors. They might seem a little pricey, but they are worth it!

I wanted to love these socks more than anything and tell everyone in the world about how much I adore them! I kept the packaging they came in; it was very impressive, informative, and was fully recyclable. This company supports underprivileged individuals in Turkey by providing jobs, and using cotton spun and made in the USA. They also give a portion of proceeds to multiple great charities. The products that they use are fantastic, the people that do the work literally even sign off individually on each pair. I loved that my socks had a picture and signature of the person who approved them. They are soft, comfortable, beautiful, and are even pre-washed so you can wear them right out of the packaging!! I love the added thickness in different areas to provide extra support, especially the little bit at the back of the ankle. Never had I ever experienced so much thoughtfulness and care going into a product like this.However, after just one wash they pilled up worse than any article of clothing I've ever owned. Obviously not worth scraping pills off of socks, so they look pretty awful after the first wash. Like socks you've owned for a decade. If that doesn't bother you, then I would 1,000% recommend these. The comfory, quality, materials used, etc. surpass all others. And I know it's "just socks" but we wear them everyday (sometimes more than once a day in hot months or when exercising!) and these characteristics are important.

Best socks I ever owned. My wife bought socks from another well known company because she likes there charitable contributions. I hated those socks and replaced them with Belega socks. They never let me down. They fit well, are a nice weight, and they are no-show.

These socks are pricey at 15 a pair. But for trekking 3 weeks in Europe they were fantastic. Worth the price.

I love these socks. Very comfortable and thick but not too thick that it affects wearing my joggers.
