"Shoe shopping is such a better experience when I have the Skinnys with me. I'm a convert!"

—Taken from a Skinnys review (below)

NEW Skinnys No-Show Starter 4-Pack:

  • Two (2) pairs of Skinnys Performance 3x padded-heel socks
  • Two (2) pairs of Skinnys Invisibles 2x padded-heel liners
  • Comfort for lace-up days and slip-on days
  • Extra heel-wall thickness to fill air gaps
  • Orthotic-grade GripWrapTM side-wall silicone grips

Skinnys super-thick no-show socks are designed to ease the rubbing, slipping, and heel blistering in the back of our feet, especially for narrow heels.

If you've got an air gap around your heel causing you to pop out of shoes, these socks—with extra-thick heel cushioning right where they're needed—will be just the trick.

Skinnys Performance
Skinnys Invisibles

The secret: 2x–3x-padded heel counters + GripWrapTM orthotic-grade silicone gel grips (twice the silicone in other brands) for the best shoe fit ever.

With our No-Show Starter Pack, you're set for loafer days and sneaker days:

  • Two (2) pairs of Skinnys Performance No-Show Socks
    which feature a hidden sneaker contour to stay hidden in most low-top shoes like athletic shoes or mens' dress shoes, complete with a 3x-padded heel

  • Two (2) pairs of Skinnys Invisibles No-Show Liners
    which feature a secret liner cut to ensure a sockless illusion in slip-ons like Sperrys, loafers, and many ladies' flats, complete with a 2x-padded heel

Depending on the day, wear either of these guys out walking, working, or dancing, and you'll forget you ever suffered heel rubbing before.

    Four (4) pairs total. Also see options for single-style packs.

      How to Wear

      You can wear both types of Skinnys two ways:

      • Standalone:
        As you would any other no-show socks, for a heel-padded but ankle-revealing style
      • Under-layer:
        Inside other socks—such as dress socks or hiking socks. The double layers (and orthotic-grade GripWrap™ side-wall silicone padding on the Skinnys under-layer sock) will pad your heels while transfering any rubbing away from your skin and onto the fabric-to-fabric contact points

      Features

      • Premium combed cotton extra-padded in the heels, designed for cushioned comfort and maximum durability (even after many washes)
      • Stay-put features to remain secure on your foot without slipping off: a full ankle cuff (on the Skinnys Performance) and an elastic ankle band (on the Skinnys Invisibles)
      • GripWrap™ orthotic-grade silicone gel grips that wraps around all heel sides to provide extra padding, and temporarily adhere sock to skin
      • Ribbed arch weaving to provide additional support in the midfoot for high arches

      Sizing

      Note: Skinnys will fit different foot-shapes differently. Our socks are cut slightly narrower in the heel than typical store-bought no-show socks. For people on the edge between sizes, if you have narrower feet, we recommend following the guidelines as listed. If you have wider feet, you might consider selecting the next larger size of Skinnys if your feet are within a half-size of the top of the guideline ranges.

      All sizes are US sizes:

      • Small: Womens 4 ‒ 6½
      • Medium: Mens 6 ‒ 8½ / Womens 7 ‒ 9½
      • Large: Mens 9 ‒ 11½ / Womens 10 ‒ 12½
      • Extra-Large: Mens 12 ‒ 14 / Womens 13+

      Details + Care

      • Heather grey
      • Wash cold. Air dry / fluff cycle recommended
      • Skinnys Performance: 90% cotton, 8% polyester, 2% spandex
      • Skinnys Invisibles: 85% cotton, 12% polyester, 3% spandex
      • Designed in Hawaii, Made in Korea, Perfect for you

        How to find socks with actual heel padding —  Hint: You have to turn them inside out

        Most so-called "padded socks" on the market usually provide too much thickness in the areas you don't need it (toe box and sole) and annoyingly underpad the outer heel walls.

        A big secret: the only way to learn how a sock is structured is to turn it inside out.

        What are “specialty socks” and why are they more expensive?

        One question we're sometimes asked is why Skinnys cost what they do, when generic socks can be had for a few bucks a pair.

        It really comes down to what it takes to produce Skinnys and the fact that they're manufactured in more limited quantities.

        They're a little pricier, but you won't find this type of product anywhere else.

      • Foot slipping out of a loafer at the heel

        Why do shoes slip at the heel?

        Simply put, most shoe manufacturers design their shoes for "average" heels, even though around 25% of us would benefit from a slimmer-designed heel cup. For those of us in the narrower group, off-the-shelf shoes often have...

        Why do shoes slip at the heel?

        Simply put, most shoe manufacturers design their shoes for "average" heels, even though around 25% of us would benefit from a slimmer-designed heel cup.

        For those of us in the narrower group, off-the-shelf shoes often have heel cups that just have too much space—too much air—leaving a gap between the shoe and our heel. For non-padded shoes (dress shoes, loafers, boat shoes, etc.), there's even less room for error. And so our shoes slip off our feet.

        Will extra-thick no-show socks tighten my shoe fit?

        Why are all no-show socks paper thin, and could they be used to make loose shoes fit a bit tighter?

        For those of us who need a tighter shoe fit—because we blister in our heels or because our feet pop up or slip out of our shoes—thin socks simply won't cut it.

        We need the most padded no-show socks we can find, especially in the heel area!
