Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend or a bit earlier. Five of the better sales are below, plus bonus sales if need be. Included are a few picks worth pointing out. [J. Crew: Up to 40% off select summer styles]( [J. Crew menswear]( - [Slim garment-dyed slub cotton crewneck T-shirt – $19.50]( ($29.50) lots of colors - [Suede and leather reversible belt – $49.50]( ($79.50) - [Wallace & Barnes Copilot sunglasses – $49.50]( ($79.50) - [Wallace & Barnes single-prong buckle leather belt – $44.50]( ($69.50) - [Slub Jersey Polo Shirt in Yarn-dyed Stripe – $29.50]( ($49.50) - [770 Straight-fit tech pant – $64.50]( ($89.50) Cotton/nylon/elastane this year, not all poly - [484 Slim-fit tech pant – $64.50]( ($89.50) Cotton/nylon/elastane this year, not all poly A nice sale. Not great. Select items and the discounts seem to range in the 25% off – 40% range. Might be worth waiting until the long weekend lurking towards the end of this month if you’re so inclined. BUT. Those garment dyed slub cotton tees are getting a discount this time around. They’ve been (oddly) excluded from many a code as of late. [Allen Edmonds: New additions to sale/quiet $199 sale]( [Allen Edmonds Shoes]( - [Cornwallis Dress Oxford – $199.97]( ($395) - [Williamsburg Chukka Boot – $199.97]( ($445) - [Lake Forest Penny Loafer – $199.97]( ($395) - [Alpine Cap-Toe Boot with Vibram Arctic Grip Rubber Sole – $199.97]( ($445) - [Park Avenue Cap-Toe Oxford – $199.97]( ($395) Almost ran a steal alert about this when it launched Tuesday… but I figured you guys have been beaten over the head with the Anniversary Sale for almost a month. So… yeah. Didn’t want to become an annoyance. Anyway, these should be first quality, ships and returns for free, no re-stocking fee items. Not a ton at $199 (picks above are pretty much it) but still. Not bad at all. [Huckberry: 15% off 365 shorts when you buy two (7″ or 9″ inseams)]( [Huckberry 365 shorts]( - [365 Shorts 9″ inseam – $54]( per / $108 total if you buy two (Normally $64 per/$128 for two) - [365 Shorts 7″ inseam – $54]( per / $108 total if you buy two (Normally $64 per/$128 for two) One of Huckberry’s all time bestsellers. The 365 pants… in shorts form. Garment dyed. Pre shrunk. 98% cotton and 2% spandex. Not cheap, but a favorite of plenty. Gotta buy a couple (a pair of pairs?) to get the discount. But being that it’s Huckberry, who doesn’t discount much at all, it’s a good deal if you’re looking for new shorts and want to give the 365 a shot. [Black Lapel: “Wedding Week” Sale]( [Black Lapel tuxedos and suits]( - [Midnight Blue Tuxedo – $529]( ($599) - [Black Tuxedo with Peak Lapel – $529]( ($599) - [Super 150s Italian Wool Dark Gray Tuxedo – $899]( ($1099) - [Baltic Blue Fresco Suit – $529]( ($599) Black Lapel is pretty well liked around these parts. They’re the rare online custom outfit that seems to deliver what they promise. No weirdly chopped suit jackets. No odd fabrics. Good stuff, dialed in, and as long as you don’t blow it with inputting your measurements, posture, etc… the suit should come out pretty dang good looking. See [here for their Flawless Fit Promise and their alterations/remakes/return policy](. 20 different Wedding day outfits are getting some nice savings this week. Sale ends Monday. [Ebbets Field Flannels: 20% off sitewide w/ FD21](  The Pick: [Made in the USA New York Knights 1939 Vintage Ballcap (adjustable fit) – $39.20]( ($49) they also have [the wool jersey]( for those who are super Roy Hobbs fans. Made in the USA hats, flannels, hockey sweaters, and more. Baseball and baseball hat season is here, and Father’s day is on the way. Only exclusion is NFL stuff. Code ends today (5/6). And just a heads up, if you’re going the made to order route on something with them, they gotta know in order to expedite that work: With so many items made-to-order, we want to make sure your gift arrives by Father’s Day, June 20, so if you need your order to arrive before Father’s Day, please note “Father’s Day” in the special instructions section at checkout. Also worth a mention: - [Todd Snyder]( They just dropped [a bunch of new arrivals](. Spendy stuff though. Be warned. ff/Dappered?a=pONQAzyNlqE:nWeLBWFmhOk:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=pONQAzyNlqE:nWeLBWFmhOk:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=pONQAzyNlqE:nWeLBWFmhOk:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Bombas, Lululemon, Smartwool and More: 12 of the Best Men’s No-Show Socks, Reviewed](r/Dappered/~3/rtUq23puYYk/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 05 May 2021 08:00 AM PDT Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. No-shows have come a long way in the last few years. Fabric, cushioning, and most importantly, heel grip engineering have really changed. For any no-show wearers out there, you’ll know the heel makes or breaks the socks. If the heel can’t be trusted, the rest of the sock could be solid gold and it wouldn’t matter. There’s tons of options here, from expensive to dirt cheap, and you’ll probably be surprised by some of the