Balega Women's Silver Compression Fit Performance No Show Athletic Running Socks (1 Pair)

I try to run 4 to 6 miles 4 times a week and I have tried the Balega Hidden Comfort and the Ultralight. The Ultralight is perfect as far as the light and running sock for possibly sprinting but unfortunately it might be a little too tight as far as fit goes on my toe. I usually run with Asics shoes and when I tried on the hidden comfort, it felt very cushioned on the bottom and very mesh and breathable in the top but however it was a little bit not snug enough for running sock. Possibly would be good for a tennis sock. I really enjoyed the silver because it's kind of in between as far as cushioning goes it's lots of cushioning on the bottom and the top where the ankle tab is is perfect and they also have a snug fit on the arch so it's the perfect balance of fit, snugness, very messy and breathable on the top and extremely soft and cushiony with the seamless toes. The cushioning is medium high and the fit is probably Medium as well. It is extremely well balanced for a running sock for Middle to long distance running and regulates hot and cold temperatures for my runs. Not to mention it's got that silver ion technology on the bottom so my feet never really smell ever. It also is not too heavy for a running sock. The color options they have available are very pretty too!!! My next favorite would definitely be the hidden comfort bc they are so comfortable!

Comfortable. Pretty color. Just the right thickness. Soft but sturdy texture. Love Balega socks for running and walking.

Both my husband and I wear these. They won’t slip down in your shoe, comfy, and last forever! A little pricey for socks, but worth it imho.

I can't say enough good things about Balega socks. They have become my absolute go-to for all my long runs and races. I've completed multiple marathons and half marathons wearing these socks, and I can honestly say I have never experienced a blister or any hot spots.My feet consistently feel great throughout my runs, and the level of support these socks provide is amazing. On top of that, they are incredibly durable and last a long time, even with heavy use.While they might be a bit more expensive than some other socks on the market, they are absolutely worth every single penny. If you're a runner looking for reliable, comfortable, and blister-free performance, look no further than Balega socks. They are a game-changer!

The fit is amazing they look Great the quality is so good and the colors are fun. They also last forever.

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.

I've had 4 pair of these Balega socks that I've been wearing 6 or 7 days per week for 5+ years now. They are awesome! They honestly make it a little easier to get up at 5am to workout, because they just feel great on my feet. I asked for some new ones for Christmas this year and they are just as great as the ones I got 5+ years ago. Same great quality! Love the bright colors and love the durability! They wash up great and they hold up through many boot camp workouts and 50 washings per year. You won't be disappointed!
