I'm going to give them a try. Thanks for posting this.

I can't go sockless, either. I get the silver threads preventing odor, but what about your foot oils and sweat just sitting there? I like to be able to wash my liners regularly. I do a lot of toe socks in my summer shoes as they don't slip, and since they are like hose they wash and dry in a flash. My heels are fine, I just can't stand the ball of my foot and my toes without socks.

I just looked at the reviews. Not good. In fact has anyone bought any of the products that appear on Facebook. Some of the clothing is adorable, but they all seem to get bad reviews?

I just put baby powder in the shoes that I want to go sockless.

I have a work friend who wears little socks that look like a slightly nicer version of the "try on shoes" ped. They're cotton and are mostly hidden by her shoes... though sometimes they peek out.

Like @bpathome, I generally use toe caps, but can't find them anymore. The only ones I can find are to long and come up about an inch past the shoe! I may try these. I used to use baby powder (or stick deodorant on the bottom of my feet) - but really prefer the toe caps.

I wear something similar to this, but every once in awhile I have trouble with them sliding down at the heel.

I've tried those @bac717...they work (kind of) but I found that, for some reason, they make my shoes squeak when I walk.

I have not ttried them but have read comments from folks who put them in their Tieks and they destroyed the insoles.

Gigirambles, I haven't seen toe caps lately, either. I hope they are still out there somewhere!

If anyone finds a source for toe caps, please let us know. I have one measly pair in nude and would like a dozen but don’t remember where I bought mine. I also have one pair of thin white stretch “peds” (covers heel to toe) that I can wear with some of my dress flats. I cannot find a source for additional pairs.

ETA: The “peds” I’m searching for are lower cut at the toe than those bac717 shows and in a sheer hosiery fabric.

I used to buy mine at Target but they don't carry them anymore. I have scoured the net and just can't find them.

Gigi, I did see a page of them on Amazon. I had to adjust my search term several times to come up with "toe peds", they are also called "toe covers". Toe caps seems to refer to athletic footwear. Here's the link, I hope it works.

Toe peds

bpat - I've never seen so many varieties of toe peds - thanks

I will use body glide on my feet. Seems to help.

Can any of you comment on what you wear in the spring/summer. I work in a profession where hose are sort of still a thing. I have veins showing, etc. but I hate hose in the warm weather. I love my winter tights. I generally use spray on leg makeup but would love to know about sheer hose that don't run first time you wear them. I have heard that super sheer do not look like hose. I don't wear open toe so that is not an issue. For my outside of work times I wouldn't mind reccomendations on leg makeup, etc.

Thanks, bpat, I saw those but when I looked at the reviews I saw that some people were saying they are too long. But I'll take one for the team and buy them - maybe I'll get lucky.

Anne, there are super sheer hose that do not look like you are wearing hose. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I wore them, I can't think of the brand I used to use. I would think that if you spent a little more money on a better brand you might find a pair that runs.

I only wear hose to funerals. And when I do, I wear the sheerest, nudest hose I can find. SIL’s mother has a trick that is worth repeating here. Before putting on sheer hosiery, put on a pair of disposable rubber gloves. It prevents your nails from nicking the hose plus, the rubber makes it easier to pull up the stockings/panty hose. Fortunately, I do not know first hand exactly how this trick works because no one I know has died recently.

Bbstz...I work in the funeral industry so I have to! Was trying to private message you.

I bought a pair to wear in my tieks.. they have a semi removable version now and while I like them okay, but they don't stay stuck. I can feel them coming loose as I wear them. I like that they are not tight on my heel like my peds are, but I would rather just put insoles in my tieks to absorb the foot sweat.

Van's No Show socks. They don't show, zero heel slipping, no sweaty feet (78% cotton), thin so they don't make your shoes feel tighter. I hang dry mine and they still look new after 18 mos. Ten bucks for a 3 pack at DSW so if you're not happy it's not a big investment lost. I love them, though.

I wear mules and clogs a lot and I love Mabua half socks - I buy mine on Amazon.

I can adjust them so they don't show at all over the top of my shoes.

They totally eliminate any moisture in my shoes and wash up perfectly.

I bought them and don't like them. They rubbed my feet in all the wrong places. I thought it was the shoe but it was the liner, removing the liners resolved all the uncomfortable rubbing. Interestingly enough, I cannot find a way to leave a review on their website.

I bought them and used in white leather tennis shoes. They worked out well. I got tired of other socks that were to be no-show that slipped down. At least gekks appear to stay put.

I had high hopes for these and considering the $18 price tag I expected liners to be comfortable. They are not comfortable at all. The seams cut into my skin leaving red marks that were hurting by the end of the day. I would not recommend them at all. Also the company lies about the shipping time. It took them over a week to ship and only after I submitted a complaint with BBB their customer services granted me with their response.

Please DO NOT buy from this "company"! Oh if I had only read these review first. Their customer service is severely lacking: the only way to to contact them is through email, which might not sound bad, but believe me it is. After several attempts to get my products delivered (they said the order had been delivered until it was brought to their attention that indeed it had not) and several attempts to then request how to submit for a refund I was informed that a refund can be given for "unworn and unused " items. OK, please tell me HOW you can determine if you like / can use a product without ever using it : e.g. taking of the adhesive and placing it in the shoe. The product : basically a rag stuck to the inside of your shoe was hideous! I have just returned the rags and hope to get my refund. My warning to future consumers: DO NOT purchase these.

