A sock must fit the contours of the foot snugly to ensure no movement on the foot. We offer a variety of fits, styles, and features to ensure you can find the best-fitting sock for your foot.
The quality & aspects of the yarn will determine how the sock fits & feels. After years of testing, we created a sock with legendary comfort, softness, performance, and durability Balega is known for.
All Balega socks are designed and engineered with three construction methods to create the most comfortable performance socks: Seamless Construction, Deep Heel Pocket & Ventilation Panels
We put a lot of effort into designing & constructing our socks, and a lot of miles/km’s in them before they are approved for production. Every pair of Balega socks is inspected for quality.

The perfect blend of nature and technology, Blister Resist Quarter socks combine mohair fiber and Drynamix to keep feet cool and dry throughout every activity. Drynamix wicks moisture away from the skin, while mohair holds moisture keeping feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Blister Resist socks have been race tested and feature a hand linked seamless toe to eliminate abrasion across the top of the foot for maximum comfort. The extra deep heel pocket ensures a perfect fit and the enhanced elastic grip construction provides additional no-slip security to prevent the sock from sliding down the foot during physical activity.
