They've even got features like extra-light knitted panels at the top of the foot and extra padding below, so you're free of unnecessary bulk while staying comfortable all day long. They've got the kind of smart construction that keeps them snug at the midfoot, so they'll support your foot while protecting your shoes from sweat (which, by the way, is absolute murder on footwear, especially anything made of leather). They've got high-end technical fabrics and grippy bits on the interior so they won't slip down your heels. All of them are an essential if you're planning to ditch the crew socks and bare a little shin this summer.īest of all, today's versions are even better than the ones you hunted down all those years ago. Others (we'll call them "no-show running socks") can't pull that particular parlor trick, hitting a little higher on the foot to protect from abrasion while leaving your ankles blissfully free to feel the breeze as you put in your miles. Some folks call 'em loafer socks, because the lowest-profile versions of them are cut so that they're invisible even under your Weejuns. Yeah, I'm talking about those low-cut socks that look absolutely ridiculous on their own but disappear entirely under a pair of lace-ups or sneakers.
The real heads know: No-show socks are the only way to go "sockless" when the weather heats up.
Do you have any idea how many dudes just straight up destroyed their feet by shoving them, entirely unclothed, into brand new Aldens? Amateur hour. Remember a while back-we're talking #menswear-era, here-when seemingly every guy on the planet decided every other guy on the planet needed to see his ankles? It was the dawn of the sockless look, and it was, at least at first, a bit masochistic.
