I need some new running socks. I like the tab and no show ones but some of mine slide down to much:(

I'm planning on hitting my LRS today and want to pick up some new ones, so what are your favorite running socks?

I think it's the Lady Enduro something or other that I buy. They have the tab and don't slide down (at least for me).

Another Belega fan - ultra thin. I also like Wrightsocks. Because of the double layering, I love it for my long runs over 6 miles. Don't get the hot spots like I would with other socks, even Balegas, and are not bulky.

I'm totally low tech. My all time favorite are the wicking no-show socks from Target that are solid white with the gold stripe across the toe. Best. Socks. Ever.

I like Balega hidden comfort and Feetures, but for very different reasons. The Balegas are cushy, while the Feetures feel like they're giving my feet a big hug (and I guess my feet need to feel loved sometimes). Both are great!

Another low-tech person here. My favorite is the "No Nonsense" brand sport socks. I buy them when they go on BOGO sale at Publix supermarket, lol. I discovered them about 3 years ago and only wear those now.

I love my Balega, but have been alternating with some c9 lately too. I have the older gold stripe Target ones and they slip for me as well. These are the ones I like:

They are a little dorky with shorts/capris, but I need socks that hit up a bit higher to avoid them slipping. No show socks don't cut it.

These are my all-time favorite socks too. They are worth every penny. I'm such an advocate of them that I even included them in my H&F secret santa gift this year. I've tried other socks and just keep coming back to them. I have all white pairs, I've been thinking about getting some colored pairs though too.

I usually the three pack sports socks from Old Navy. They don't have the ones I have online any more.

I just but these today. Compression socks for Old Navy. In the store they had different colors on clearance for $1.97. I'll see how they work out.
