The Balega Silver No-Show Compression-Fit Running Sock for Men and Women provides moisture-management and comfort without sacrificing fit and performance. Silver ions are encapsulated in the proprietary Drynamix yarn blend to keep feet clean and dry. Constructed to mimic a running shoe, the varying tension of the fibers and knit patterns throughout the athletic sock lock in the heel and provide compressive arch support for grip and quick pick-up, while allowing the toes to move freely. The seamless, hand-linked toe box minimizes friction for blisters and chafing. A high heel tab and extra deep heel pocket ensures that the sock won’t slip down into the shoe. The Balega Silver No-Show Compression-Fit Running Sock features medium-volume cushioning, ensuring durability for extended training and endurance events.

Favorite Sock
Absolutely love these socks - they are my favorite and I will continue to buy them as long as they make them. Comfortable, perfect size, last a really long time, and stay in place no matter what type of shoe I'm wearing.

These actually have quite a bit of arch support
These are pricey but are very well made. I have 3 pairs and they will probably last me forever. I decided to quit having so many workout socks and trying to find the mates. Now I have two designs & that’s it. No more digging in the laundry for a particular sock. As I said, these are made really well. They conform to your fit and do fit snugly. I have a high instep so sometimes, if my workout is longer, they’ll start to bother me and I have to take my shoe & sock off, to give my foot a break. The seams are stitched well & I don’t find myself adjusting where the little toe is. I just put them on and they fit every curve of your foot. They are not thick,( but have a teeny it of thickness at the ball of your foot.) , so they won’t make your shoe fit tighter. The material is perfect and it doesn’t bunch up anywhere. I think the design is awesome. I have washed them zillions of times and they fit the same and the color has not faded. Really good product

Perfect Running Socks! - A Repeat Gift
These socks are fantastic! They fit perfectly, offering comfortable compressive arch support that feels great during long runs. The thick sole provides excellent cushioning without being too bulky. I bought them as a gift for a friend last year. She loved them so much more than her other pairs that I decided to get her a few more pairs this year. Highly recommend for runners or anyone looking for high-quality, comfortable socks!

Premium Comfort, Predictable Lifespan, High Cost
I own about 12 pairs of Balegas accumulated over three years. After extensive use, a few consistent patterns emerge.Performance:- Fit and Compression: Tight, particularly around the toes—closer to a half-size small. I recommend sizing up. A medium was too tight and had to be donated.- Thickness and Protection: Thicker than comparable brands (Danish Endurance, Timberland), particularly at the heel and toe. Excellent for impact protection, which makes them suitable even for boots and heavier shoes.- Moisture Wicking: Strong but not dramatically superior to other high-performance options; notably better than standard polyester blends.Durability:- Real-world lifespan is 12–18 months. Thread splitting typically begins around the 10–12 month mark, with large holes appearing by month 14.- Even after major wear, ribbing and arch support areas often remain intact, keeping the socks usable for lighter use.- Shoe fit likely impacts wear rate—friction points accelerate breakdown more than general fabric fatigue.- No real apparent decline of quality with washing (always cold, medium or gentle cycles, and low-heat drying)Cost Considerations:- Balegas are expensive relative to competitors. Cost-per-wear is roughly double compared to brands like Danish Endurance or Timberland.- I ultimately supplemented my rotation with Danish Endurance ultra-thin running socks—less flashy, but at nearly half the cost.Verdict:Balegas deliver superior fit, comfort, and targeted protection, but at a premium. If maximum softness, cushioning, and a perfect running fit matter most, they’re worth it. If cost-per-use and longevity are your priorities, Perhaps look elsewhere.
