So a half sock. Wouldn’t work with ballet flats but sure does with athletic ( well, fashion athletic, I like feetures brand for running and workouts), oxfords and many others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1909241 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:14:33 +0000 Emily K 1909241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer these (finds). &nbsp;The shape is sewn-in (the sole is a separate piece from the upper) and they do a good job of staying on my foot. &nbsp;They will show on the sides of of a super-low-cut shoe like a d'Orsay style, but they are no-show with almost everything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1909226 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 01:21:51 +0000 Aquamarine 1909226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing I’ve tried works for me. They are either uncomfortable or show in my shoes, even loafers. I’m pretty much resigned to just going sock-less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1909083 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 20:27:34 +0000 Dianna 1909083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried like 5 different brands, and the ones that have worked better for me are from Naturalizer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908972 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:55:38 +0000 Gigi 1908972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with&nbsp;<b>Staysfit&nbsp;</b>that I think that your foot shape and size have something to do with whether a given brand will work or not.</p> <p>I have only one pair of no-show socks, and they're from Smartwool. Secret Sleuth, I think they're called. They have a little silicone grippy thing in the heel. I like them because they're sold in different sizes. I have a smaller foot, so most no-show socks are too big. I might have to adjust these a couple of times in the day, but they generally stay on. They don't seem to make the shoe fit too tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908964 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:39:56 +0000 Greyscale 1908964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. like krishnidoux, I have found that toe toppers / mule socks work best for me. They don’t help for shoes that rub my heels, but that’s not my usual problem. My favorite are Hue cotton mule socks. I wear these with d’orsay flats, sneakers, oxfords. They stay on my feet SO much better than the usual invisible socks. </p> <p>2. Like Diana and Anna I like the smartwool hide and seek socks with the higher cut. Good in oxfords and sneakers. I actually don’t like the little silicon grippy things in the newer version - mine are old, from before they added them. And yes the fact that these come in sizes helps. (They’re also great under fishnet socks by the way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908958 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:21:30 +0000 Chris987 1908958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>delurked yes we have chosen different brands but similar features. I have found that the ones that are designed to fit the different parts of the foot and come in sizes&nbsp;(and cost more) &nbsp;stay on much better&nbsp;than ones that are just a simple knitted shape. It also helps to have just a little heft to the fabric instead of being too thin, which is kind of counterintuitive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908956 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 17:10:19 +0000 Staysfit 1908956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Hue low profile liners slide right off my ankles. Are you looking for low profile, or something to wear with sneakers?</p> <p>My bet is the fit may depend on the shape of your foot. My foot is wider in front and skinny at the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908947 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:40:08 +0000 Angie 1908947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard great things about Stance too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908946 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:38:15 +0000 delurked 1908946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris - your socks in the pic look similar to my link. I take mine in a large though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908944 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:34:41 +0000 Chris987 1908944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the really thin smartwool ones. I've tried other brands that have the silicone grippers at the heel and still do not stay up. </p> <p>Also, even though my shoe size is 6.5 or 7 I find I do better with socks that come in sizes, and I always wear a<b> small.</b> Regular sized socks in theory should fit me but they usually stretch out and when that happens with these little footie socks it makes to slippage worse. </p> <p>If you are willing to have a bit of the heel of the sock showing, try feetures. They have a little padded piece that sticks up just above the heel of the shoe that keeps them in place really well. I wear them with running shoes. These also come in sizes and I wear the small. I have grey and am about to buy some black. &nbsp;Might not work with other types of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908939 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 16:16:17 +0000 delurked 1908939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to use the ones from Loft before they too annoyed me. As did the four other brands I tried before those. When I must walk a long ways, I use these Balega weightless hidden dry socks. They show a bit, but I am at a point where I sacrifice looks for comfort when it comes to shoes and socks. They are hidden well with most of my booties. </p> <p><a href="https://www.sockgeek.com/products/balega-hidden-dry-2-8948" rel="nofollow">https://www.sockgeek.com/produ.....dry-2-8948</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908935 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:58:15 +0000 annagybe 1908935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the same ones Diana recommended, thanks to her.<br />And like her their ballet shoe version doesn't work for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908921 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 15:13:10 +0000 K.M. 1908921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surprisingly the best ones I've found are from Old Navy. They are<br /> cotton, but thin enough to work with most shoes (unless your shoe is<br /> skintight). They definitely don't slip (silicone pads + the right<br /> shape). They are not as small as other types, so with some shoes I kind<br /> of tuck them in at the edges.</p> <p>A decade ago I had found a wonderful kind made of thin hosiery material with CUSHIONING at the soles, so it was so comfy and the cushioning helped it stay in place. But I don't remember the brand and haven't found a similar one again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908909 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:57:50 +0000 JAileen 1908909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these at the Rack, and they work for me.

They have some silicone in the back, which is where they tend to slip off my foot with the other brands. Even the low profile smartwool socks seem to stay put. I don’t notice them squeezing my foot either.</p> <p>For sneakers, which dont need as low a profile, I recently purchased some socks made by Adidas recommended by a salesperson who said she purchased them for her mother because all the other pairs kept sliding off her feet but these stayed in place. I tried them, and they work! I bought them on sale at Footlocker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908863 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 13:23:20 +0000 Janet 1908863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some by Stance that usually seem to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908850 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:47:41 +0000 viva 1908850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have given up on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suggestions-for-good-no-show-socks#post-1908845 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 12:37:07 +0000 Anonymous 1908845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Smart Wool with no seams.
