5.0 out of 5 starsComparative review of five Balega sock models
July 26, 2016
I have a number of pairs of Balega socks which I've worn for running, and the Soft Tread is my favorite overall. Here's a few comparative thoughts.

I've bought five different types of Balega socks in total:

Balega Soft Tread No Show (Balega Soft Tread No Show - Royal BAL8926)
Balega Ultralight No Show (Balega Ultralight No Show Socks - Royal Blue/White - Small)
Balega Hidden Contour (Balega Hidden Contour Socks, Black/Yellow, Large)
Balega Hidden Comfort -- THIS PRODUCT
Balega Blister Resist No Show (Balega Blister Resist No Show Socks, White, Large)

The Balega Ultralight are very thin and rather smaller--especially in comparison to the other models. I've bought size Large in every sock, and they vary quite a bit. (For reference, I normally wear a men's 10, though I wear 11s for running.) If you like thin small socks, you may like the ultralight. Or go a size big if you want them to fit more comfortably.

On the other hand, the Blister Resist were way too thick and large. They had so much excess material that they felt horrible and my feet moved around in them. They are very hot. The material on the top of the foot is actually very thin, but the bottom makes up for it. That said, They make a comfortable sock to walk around in on my wood floors in the winter. Since I won't run in them, I give them use around the house.

The Hidden Contour and Hidden Comfort are similar. The Hidden Comfort are a tad thicker. They are both a bit thicker and larger than the Soft Tread socks, but they are comfortable and nicer for winter weather, when I tend to wear them running. If I were buying more, I'd go for the Hidden Comfort. Mine have stayed superbly comfortable longer than the Hidden Contour and still feel more padded.

I like the Soft Tread best (for running) because they are thick enough to be padded and comfortable, but I have to pull them snug on my feet so there is no room for my feet to move against the sock. Also, they are not so thick that I feel my feet get hot -- and I run in 100 degree Texas summer weather. Finally, the Soft Tread are made R and L foot specific, which I've found to be helpful for fit. The Ultralights are as well, but not the other three models, if I recall correctly. Though the Hidden Comfort came with an L on each sock, that stands for "Large", not "Left". Also, the heel tabs on a lot of these sock models, including this one, are great and do a lot to make sure the sock stays in place.

Hopefully this review helps a few folks decide what Balega sock might be best for them if they're looking to purchase. If you have questions, comment and I'll try to answer them.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot genuine Balega
November 7, 2018
I have bought multiple pairs of these exact socks from various different stores in the past. As far as I can tell these socks (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016CL88E) are not genuine Balega socks.

* The weave of the fabric is not as tight.
* The fit of the socks is not they same (they come higher on the ankle).
* The lettering on top of the socks does not match my other Balega socks.
* There are simple spelling mistakes on the packaging (eg. pereormance instead of performance).
* The printed cardboard packaging says made in South Africa, but there is sticker on the outside of the package that says made in China.

The socks I bought were sold by ALXMJ SPORT BAND (https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A3OCO0GGZLIM0G).

5.0 out of 5 starsMost comfortable socks I've ever worn

The socks are not too thin nor too thick. Just perfect. I played basketball with it as well as train for a 10k run with it. My feet always felt cool while just having enough protection from blisters. I wear a sz 9 shoes and the M fits like a glove.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy husband and I both love these socks we wear year round

Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
My husband and I both love these socks we wear year round. In the winter we pull on the wool socks over top of these and the wool keeps our feet warm and these socks keep our feet feeling comfortable. A great feature of these socks is that you can put them on with one hand while standing up and holding on to something. If you can get a big toe inside the opening your foot just slides right in. A great design for folks getting up in years.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe only pair of socks that work for me!
November 12, 2014
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I am a woman with very wide size 10-10.5 feet (FYI- if you don't know the size to get, the Balega website has a very accurate size chart. I am a medium). I have NEVER been able to wear low cut socks without having them slip down into my shoe after walking just a few feet. I've spent more $$ than I care to say on socks, trying to find the ones that cause the least friction, have the most comfort, and don't slip. I have found my holy grail in these socks. They didn't slip down even a little bit on my mile and a half walk. I just got these, so I haven't put them through the wash yet, and am not sure if they will stretch or wear out (although, many reviews on here say they do not wear out in the wash).The ONLY thing I wish these socks had was a label for L and R, so that I don't stretch the socks out putting them on different feet each time.

All in all, perfect socks. I just bought 4 more pair!

5.0 out of 5 starsBest no show socks, ever.
June 20, 2016
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Easily the best no show socks on the planet..... every time I put them on, it's like heaven. I have cheaper alternatives that have the same bit of extra padding at the back (Asics); but I only purchased those because they are cheaper and you can buy in bulk. Those are good; these are GREAT. Not really on the same page. These Balega also stand up much better in the wash. If they sold a 20 pack for around $6 per pair instead of $10... I'd buy it. Yes, I'd spend that much on socks just so I could wear these every time I wear running shoes, Chucks, PF Fylers, Nikes, etc.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest socks I have ever owned
October 16, 2018
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Y’all, these are the best socks I have ever owned. I asked for them for Christmas and now own 10 pairs because I am so obsessed. I wear them working out, lounging, under boots, literally everywhere! I threw out my other socks and now only own these. Also, Balega has incredible customer service! My puppy destroyed one of my socks and they sent me a replacement sock! These socks have a lot of cushion and are somehow always above the top of my shoe so i don’t get blisters but they don’t obviously show outside of the shoe. Have owned some pairs for 2 years and they are still great quality. If you need new socks, 100% get these.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat sock for runners
April 8, 2016
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
These are the only socks my son wears when he runs. He loves them! As a sprinter and distance runner, these socks do not give him blisters. Very comfortable and they wash up well. I just moved him into a size large sock (he currently wears a size 9 men's shoe) and it is just a little big. The mediums are a little snug but work well in his spikes. He wears the larges for his running shoes. Overall, we really like these socks. He has tried other brands and types but always comes back to these.

In both my cycling and work-out shoes the height is just right. Interesting as there is left-right sizing which seems to make sense, maybe more comfortable and better fitting. Never seen this before.

5.0 out of 5 starsComfortable
May 3, 2018
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Among the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. Snug but not tight, they wick moisture well and stay soft feeling for a fairly long time (2 months so far being worn and washed regularly). I look forward to putting these socks on in the morning. Be aware that the "no show" implies wearing mid top running shoes, not boat shoes or bucks or anything like that. But these are fantastic, I love them, so much that this is actually the second pair I've bought.

Love to Run
5.0 out of 5 starsLOVE These Socks!
June 6, 2016
Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I love Balega socks! This is my "go to" brand for running socks as there are no toe seams that chafe; the heel end stays put & doesn't slide down, & they have just the right amount of cushion for me. An added benefit is that they come in many fun colors (if you can find them in your size). The colors seem to change from season to season so old ones disappear and new ones become available.