I really wish there was a comfortable pair of liners and for that matter shoes that go with them that don’t cost a fortune. I no longer have heel feet but still work in a heel profession and hate totally bare feet without liners but also hate gross, sweaty feet. I have to “dress” for my profession but I often feel like a sweaty mess... both in clothing and shoes. I wonder how the men I work with can look so fresh in suits and ties. I imagine they have swamp foot too! Any suggestions welcome! Especially if anyone has a great idea for “refreshing” shoes in between wearings”

I don’t have personal experience with the no show socks, but on the Travel Fashion Girls site, a lot of people have recommended Smartwool. I do love their regular socks and didn’t realize they made a no-show. There are some others people have tried and liked....Naturalizer, Vans, Invisasox, some from Costco, Bombas, Loft, and several others. Just throwing those brands out there that got the better reviews.

I wewear HUE no show socks. Thin on top, slightly thicker on bottom. Elastic on back of sock, sticky stuff just below. They stay on well, they don't move around, I can barely feel them on my feet. So far they wash up well its been a months so far

Ladies - I *think* I have finally found the original toe caps that I used to buy at Target on Amazon! In all my previous searches I couldn't find these exact ones but I just happened to look today (because I was seriously getting to the point of just making my own!) and there they were. I'll know if these are just like the original ones when they arrive. But they definitely look like the ones I used to find. These are better than the whole foot ones that peek out of your shoes and slip off your foot. They are better than the ones with the clear elastic sling. These stay put, normally don't show with most flats.

Probably not suitable for wearing with heels (I don't wear heels, so can't say for sure - maybe they would work), but I recently discovered the Smartwool footies, mentioned above by OutsidePlaying. Don't let the "wool" put you off. They are SO comfortable, thin, absorbent, no seams, and do NOT slide down into your shoes. They come in a beigey color, as well as black.One of my friends was wearing them and I could tell when I saw her put them on that they are different than any I've tried.

Highly recommend. I buy them at REI.

eta: I went to add this link and see they have lots of fun patterns and colors, too!

I have purchased Gekks mutilple times and love them! They are perfect for the no show look, as they do not show above the shoes, and the feel like socks and prevent blisters. I have had none of the issues that others mentioned above regarding shipping delays. I have also purchased them as gifts.

Gekks are horrible. I ordered them, and they didn't stick in my shoes and kept sliding around. The company was unreachable to work out a return or complaint, and I was blocked from their social media when I made negative comments about their product and lack of communication. Check out the Better Business Bureau to see how they're treating their customers. The company seems like a scam.

I love Gekks although they are expensive. For decades I have tried all the solutions to no-sock look, from footies, to toe covers, and half foot covers. All of them showed above shoe line or slipped and bunched, or caused blisters creating extra friction with the elastic at heel or along the top seams. The pretty lacy top liners gave me blisters and never looked that evenly spaced peeking out of my shoes. Gekks is the first sock liner that works for me: for flats, loafers, and sneakers. Since there is nothing else like it, I pay the high price to keep one in each pair of my favorite shoes. I was not interested in spending the time moving and reinstalling to another shoe ( they do last longer if dedicated to one pair of shoes).

Solution to issues I have read about: 1) Gekks not sticking to some shoes; 2) adhesive can damage shoes with delicate leather liners like Everlane; 3) limited budgets for an expensive product to buy for each shoe in closet.

But there is an easy solution: put a thin gel (or other) 3/4 insole in your shoes and attach the Gekks to the insole. Then move the insole to any other shoe with Gekks sock attached. Voila! issues solved for any shoe you could use with a thin insole! There are many insole products. You can search for "thin shoe insoles" on AMZ.

For Rothys, which have removable insoles anyway, choose one of your Rothys basic color insoles, attach the Gekks, then just move the Rothys insole with the attached Gekks sock... from Rothy shoe to shoe. Then you only need one Gekk style per Rothy style in your closet.

Start collecting slowly: Attached to a movable 3/4 insole (or one of your basic color Rothys insoles) makes Gekks work for any shoe that you could use with a thin insole, although the Gekks heel adhesive would wear out sooner, but a great solution while you are building your collection. I recommend 3/4 insoles because different shoes have different toe box shapes and it is hard to make a full insole fit perfectly for moving shoe to shoe. The heel adhesive may wear faster moving shoe to shoe, but you should get a good amount of use while evaluating Gekks while giving your budget time to add more if you love them like I do.

I have read people saying the Gekks did not work and they slide around, which I find amazing since they have adhesive. I bet the "slide around" reviews that have been posted are from people who did not peel off the protective plastic film over the adhesive pads. It is very subtle and hard to see. that is the only explanation I can think of that would make Gekks slide around and not stick.

I saw some disposable liners in some magazine article...hoping to find them again to try. I also would like to find stockings that dont make me sweat as I really should wear them to work. I am thinking some kind of cheap charcoal liners would be great because I do sweat and the no see pedis end up showing and I can’t have that at work!
