Your secret weapon to preventing blisters and sweaty feet.

If you’re into the cuffed pant and no-sock look, wearing leather shoes sans socks is a masochist move. You’re pretty much sending a royal invitation to blisters and germs—plus, expect blood and sweat stains on your good shoes, not to mention a nasty odor that'll practically knock you out every time you slip them off your feet. That's where no-show socks come in.

No-show socks—also referred to as loafer liners or invisible socks—help to provide a barrier of protection between your gentle feet and your favorite shoes on the down low. Whether you opt for a thin knit pair for dress shoes or go for a cushioned option to sport with sneakers during your workouts, there's a ton of options on the market to suit every guy's needs for comfort, combatting odor, and preventing skin damage.
