11:25 - Socks to Avoid
Doing the Lord's work as usual. Thanks, Jon!
having tried many brands of no show socks that fall off almost immediately after putting on, i took your advice and splurged a little on the bombas no shows. and they are fantastic! they actually do stay on all day!!!
The absolute best men's fashion TH-camr on the platform, uncontested.
This is the absolute best men’s fashion channel on TH-cam. Nobody else provides this level of genuine brand advice. Very nice knowing that whenever I need to buy a certain piece of clothing I can turn to this channel to find the best option.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I remember also tucking in long crew socks. Thank goodness for no-shows. Although, I have to say I hate how they look without shoes. Lol. It just makes me feel like I'm wearing ballet slippers.
Dan Lopez LOL
Don’t wish to sound offensive, I am an HCP in orthopaedics and notice you have a marked bunion on the left foot. Keep an eye on that because you may need some surgical correction at some point, hope it doesn’t cause you pain!
100% agreed with ur assessment.👍
i wonder if his massive bunions effect his opinions on footwear🤔
I think he's oblivious to the bunions even being a problem, my guess is he has worn footwear that cramped his toes for so long causing his bunions.
I had a bilateral bunionectomy and recognized it immediately.
Too narrow shoes is the problem. The bunion can be reversed without surgery, but it takes effort to do so. Routine use of toe spreaders and more time barefoot (or at least less toe constriction) is required. Eliminating the use of too narrow shoes would be ideal.
The wife and i just bought 8 pairs of Bombas socks each! No shows and ankles. These are the first thing I’ve purchased based off your videos!
I just received my first no show socks from Mack Weldon last week. So far, so good. They are light, fit well and stay up.
Great video, Jon. Appreciate the time and effort you took in testing all of these. Now that it’s summer, I’m wearing my boat shoes more often and this guide will come in handy. Well done.
I cannot understand why (🤷🏽♂️) you do not have your own style Network. You are hands-down (👐🏽) the most comprehensive and thorough person on TH-cam! I would be remiss not to add that you are so easy on the eyes as well 😉
You’re watching my style network! Thank you Taylor!
@@The_Kavalier I didn't think of it like that. I should have said on CBS NBC etc...😉
i was shopping for new no show socks and then this video is uploaded. WOW
Same here!
Appreciate the video! I'm watching this during lunch, wearing no shows that slipped off my heel 3 hours ago.
Jose Gutierrez LOL
I'm always amazed at why their are different colors and patterns of no show socks when they are essentially "no show" socks. I just get black , grey or tan ones.
You came to the rescue! Today, I felt frustrated after going through no-show socks slipping down all the time! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this video! Crappy no show socks are the most annoying thing in menswear!
Yessir!!
Im digging American Eagle liner socks. Though they are not as low cut as intended. (which was fine for me) Reasonably priced and especially with holiday pricing and rewarding redemption.
Very informative video. I agree with you, I myself tried different brands, and Bombas is the best. Stance close second for me.
Saves us time and money. Thanks.
Darn tough has a no show, wish it had been included since I've had great experiences with them otherwise.
Wear the Darn Tough no shows and love them
Now you could add Mes Chaussettes Rouges! Just got mine from there, only $15, and they seem pretty sweet.
I completely agree with you regarding Bombas. You have omitted Invisisox purchased through Amazon and my absolute favorites, Stance. The ones to stay away from are by Sperry.
Noted. Definitely missed a couple brands
I see The Kavalier upload, and I like before watching the video :D
LUCRandom Same.
Fashion Tape on the heel does the trick every single time. Tried and tested on Disney trips under all conditions, i.e. rain, sweat, and sunscreen.
Been waiting for a loonnngggg time for this one! Excited!
😊😊😊
Thank you for making this video. I don't even want to think about how much time and effort went into producing it, but it definitely answered my questions... and I will be trying the Bombas socks! Thanks again, and please take care.
I am cheap I like the Converse they pretty good in my opinion
Great thorough presentation. Thanks!
Jon, this is incredible! The amount of research and work you put into these videos is honorable. I've only had one good pair of no shows and that is from 2(x)ist. They're pretty good but like I said, I don't have much to compare them to.
Thank you Demetrios! Didn’t think to check them out but I have some of their undies and I like them. Hopefully this helps many guys!
this guy is freaking amazing!!!!
😎
With this info, I can confidently pick up a pair of Allen Edmonds Grayson tassel loafers and rock the no-sock look for Summer!
Hell yeah. Stylin and profilin’ 😎
Jon, thanks for the video. Over the past couple months I have spent quiet a few bucks trying to get some reliable no-show sock. The always slip of my heel and roll up in my sneakers. I've tried CK, Stanz, and FOTL. I sure will give Bombas a try. Thanks for the info.
