I am so glad to read the other reviews. Have awhile bag of darling no shows that slide off and wont't stay on my heel. Please change back to the old design.

These no-show socks wouldn't stay on my feet. They slipped off my heel as soon as I began walking with them on with shoes over top. Not the quality I'm used to with SmartWool products.

I have been a smartwool sock lover for many years. but my latest order was so disappointing. I order the 'no-show' socks and they used to be lovely quality wool with a full sewn-in edging around the opening. now these socks are of a lesser quality wool - and they don't have any edging at all - which then allows the opening to 'curl' and not lay correctly. not at all the item that I fell in love with.

For some reason they keep slipping off and bunching up at the toes so that I'm basically not wearing any socks at all. Maybe it's the fault of my foot? But anyway they don't work for me. :(

My high arched foot size 7.5 shoe could Not fit into this tiny sock. It was no way long enough! Sad. I will keep them and use them to cover the insoles on shoes I own that have removable insoles. Not a total loss. I had ordered Medium but nope.

I love these socks, but the "natural" color is not what is shown online. It is an ivory color with no heather. Not cool Smartwool.

I'm with the women who don't get it - this is a bit thicker than most similar products, but it doesn't stay on any better than the thin socks. Perhaps someone with "perfect" feet might be able to wear them.

I absolutely loved these in chestnut so I decided to buy a couple more pair. To my dismay, they've added heel hugger jell to the inside of the sock. Yuk. These were the only no show socks on the market that didn't have this "glue". I don't want these chemicals rubbing against my skin all day so I returned them. So dissapointed. The socks fit snug enuf you don't even need the glue.

Smartwool used to make a no show sock for women, worked well with ballet flats and even heels.
These are sold as "women's" but when they arrived the pa packaging said unisex. The old no show sock didn't show under ballet flats. These new ones have a seam and come up high on the foot. They stick out about 1" from my shoes. They are great if you want to wear them with Converse or similar, worthless for professional shoes.

I own many pairs of Smartwool sleuth socks in the old style. Ordered these, and they don't stay on my foot. Pls bring back the old version!

Well, this product has changed and it is not a good thing! These socks used to be so comfortable. I'm referring to no show sox. The top of sock is higher up on the foot now. toes get smashed up in front bc. you then have to pull sock over your heel. The heels slip down all day long. Even the material feels different..thinner, tighter. Not good.

Again, nice material, but not all pairs have the gripper on the inside of the heel- so they slip off and are unwearable.

I purchsed black no show socks that stay up on the heel well. These beige ones are awful and slipped off my heels within a block of walking with them. Do not buy these.

Purchased these socks and was excited about them as SMARTWOOL socks are big in our family. It's all my hubby and I wear and our kids even have several pairs. Unfortunately they will NOT stay on my feet. I inquired about the satisfaction guarantee and they told me to bring them back to the store I bought them at. I purchased before christmas and well life got busy and I sure didnt keep my recipt as I have never had an issue with smartwoll quality before so why would I need that? Im disappointed they are not standing behind there word. I purchased 4 of these and several (6) of the other no show socks which I also had issues with (to thin, and wore through). After several emails and pictures of each individual sock they finally gave me a credit for 4 pairs of socks. NOT the guarantee I was hoping for. Not sure I will be the promoter and gifting of smartwool as I previously was. On a positive Im hoping to replace some of them with the money they did credit me and praying they are the previous quality that smartwool was/is.

The socks used to be perfect, but since the re-design they do nothing but fall off my heel and irritate me. So disappointing. Do not recommend.

Please go back to the old style. Most ballet flats start where your toes connect to your feet. The old style works with all my shoes. The new design doesn't work with any of my flats.
