The Best Socks to Wear With Flats, Based on Reviews
The easiest way to extend the lifecycle of your favorite flats is to wear them with socks. Why? Because your feet are less likely to sweat as much (or as fast), and as such, an unpleasant odor will not build up as fast. What's more, socks, especially those lined with gels pads, will prevent feet from slipping back and forth while walking.

Top Review: "I have purchased many no-show socks in the past since I am constantly wearing flats and loafers, however, the majority, if not all, of the socks always tend to show anyway. That said, it was always a struggle to wear my flats until I found Vero Monte no-show socks!! These are absolutely the best, the fabric is not seen at all, they are soft and comfortable to wear, and the back of the sock has a no-slip guard. I love these and would purchase again in the future."
Top Review: "These are magic. I've hated wearing flats because the little no-show socks that are made for flats slide off my heel and under my foot within three steps. The little gel pads make a world of difference! I've worn these all day with no slipping. It's exciting to be able to wear cute flats without the frustration of socks that won't stay still. They seem to hold up just fine through wash and dry as well. I've washed mine several times now, and the little gel pads work just as well."
