Hue Women's Hidden Cotton Liners-2 Pack

I’m new to “no show” socks but have a few pairs of shoes that would look better with them so I researched a few brands and settled on these. They’re okay enough I guess but given the opportunity I would not repurchase and rarely wear them. They’re mainly uncomfortable due to the seams that rub/irritate my foot. Also the heel silicone sticky area is helpful to not slip off your foot but it kind of bunches up and sticks out of the heel of my shoe unless I adjust it from time to time. It may sound like the socks are too big on me since the heel bunches a bit but weirdly they actually feel too small (at least in the toe area). TLDR: They’re simultaneously too small and too big and the seems rub/irritate my foot.

I was looking for simple no show liners with the rubber backs, this was all that was available so I decided to try them out. The back rubber is good, holds the socks up, but there are ridges along the entire sole of the sock. I'm not sure why they have them there. And walking a day in NYC I started getting blisters on the soles of my heels. I have another set of these that don't have ridges by a different brand and they have served me well for months. I would not recommend these if you have a lot of walking to do.

These work well as far as minimal coverage that doesn’t show and they stay on well. But the socks have these strange bumpy waves on the inside where you step into them. I assume the purpose of the waves are to keep them in place or keep them from slipping, but they are a little uncomfortable. Maybe I’m just sensitive, but the bumps bother me. If they weren’t raised up so much it would be better, or if there were only a couple of bumps in key areas rather than all along the bottom. So they are ok, but not great

They have an interesting wavy texture to the bottom and a silicone non-slip tab on the heel. They actually stay put and hidden when worn with ballet flats. Even after taking shoes off, they still stay on my feet. They're pretty thin so don't offer a lot of cushion but they're a great no-show option that really stays put. I like that these are sized as well; I'm a size 10 women's shoe and many "one size fits all" options really don't fit all. These do the trick.

I bought these a few weeks ago to use with new flats. It turned out that the flats were too shallow in the toe and the socks peeked out the toe, so I couldn't use them with those shoes. No big deal as I have other shoes I can wear them with. The part I'm not crazy about is the ridges on the bottom. They feel really rough on the bottoms of my feet. I will be fine using them with other flats since I bought them, but I probably won't purchase them again.

Other liners I've used have sagged down my heels and ended up very uncomfortable inside my shoes, but not on my feet. These have a spot of gel or silicone at the heel and so far, STAY PUT. My only wish was that they sold a 2 pack with one black and one nude. Now that I have the nude and know they stay on, I'd be ok with 2 black pair. The set I bought has zig-zag stitching on the feet. I wasn't sure why it's there, but it doesn't seem to detract.

I bought these Hue cotton liners a few years back but then they changed the style and they were too tight and I was stuck with the old ones with holes in them! I need quite a few new pairs of the black and nude so I can wear my flats to work. I buy the M/L size, as I am 8.5 shoe size and they do tend to shrink a tiny bit over time if you put them in the dryer. They are excellent at preventing any rubbing from shoes and keep your feet cool! Love!

I pick this out based on one main criteria, that they had that handy sticky bit on the heel. We all know that those socks will never stay on your feet without that. I took it home and put on the first pair. The first sock had that little sticky bit. The second one did not. The socks still slide down quite frequently but especially the one without the sticky. I will say they do fit nicely inside my shoes and really do not show very much at all
