Balega socks are engineered with the company's proprietary drynamix moisture management technology that keeps feet cool and dry while allowing free airflow for maximum comfort, performance and durability. All of Balega running socks have been race tested and incorporate a hand linked seamless toe, eliminating abrasion across the top of the foot. The company also knits an extra deep heel pocket ensuring that each sock fits the foot perfectly and does not slide down during a run. Designed with a medium volume construction.

Balega OVER Bombas
** Comfy/THICK socks for runners**Bought these for my man who likes to run- A LOT. They are thicker than Bombas, good at hold moisture, great quality, and fantastic cushioning. He's worn them about 10X and they have held up so far. They don't leak moisture like Nike's/ADIDAS/PUMA's, they are really good for short of long runs. They are a bit pricey however they are worth the price.

Pricey but 100% worth it.
A little expensive for a pair of socks… but definitely the BEST pair of socks I have ever tried.

Comparative review of five Balega sock models
I have a number of pairs of Balega socks which I've worn for running, and the Soft Tread is my favorite overall. Here's a few comparative thoughts.I've bought five different types of Balega socks in total:Balega Soft Tread No Show (Balega Soft Tread No Show - Royal BAL8926)Balega Ultralight No Show (Balega Ultralight No Show Socks - Royal Blue/White - Small)Balega Hidden Contour (Balega Hidden Contour Socks, Black/Yellow, Large)Balega Hidden Comfort -- THIS PRODUCTBalega Blister Resist No Show (Balega Blister Resist No Show Socks, White, Large)The Balega Ultralight are very thin and rather smaller--especially in comparison to the other models. I've bought size Large in every sock, and they vary quite a bit. (For reference, I normally wear a men's 10, though I wear 11s for running.) If you like thin small socks, you may like the ultralight. Or go a size big if you want them to fit more comfortably.On the other hand, the Blister Resist were way too thick and large. They had so much excess material that they felt horrible and my feet moved around in them. They are very hot. The material on the top of the foot is actually very thin, but the bottom makes up for it. That said, They make a comfortable sock to walk around in on my wood floors in the winter. Since I won't run in them, I give them use around the house.The Hidden Contour and Hidden Comfort are similar. The Hidden Comfort are a tad thicker. They are both a bit thicker and larger than the Soft Tread socks, but they are comfortable and nicer for winter weather, when I tend to wear them running. If I were buying more, I'd go for the Hidden Comfort. Mine have stayed superbly comfortable longer than the Hidden Contour and still feel more padded.I like the Soft Tread best (for running) because they are thick enough to be padded and comfortable, but I have to pull them snug on my feet so there is no room for my feet to move against the sock. Also, they are not so thick that I feel my feet get hot -- and I run in 100 degree Texas summer weather. Finally, the Soft Tread are made R and L foot specific, which I've found to be helpful for fit. The Ultralights are as well, but not the other three models, if I recall correctly. Though the Hidden Comfort came with an L on each sock, that stands for "Large", not "Left". Also, the heel tabs on a lot of these sock models, including this one, are great and do a lot to make sure the sock stays in place.Hopefully this review helps a few folks decide what Balega sock might be best for them if they're looking to purchase. If you have questions, comment and I'll try to answer them.

Good socks
Good socks. I’d buy Balega socks again. Good fit, form to the feee and no excess material that gets in the way of feeling good.

Very comfortable socks but not perfect
These are very comfortable and soft, I wear them on hikes and jogs but sometimes in daily wear the heel gets pulled down into my shoes. Just a little surprising for a sock this expensive. Otherwise I'd have given 5 stars.I wear shorter UA socks on a daily basis, the ones I've worn for years don't do this but the new version they just released does. Not sure if it's the material or what, but it's frustrating. Either way hard to knock off more than a star, it doesn't happen frequently with the Balegas.

The moment I slide my foot into these magnificent Balega Hidden Comfort socks, it's like stepping into pure bliss. Every stride feels effortless, as if I'm gliding on clouds. Not only do they deliver unmatched comfort and performance, but they also add a touch of style that turns heads. These socks are the ultimate game-changer—perfect for running, lounging, or anything in between. Simply put, they're a masterpiece for your feet!
