Balega Unisex Adult UltraGlide Friction-Free No-Show Running Socks (1-Pair)

Description

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.. Review: Perfect Socks - These are my favorite socks to wear with hiking shoes. Comfortable and smooth-feeling. I like the compression on the arch and the slight padding on the metatarsal. Breathable and moisture wicking. Expensive but worth the price. I will buy additional pairs. Review: 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.
