Socks are an underrated travel essential, as they keep your feet comfortable and protected in sneakers and slip-on shoes. If you’re looking for the best no-show socks, add one of these recommendations to your shopping list!
Socks are a necessity for pairing with sneakers and slip on shoes to avoid sweaty feet and smelly shoes, but no one likes the look of socks showing when paired with fashionable shoes.
It can be hard to find a no-show sock that’s comfortable, isn’t too thick for warm weather, and won’t slip off your foot. Here’s a few I have found.
Smartwool Secret Sleuth Socks
SmartWool makes some of the most popular socks, and this low rider gives you all the benefits of SmartWool with barely a peep showing out of your shoe. It’s ultra-light and non-cushioned for maximum performance in close-fitting shoes.
They’re odor-proof and if I make sure to align them properly on my feet they stay on all day.
Bombas Solid No Shows Socks
I have been seeing some rave reviews about Bombas Socks forever, so I decided to try them out for myself earlier this year. I never knew socks could be THIS good. I discovered that I prefer the regular Lightweight No Show Sock vs. their Lightweight Merino Wool Sock.
With regards to sizing, I’m a size 7-7.5 and originally ordered the medium, but I found them too long, so now I’ve ordered size small. My ultimate sock capsule collection is complete, and I will never need another pair of socks again!
Mabua Half Toe No Show Socks
You won’t have to worry about your socks showing or slipping if they’re half socks! These socks prevent friction and odor while the breathable fabric protects your feet from sweating or slipping out of the sock.
They’re bamboo, super comfy, never slip, and they’re inexpensive on Amazon.
Balega Hidden Comfort No-Show Running Socks
If you’re looking for more durable, thicker no-show socks you can use for long periods of walking or hiking, try the Balega socks. Designed for runners, these offer a reinforced heel and toe, mesh construction for ventilation, and a plush under sole cushioning for extra protection.
Gekks Sneakers & Lace-Ups Socks
Gekks are a newer brand on the market that are quickly gaining popularity due to their unique sock styles for different types of shoes. These socks are made from an ultra-thin material with antimicrobial yarns that eliminate the sockless stench.
They actually fasten into your shoe so you don’t have to change them everyday. The material helps prevent odor, which is perfect for travel. They have three sock types depending on the type of shoe you’re wearing.
Nike Everyday Lightweight Footie Training Socks
Nike makes amazing athletic wear and shoes, so it’s not surprising they make great no-show socks. These footie training socks are made with mesh panels and a stretch cotton blend for breathability and a snug, soft feel.
These are my favourite no show sock. They have a grip in the heel to avoid slippage, and they’re really comfortable to wear.
