Terrific socks --Dry cool feet with no blisters on any length run

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

Color: Royal BlueSize: LargeVerified Purchase

Top line: Keep my feet cool, dry, and slip free on any long run without the fear or blisters or hot spots

Good: I spent years chasing the perfect sock to protect my feet on long runs. Sometimes thicker does not equal better. It's amazing socks so light and thin could protect your feet from blisters on long runs, but here we are. I've worn these all the way up to marathon distance with great results. The seamless design makes it feel like you are not wearing socks at all, and I routinely finish long, warm runs with dry, cool feet thanks to these. Love the bright colors also.

Bad: Not much here. They could use just a touch more heel coverage; some shoes with high heel counters will sit over the top of the sock, exposing a potential hot spot on the back of the ankle.

Other: After about 60-70 wears (probably a few hundred miles, at least), mine have developed wear patterns consistent with my foot strike pattern. My first pair finally developed a hole a few weeks ago. Still, good durability to last that long.

Wonderful for any use

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2021

Color: New BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase

While Balega makes excellent running socks for joggers, these are idea for simply wearing around the house. They keep your feet warm during the fall, spring and summer months, while allowing you to walk around the house in the middle of the night without taking your spouse, kids or guests. They're also incredibly comfortable, take up almost no room and never need ironing. Just stretch them over your feel, and the tension pulls the stretchy material so it lies flat on your feet.

But trust me, if you get one pair, go ahead and purchase several, because you'll want extras whenever you're doing the laundry for those cold bathroom, kitchen, laundry and tile floors. Plus, they're study enough to wear when going out for the paper every morning!

Amazing socks!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2022

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I was skeptical about buying a single pair of socks for around 15$ but I have been completely surprised and delighted by these socks. These are wonderful socks. They are quick dry and never stink!!! Like seriously! And they are very snug socks but very soft and minimalist no show but stay in place which is very important to me. No rubbing no blisters and no issues. I just wash them normal in the washer. I don’t dry them and they air dry quickly. (I think I dried them in the dryer once or twice by accident and it just shrinks them a little which I want to avoid to prolong the life of them.) All I can say is I never thought I would rely on 1 pair of socks so much but they have just become my go to pair for runs. Please don’t hesitate to buy-very much worth it!!

Tight fit deters blisters

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019

Color: WhiteSize: MediumVerified Purchase

Having read reviews for these socks, some comments state that they are small. That is the point. Though they are snug, it is that lack of bulk that helps keep blisters at bay. I will not say they are perfect, but they are the best I found so far. They do tend to display loose threads on the inside, but that does not deter from their performance in my opinion. In fact, I tend to wear all of my socks inside-out since, for some unknown reason, socks are usually softer on the outside than the inside. That, alone, can solve friction on one's foot. I like that they are light, tight, and they wick away moisture as they advertise. They are not so tight as to cause a mark on my ankle. They do not slip, but they also provide no padding if that is what you seek. Padding is not a loss if you are wearing these for blister protection. I find the bulkier the socks, the more blisters I receive. I like these very much.

Great no show socks!

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018

Color: WhiteSize: SmallVerified Purchase

I love Belaga socks! I have them in all the different styles and colors. I have severe sesamoid inflammation on both feet and need to wear my new orthotics in running shoes so I bought a pair that can be worn with casual clothing. I bought 7 pairs of these in white to go with the running shoes I’ll need to wear daily. They are thin but not tight or restricting like some thin socks can be. I really love the toe seam because it doesn’t give me blisters. They are expensive but last a long time and give my feet comfortablity all day. Worth it!

The BEST Socks I Have Ever Worn!

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016

Color: Pink/AquaSize: SmallVerified Purchase

I love, love, love these socks. I'm a big "socks snob," because I've never been able to find a pair that fit right in all the right places (also, I hate wearing shoes) and these socks fit snugly in all the right places. They "hug" my foot and it barely feels like I have any socks on! At first, I thought they were a little expensive, but let me tell you, they are WELL WORTH THE PRICE if you care about a breathable, minimalist sock. These are wonderful for minimalist shoes as well! I started off with one pair, now I have 6!

Very thin. Blessing or curse?

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

Color: BlackSize: MediumVerified Purchase

I used to like thin lightweight socks for every day wear, but now that i have started running for longer distances i appreciate thicker with more padding socks. This pair is great, fits great but the material is too thin and no grip , i find myself sliding in my shoes. I was recommended this brand from a running blog so i got a couple of them. The anti blister pair they offer is way more superior than this one.
Overall, i am really impressed by this company and will continue to buy from them.
If any of the company reps read this, please we need bundles. Pair of 3 or 4s so we don’t have to order pairs separately.

Very Happy with Purchase

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018

Color: Cool BlueSize: SmallVerified Purchase

So my husband thought I was crazy for buying special running socks, but he can call me crazy all he wants. These socks work!!! I was having issues with hot spots developing on the bottom of my feet and my ankles when I walked. So I bought new shoes thinking it was my shoes. The hot spots kept happening. So I did some research and found out I was wearing the wrong kind of socks which were 100% cotton. These socks had amazing reviews so I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did. It totally solved the problem of my feet burning while I walked. They stay in place and feel great on my feet. I will be purchasing a few more pair, I am so happy.

Really liked these socks. Lightweight and very comfortable. HOWEVER a hole appeared in the sock on the big toe after the second use. Not impressed, money wasted as cannot return.

Thin yet warm

Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2021

Color: Midgrey/FogSize: LargeVerified Purchase

This thin sock fits my size 9.5 foot very well. Surprisingly warm for its thinness. No sliding in my trail runners. As a size large, it is supposed to fit up to size 12. But I don't see how it would stretch past 10.5.
