The Balega UltraGlide Friction-Free No-Show Running Socks for Men and Women are ideal for runners who are prone to hot spots—skin irritation that can lead to blisters on the feet. A highly technical sock, the UltraGlide features Balega’s proprietary Drynamix poly blend fiber, combined with friction-free nylon yarn, and a textile lubricant that reduces heat and chafing. Seamless construction, and anatomically cut left and right feet eliminate excess fabric and bunching. Targeted cushioning across the top of the foot reduces lace pressure, and the heel and toe is reinforced for comfort and durability. A variable density metatarsal pad provides additional protection and support during long runs. Compressive arch supports and the flat-knit structure hold the sock securely in place, while ventilation panels ensure breathability. The Balega UltraGlide Friction-Free No-Show Running Socks feature medium-low volume cushioning for performance and durability during extended training and endurance events. Balega launched in 2003 and set out to create the world’s best performance running sock. Built to perfection, Balega socks are composed of extra fine yarn on high needle count machines and are hand-linked for a fully seamless design. Balega socks are 100 percent hand-inspected for quality assurance..

The perfect sock
I bought my first pair at FeetFleet when I got my new pair of New Balance 1080v13s. I own a LOT of pairs of socks, always searching for the perfect pair for my very hard-to-please feet. These moved to first place the minute I put them on.They have generous padding where it counts - heel and metatarsal, and is thinner where it should be - across the top and around the arches. I like the padded tabs at the opening (especially the top pad) which keep the socks from strangling my feet. The middle is slightly compressed to comfortably hug your arches.These socks whisk moisture away and stay put; they don't shift around btwn my foot and shoe like some socks I own (lookin' at you, bamboo socks). I don't find that they run small as other reviewers have stated. I wear a women's size 10.5W in running shoes, and got the size L in these socks. They have a generous fit while not being overly-roomy. Perfect fit for my feet.The fabric is so soft and the colors are fabulous. They just look sharp peeking out from the tops of my shoes. I bought 5 more pairs in various colors and am finally going to clean out that jam-packed drawer full of sad-sack and old misfit socks. These are all I need.

Perfect running socks!
Love these socks! I usually don’t like cushioned socks but these are perfect. They have targeted padding rather than just being thick all over. They are soft and wash well. I try not to put my running socks in the dryer but sometimes they manage to get there. These socks have held up well and stay soft and don’t shrink. I also like the sizing. I wear a size 9 running shoe so I usually find myself at the upper limit of size medium but large would be too big. These size mediums fit perfectly. Running socks are expensive - these are worth the money.

Great Socks!
I absolutely love these socks! They come in a lot of different colors, they are comfortable and easy to put on. I am a runner and I enjoy the tabs on both the front and back so your feet never rub in your shoes. I enjoyed that they weren't too thick and a good height on your foot. I think these are great quality and good use of your money! They don't have any slip grips on the bottom, but I don't think they are necessary. I think my last pair I had for over a year and a half. I plan to continue to buy these!

Awesome socks for runners and hikers
One of my favorite running socks. Absorbent, comfy, and don’t bunch up.

Perfect running socks!
I only wear Balega socks to run! They fit my wide foot perfectly and provide compression in my arch where I need it the most. These particular ones are thicker and therefore provide warmth without being bulky during colder runs. The colors are always so fun and do not fade after multiple washes.

Comfortable, supportive, & more reasonable price than alternative name brands
Ideal for my new tennis hobby. Snug, comfortable fit, supportive, perfect height on the ankle to shield it from shoe friction during play, & love the colors/design.Pricey for a pair of socks (but way cheaper than the popular, standard brands in comparison. Worth the money.

Really help prevent blisters
Tried a ton of different socks when training and running marathons. Sensitive feet mean blisters and sores all the time for me. These socks by Balega are the best I have found. They stay perfectly in place which means no rubbing and dramatically decreases blistering risk. Nice and cushiony as well. They come in a wide variety of colors which is also really nice. Perfect socks for serious runners.
