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

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

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 Pros Skin-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 Cons Price 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.

These are absolutely hands-down the best and most comfortable socks! They last forever and keep your feet warm in the winter but breathable in the summer. They are a bit expensive but worth the money.

These are the most comfortable running socks I've ever tried. I've washed them about 10x and they still have the same form and quality, whereas most socks would have started to stretch and deform by now. 10/10 quality and comfort.

My son runs cross country and track at his college. These socks are his favorite. They’re a bit pricey, although not nearly as much as some other brands. They are great quality. They are cushioned but not too much that they’d make your shoes fit differently.

Comfortable but after washing seemed even tighter. Wish I had bought both sizes and tried them both before ordering more. I may try another cheaper brand as these are super pricey if you don't want to wash the same pair every night lol.

Comfort & Fit: The socks are praised for their comfort, with a plush cushioning that feels great against the skin. Material & Durability: Made predominantly from polyester, they are smooth and have a stretchy quality. However, there have been some concerns about changes in the fabric composition in newer models, with a reduction in elasticity and a shift towards a more synthetic feel. Performance: While the Balega Hidden Comfort socks are incredibly comfortable for everyday activities, they may not be the top choice for performance running. The padding is not targeted to specific areas, which could be a drawback for long-distance runners. For my treadmill and 2-5mi runs in and outdoor it’s worked good and slowing down the burn I felt on bottom of my feet. Value: At around $16.00, they are considered a good value for the level of comfort they provide. Ideally I’d like to replace all my socks with these and toss out others unless used for outdoor chores and would get dirty. Without the tab would be weird daily with low top converse for example but a daily sock 99% of the time has been great. Overall: The Balega Hidden Comfort Performance No Show socks are a solid option for those seeking comfort and a reasonable price point. They are versatile enough for various activities, though serious runners might look for more performance-oriented features.

Great running socks. Prevent blisters and have nice support and cushioning. You can usually find less expensive ones in various colors and styles vs in your local running store.

Great socks but I ordered grey and white showed up.

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

Recommande. Confortable et durable. Couvre bien le talon dans les chaussures.

Love this brand, I used to get hard skin as my socks were too big, the small size this company offer, are perfect. Hidden comfort indeed.

Muy confortables y cómodas.
