Like most people, Ive tried a million and one different types of no show socks to wear with shoes like ankle boots, and before this pair, every. single. time. Id try to wear them they would fall down and eventually manage to totally come off by the end of the day. It drove me crazy. I love Smartwool socks and figured Id try these, assuming the outcome would be the same, but these stay up with zero problems! Its a miracle. I cant say how well they would work if you were doing something like running, as I use more cushioned socks for that and just use these for day to day, but these socks are amazing. Definitely give these a try if you're also someone on the very long journey of finding socks that aren't devoured by shoes.