best. Scoring: We’re taking a page from [our shoe expert Adam’s]( Review Scale of Excellence (A.R.S.E.). Scores are rated from 1-5, with 5 being excellent. Also noted are whether or not they “show” when worn with two pairs of common summer shoes: Converse Chuck Taylors, and Boat shoes. Also noted is whether they stay on your feet when you take off your shoes, or alternatively give up the ghost and end up in a crumpled ball. YMMV, of course. Fit/Sizing Reference: I ([Ryan]() wear a 9 in most shoes, and my [Brannock]( size is a 9 Left, 9.5 Right. I would say my feet are average to slightly-smaller-than average. RETURNS NOTE/WARNING: Just a reminder that socks are like underwear. Most socks are not returnable once worn and “tested out,” depending on the retailer. For that reason, we’ll do our best to cover all aspects of size, fit, and note the return policy info we found for each pair. We bought a lot of bloody socks for this post so you, hopefully, can avoid some no-returns mistakes. [Bombas Performance Cushioned No-Show Socks – $16]( [Bombas Performance Cushioned No-Show Socks]( - Material: 66% Polyester / 21% Nylon / 12% Cotton / 1% Spandex - Size Tested: Medium (6-9). Also made in Large (9.5-13) and XL (13.5-16) - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 5 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Medium - Best for: Sneakers, workouts - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Free returns with free shipping, for ANY reason, forever. Don’t abuse this! You really can’t talk socks these days without leading off with Bombas. They’re changing the game. At $15+ a pair, these Bombas are not cheap. But do they deliver? In a word, YES. They’ve really taken design from the ground up to make some of the most comfortable socks I’ve ever worn, and that no-seam toe is the real deal. In their cushioned performance option, Bombas “upgraded them with special performance yarns that wick away moisture.. and added breathable perforations” that make them workout-ready. There’s also only padding where you need it, so the overall feel is lighter but still cushioned. They claim the silicone heel grips will stay up no matter where you are in your workout, run, or game. Given their 100% satisfaction guarantee (even if you lose them, destroy them, etc.), it’s hard to say they aren’t worth the money. [Bombas Lightweight Merino Wool No-Show Socks – $15]( [Bombas Lightweight Merino Wool No-Show Socks]( - Material: 76% Wool / 20% Polyester / 2% Spandex / 2% Nylon - Size Tested: Medium (6-9). Also made in Large (9.5-13) and XL (13.5-16) - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 5 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Sneakers, workouts - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Free returns with free shipping, for ANY reason, forever. I was originally going to combine the two Bombas offerings, but they’re different enough that they need to be separated out. Merino wool is a jack of all trades when it comes to moisture wicking and temperature regulation. Flat lock toe seam for comfort, and the merino is the real deal. No cotton in the blend, either. Maybe 2/3 the weight of the Performance variant, if not less? Excellent. And if you’re starting to accumulate quite the Bombas collection? They even tag each style along the ankle band ([“MED MERINO,” in this case](). Super smart, in case you have the same color in multiple material types. [Smartwool Sneaker Cushion No-Show Socks – $15.95]( [Smartwool Sneaker Cushion No-Show Socks]( - Size: L (9-11.5). Also made in S (6-8.5) and XL (12-14.5) - Material: 71% Wool / 28% Nylon / 1% Elastane - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 5 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Medium - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show (mostly) - Boat shoes test: Does not show (mostly) - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Free returns, 30 days unwashed/unworn (Amazon standard policy) Smartwool seems to carry two different styles – one [thinner, less-cushioned version](003873:052:l::1:), and a thicker, cushioned, sneaker-ready pair. This would be the cushioned pair. Arguably the sweet spot of materials, this is one of just a few pairs on our list with no cotton whatsoever. [Solid heel grip pad](. Only thing to dislike is that the heel does show a little bit on both chucks and boat shoes. That’s a deal-killer for many, being that no-shows are supposed to be, y’know, no-showing. [Pair of Thieves No-Show Socks – $14.99 / 3 pack]( [Pair of Thieves No-Show Socks]( - Size: OS (8-12) - Material: 79% Combed Cotton / 15% Nylon / 3% Other Fiber / 2% Spandex / 1% Natural Latex Rubber - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 4 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: 101 days “No Regrets Guarantee” – free returns, no questions asked, any condition When you bill your product as “the most perfect no-show socks on the planet,” you’d better be ready to back that up. And to their credit, these are some excellent socks. The designs are fun, and since they don’t show