I have worn Swiftwicks, Feetures, Experia, and some others. These socks have held their shape the best. A little shrinkage but nothing to worry about.

... the heels pill almost immediately upon initial wearing. After just a couple of wearings and washings, these socks look OLD. Yes, these socks are incredibly comfortable. They just don't wear well.

Quality Varies

3 years ago

I ordered 2 of the Balega Hidden Comfort Socks one in Mystic Mauve and one in Black and the sizes are completely different. It’s almost like they are different socks. Both say they are medium, but the black socks are too large and the toe seam sticks out like whiskers on that pair and not the other. Disappointed in the quality differences between the different colors.

Running Socks

7 years ago

These socks were my first pair specific to running. I love them. The extra cushion in the heel and ball of my foot make the 10 miles feel better. They do a great job of wicking the sweat. I didn't even realize before wearing the socks that I could use some relief in my shoes. I used these socks 2 weeks after I broke in my new pair of running shoes. I was so happy after the first couple of times of running in these socks that I have bought more pairs (Don't have to wash so often).

Super comfortable and stay up

2 days ago

An REI associate recommended these several years back. I wear them for workouts and general activities. They're extremely comfortable and always stay up. I consider them well worth the price. The extra padding does add a bit of temperature, but the comfort is totally worth it. They're very durable and well-made. In my experience the sizes run a little larger than most -- I wear a women's 10.5 shoe and need a Large in any other sock; these are quite comfortable in Medium. The only downside I notice compared to similar socks is after a few launderings, the white fabric loses its brightness, becoming a bit bluish/dingy. But since they're nearly all hidden inside a shoe, this isn't a concern, and I'd continue to buy them.

These are the best socks ever. I have gone through so many different pairs to find the right ones. What is nice about these are that if you pick the right size they will never slip down into your shoes.Size true to size. Also we have a big time runner in the family and I have been buying these for him for 6 years now and they still wear great. Wash and dry still stay in shape..

Happy feet

9 years ago

I love the socks! I now know what kind to buy again. Comfortable, no rubbing, no blisters, no slipping, no bunching, kept their shape and washed well. Even the color makes me happy.

Loving these socks!

4 years ago

I’m a plus size girl with wide feet... usually wear size 8-9 wide width sneakers or 9-10 dress shoes. I’ve always had problems with no show and ankle socks slipping beneath my heels... but not with these socks!!! I love them so much! Although these socks are considered no show, you can see about an inch on the sides of my Adidas Grand Court sneakers... but they stay on, so I’m happy.

Used To Be the Best Socks Anywhere

1 year ago

Balega, first of all for years now I have been your biggest fan… I buy these as gifts to runners and now my family have been wearing them… the “No show Hidden Comfort” socks… I started out originally using them for running and now it’s the only sock I wear. Now I am not sure. This year I bought 4 new pairs of the same sock at my local runners shop and they are now continually sliding down into my shoes… running shoes and my trainers walking to campus. I work with college athletes. I have to constantly take me shoes off and fix my socks. Did your product change in materials used, design or…? I want my old Hidden Comfort Socks back.

SO Comfy!!

9 years ago

I've been aiming to upgrade my footwear, including treating myself to "good" socks. These were the first pair I bought from REI that i wore...and they were SO comfy! Not only did they make my feet feel better because of the cushion, but as I've been having a lot of trouble with my feet in the past year they also kept my feet comforted and protected, keeping them from being chafed and irritated from the insides of my shoes.
