As with every race(from 5k to marathon)with a bad patch, we also need to tell you about the parts of these socks that can hamper your performance. With hidden socks, you need to have exact size or they can slip down in your shoe and the sizing can be a bit tricky with these.

They are thicker socks and the ventilation is not as great as other types so they will not be the best for hot summer runs. Especially if you don’t want sweaty feet.The Balega brand offers a well-made sock, but be careful that you don’t get a cheap knockoff, they will not perform the same as the real thing.

It is a low cut sock and won’t be completely hidden and they are a bit pricey compared to other hidden running socks.

The final word

These are nice light hidden socks that are thick enough to keep blisters away while you train for a 10k but still give you a little extra ventilation with the Drynamix material. It is a thicker sock to give you more comfort so it will be a warm sock to wear in summer.

They will hold up very well if you get the correct size and will keep you comfortable even if you need to run a half marathon in pouring rain. The padding is great if your soles need a little extra love and they are well made (if a little expensive).

We recommend these if you want a nice semi hidden sock for training in cooler weather or in the gym. They will help those hot spots to keep their cool and will give you the comfort to reach your running goals.