Jon my brother! Always have great content! Great job men! I was thinking about buying bombas! But i have mack weldon! ✌️
Do you like them?? How low are your shoes? Thinking of getting some pairs of wheldons
Awesome work! I’m gonna give the bombas a try. Thank you for doing this, and these kind of videos. You are making me spend money, but I have to say when I get a product you suggested , I’m almost always very happy with it
That’s what I love to hear! Always trying my best to steer I’m the right direction!
Thanks for this video! When it gets over 100 degrees here in Az, stocks are always necessary!!!
I hate how no show socks feel on my feel, but the look good, so I chose comfort over the look
None of them stay on my feet because I have a slim heel.
Solid review my man.
Great video Jon! I too was surprised by the GAP. Not bad, but I’ve found they don’t last longer than a couple of years. Defiantly going to pick up some Bombas no shows
Thank you for paying attention to people with non normal widths ie wide or large feet
Got U 👊🏻
I’ve had a good experience with Uniqlo @ 3 for 9.90, I’ve gotten my season of wear through them and should be in your honorable mentions. Weren’t great for cushioning as they’re paper thin but I hate it when there’s additional cushioning in my loafers/leather sneakers
Thanks for the video. Great information. I’m a Bomba man myself but might try others you mentioned.
I'm surprised New Republic no show socks didn't make this list.
This is FIRE! THANK YOU! I wear a 15 so yeah... this is very helpful
Just got my bombas and they’re amazing! Great suggestion!
first, why some dudes who are sneakers freaks or in men’s fashion don’t feature your sock selection. it’s like a taboo. i’m glad you did it. i love wearing the slipper version of the socks. those are socks that hang over your toes only like the bombas. i don’t care. they are socks! here’s a tip for socks that fall off the heel. use elmer’s glue stick and run a film along your heel and it sticks!!
Great review. Appreciate the research you've done on this!
Nice video very well researched and presented and also I didn’t realise you had a few tattoos!
Very nice. Just what I was needing.
You are saving our lives.
I love your videos. I know you've done some before, but here's two things I'd love if you found the time to cover:
1. A full video on stuff you like from Everlane (performance chinos, basic T, etc.)
2. A full video on the best investment basics
💯 both of these are high priorities.
I've only tried Uniqlo and Levis but Levis were way better! I'll look out for Bombas!
Great video as always. Thanks. I only wear merino wool crew socks from brands such as Smartwool and Icebreaker. Just curious if you had any experience with no shows made of wool or a wool blend? I find their wicking capability superior to cotton.
My thoughts as well. I was a bit disappointed that he did not include at least one pair of Merino wool.
I totally agree. Cotton is such an inferior fabric. Wool is the way to go.
The Smartwool no shows fall down so I would avoid that brand. Bombas have a merino wool version but I don't know how they compare with their regular no shows.
Great topic. Great video. I'm a fan of Bombas and Zella.
Invisasox! Get em beats all of these
Tried many no show socks too. My problem is it scrunch up on the heel when I put my shoes on...
Fashion Tape like what women use to keep their bra concealed. Put in on the heel, slide the sock and “place exactly” where you want it and press on.
Morning sunshine,😊 if I want the no show look I just dont wear socks. You covered the hell outta that topic! 😉❤💋
My favorite socks in any style is smartwool!
I find the whole idea of no-show socks to be moot. I use terry cloth or rigid honeycomb shoe insoles, the latter available in Japanese 100 yen stores. Very breathable. removable for washing, and you’re never constantly readjusting your socks when they slip off the heel.
"No-show shocks to be moot" now that's an interesting well debatable topic of discussion or either an issue with semantics. As "Gentleman" we can definitely have a healthy & productive debate. What (🤷🏽♂️) say you?
I’ve also been curious to try some of the cedar wood inserts. I don’t usually wear no shows with my loafers but will wear with some non-leather lined sneakers. 🤷🏻♂️
I will never not wear no show socks. I just don't like the idea of my barefoot inside a shoe. It's the same reason I'll never go without an undershirt. I just don't like the feeling.
Just wait till you buy a silky smooth Lambskin lined shoe. It will change your life.
Anthony C Brown its gross
I use foot powder with no socks whatsoever. Sometimes the top of no-show socks is visible and that really bothers me. Foot powder keeps your feet and shoes smelling nice and reduces chafing at the heel. Try it.
Great video! I will have to try Bombas. I currently have been using invisasox which are pretty decent. I have used ninja sox but did not care for them because they were way to thick in my opinion.
Yes the lightweight bombas are a little lighter than the Ninjasox but the low cut Bombas are much thinner. Love those
I've had good experiences with Miniso; not great quality though, but the work wonders for a good solid amount of wears.
