Product Summary
Balega Silver No-Show Compression-Fit running socks are a blend of nylon, elastane, and Balega’s proprietary Drynamix yarn. This combination helps to keep feet dry and cool while exercising. These socks mimic the design of running shoes to lock in the heel and midfoot while still allowing the toes to move.
These socks use a combination of a high-tab heel and an extra deep heel pocket, with 30% more stitches, to prevent the sock from sliding down. There is a seamless, hand-linked toe box to prevent friction and increase comfort. The compression design provides arch support. The socks also incorporate microfiber mesh ventilation on the top of the foot to keep you cool. There are silver ions embedded in the yarn to keep your feet dry and odor-free.
The Silver No-Show Compression sock has positive reviews. Runners find the socks comfortable and like that they don’t slide down during their long runs. They also appreciate that they don’t require special care. Multiple people shared that they only run in these Balega socks. Negative reviews found the socks expensive and that they didn’t hold up in the wash well. They also found the socks to have a lot of loose threads on the inside of the socks.
Bottom Line
The Balega Silver No-Show Compression-Fit socks are an expensive, snug-fit sock that runners love and may not hold up well in the wash.