Hey Jon, what was your experience with Stance? I haven't tried as many brands as you show here, but from what I have tried, Stance works perfectly on my feet and stays up without fail.
thought they were okay but for basically the same price Bombas fabric was better. I see Stance and Pair of Thieves praised a lot, but nothing I’d say to stay away from
Love Stance. The only issue I have with them is when wearing driving mocs or topsiders they show a bit. But not with my sneakers
Go watch my feet content please
Great video! By the way boat shoes with ankle socks used to be a thing back in the day LOL
Glad that one got left behind 🤨
Great Thorough review on many no show sock brands Just curious have you done a round up of the best boxer briefs in the same category as you did this video for
Not yet, just pouch underwear so far but that is coming. Was just working on a list yesterday
I might have bought my falke invisible no shows 1 size smaller. It doesn’t slip off if I wear it w/ running shoes/ sneakers, but it does w/ loafers and prolonged use hurts my toes.
The uniqlo 1 size fits all no show socks are more comfortable and doesn’t slip off which is why I think I bought the wrong size falke no shows.
What's your opinion on ESNTLS no show socks? I'm fairly new to no shows. The first pair I tried I went cheap with Walmart and regret it instantly when I put it on. Never did it actually stay on while on my feet for more than two steps. I tried the ESNTLS and they worked well for me.
I was wondering about nodo no show socks especially if use loafer men shoes how they perform?
I loved American Eagle but then they changed their good style. Journey's no show socks also changed and they don't even stay on my feet.
Thanks for a awesome review !!!
Best timing ever! (for north hemisphere at least)
Few weeks later than I was hoping for but still pre-summer!
Did you try the Sperry's no show socks? They've been working well for me, they aren't always super comfortable, though. I'd be interested to see how they stack up to see if I should upgrade my sock game or just stick with these.
please review the New Republic No-Shows. Stitched differently and seem to stay put all the time.
Great review! Thanks.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful. I will try the Pantherella. Watch your videos with pleasure, they are not to long, you have such a calm voice ... and well, you're cute too. Don't blame me for that ;) Wish you a nice day!
I followed the Modest Man's advice last year and went with a three pack of Stomper Joe's from Amazon for $12. They are cotton, stay up without any issues and have held together very well through many washings. I'd be curious to know if those came across your radar since they were Brock's budget pick in a blog post from a year or two ago.
Can’t believe I missed that one. I do remember reading that
Wow!! Great video and content.
Can you tell Bombas to make a version between the regular no-show and the ultra-low no show... the ultra-low is unnecessarily low for most men's loafers (thinking the Fear of God Seventh Collection Loafers or their Zegna collaboration).
Check out Smartwool No Show Socks 👍
Them and Darn Tough. Totally missed
I have used Bombas. Better because of the long staples egyptian cotton. Could be even better if they did not have the extra cushioning-which is not appropriate for the beneficial health of the foot. A MD specializing in this area of the human anatomy could explain why. Also there is no need for an arch support on any sock. Again a MD could explain why.
The back tab on the Bombas could be a little shorter. Overall, I find Bombas sock better, and definitely much more confortable than others I have tried over the recent years. Regardless of price. And more beautiful.
Love the loafers at 9:52 Does anyone know what type they are or where I could get a pair like that?
Don't sleep on Vans brand no show!!!! They work with loafers also. 3 pair for $15-$20
Do they stay up??
@@Kslater23 absolutely!
I could not find if you have one already but maybe you could do one on regular dress socks as well? I love my Bombas extra padding for tennis shoes
Yes 💯
I've got a new republic no show sock and it doesn't stay up very well. I tried it on and walked in the house it was okay, I put my white sneakers on and was leaving and they fell down.
Thanks for this video! Do the Bombas socks leave marks or indentations on the top of your foot if you where them for a while?
I got to say, ESNTLS were not that bad. Definitely stays up, thin for a nice snug shoe BUT it’s not thick enough for a sneaker. That’s probably the only down fall for me... oh and if you sweat then you are doomed lol.✌🏼
I was going to cover them but they’re not always available. Good to know my sweaty feet would not be good in them!
couldn't help to notice your ring/wedding band, where could I find this? do you have a video about men's rings?
Content awesome
You need to get those bunions fixed. Yikes
Any polo shirt guide?
Have you tried Invisasox? I want to see what you think about it. Also Most of these socks are for regular size. I wish they had smaller socks for smaller men's feet.
How about Merino wool no-show socks? Preferably made in USA?
Dead Soxy have an interesting offering. Those are made from bamboo.
Yes! I have a pair but their “one size” really didn’t fit me and made my big toes hurt 🙃
Plus after 2 washes they were fraying more than others so they get the Kav Cold Shoulder here
Great video idea John, really enjoying the podcast as well. A qualm I had was that you didn’t show the socks with the shoes because there’s a myriad of cuts for no show socks. I hate it when too much shows out the top of the forefoot and can be seen if I wear tassel loafers. Just a thought, keep up the great work!
What about Invisasox?
Pair of thieves. What do you think of that brand?
What’s your favorite true no show socks to where with sneakers? I’m currently using stance no shows, but they’re kind of on the thin side. I was looking for something slightly thicker, but still a true no show sock.
Boat shoes are cool. Especially if you’re a villain from an 80s teen movie.
Can you review Velasca shoes?