under any of our test shoes, they’re just for you to know about. Strangely, Pair of Thieves had a whole bunch of individual pairs available for purchase not too long ago.. but now, it seems like [they’re only offering 3-packs](. Tested out a pair in “the grid” design shown above, but those are out of stock at post time. Of note about the single pair was the [extremely off-center heel grips](. Like, not in a left-foot-right-foot kind of way, either, but not particularly noticeable in daily use. And the pattern, [while cool](, is nowhere close to [what was, at the time represented online](. Like, c’mon guys. Perhaps some production issues led them to stop the individual units? [Pair of Thieves Cushioned No-Show Socks (Target, 3-Pack) – $14.99]( [Pair of Thieves Cushioned No-Show Socks]( - Size: OS (8-12) - Material (Pair 1 & 2): 77% Cotton / 19% Polyester / 2% Spandex / 2% Rubber - Material (Pair 3): 48% Cotton / 48% Polyester / 2% Spandex / 2% Rubber - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 5 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: 90 days unwashed/unworn (Target standard policy) The big question is.. how does Target’s version of the Pair of Thieves sock compare to the direct product? It’s hard to say if it’s the exact same product. The material makeup is virtually identical (more on that in a minute, though), and the feel is just about the same. Now about that material.. in this 3-pack, the packaging notes that “pairs 1 & 2” have a 77%-19% cotton-poly blend, but “pair 3” has an even 48%-48% cotton-poly blend.. yet doesn’t specify which pair is which! Extremely confusing. Given that this was two navy pairs and a light gray pair, I have to assume the gray pair is the even split, though I couldn’t really feel a difference between the 3 when worn. So, while these are a great value, if I’m going by gut feel, I give the slightest edge to [the brand pair]( over these from Target. [Target Goodfellow No-Show Liner Sock (3-Pack) – $9.99]( [Target Goodfellow No-Show Liner Sock]( - Size: OS (6-12) - Material: 53% Cotton / 34% Polyester / 9% Nylon / 4% Spandex - Overall fit: 4 - Heel slip confidence: 2 - Comfort: 3 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Boat shoes - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Fail - Returnable: 365 days unwashed/unworn (Target standard policy) Not gonna be winners for most. Stretchy, relatively comfortable, and fits pretty well. But the heels. Nope. The heel on these, at least to me, is a bit wonky, and I don’t [trust the gel strips](. If I so much as pull gently on the heel, it slides straight off my ankle with no real grab to speak of, which is disappointing. They’re minimally-padded, making them a better option for boat shoes and loafers than athletics. [Adidas Superlite Stripe Super No-Show Socks (3-Pack) – $13+]( [Adidas Superlite Stripe Super No-Show Socks]( - Size: OS (6-12) - Material: 96% Polyester / 2% Spandex / 2% Natural Latex Rubber - Overall fit: 4 - Heel slip confidence: 1 - Comfort: 4 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Fail - Returnable: Free returns, 30 days unwashed/unworn (Amazon standard policy) It’s a shame, too, because I wanted to like these. Reviews are quite solid, but I just can’t recommend something [without a heel grip](, y’all. Almost exclusively poly construction with a little spandex for stretch, so they were super comfortable when I slipped them on, even with a rangy 6-12 shoe size window. The price was all the way down to $8 for a 3-pack when I bought, but seems to be hovering in the $13s range now for all colorways. I’d prefer the Pair of Thieves trio at that price, but these would probably take it if they had a heel grip. Any heel grip. [Nordstrom Zella Run Liner Sock (3-Pack) – $15]( [Nordstrom Zella Run Liner Sock]( - Size: M (9-12) - Material: 78% Nylon / 19% Ionic+ Polyester / 3% Spandex - Overall fit: 4 - Heel slip confidence: 3 - Comfort: 4 - Padding: Light - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Fail (in this case, the heel bunched [while putting the shoe ON]() - Returnable: Yes, standard Nordstrom returns policy Another pair I wanted to like, but the heel was, well, the Achilles’ Heel. While it does provide grip, it’s positioned FAR too low to function properly, almost ON your heel itself rather than on your ankle. Rather than right on the ankle loop, it’s almost an inch below it.. nonsensical, really. Why reinvent the wheel? And it’s a shame, because if the gel was properly placed, these would be an excellent budget option. But as it is, they bunch going INTO my shoes, making for uncomfortable adjusting straight away. Another near-miss. [Nordstrom (Women’s, whoops) Zella No-Show Socks (3-Pack) – $25]( [Nordstrom Zella No-Show Socks]( - Size: (Womens 9-12) - Material: 98% Nylon, 2% Spandex - Overall fit: 3 - Heel slip confidence: 3 - Comfort: 3 - Padding: Medium - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Yes, standard Nordstrom returns policy Oops. Throwing these in here just so you don’t make the same mistake I did when searching – these are women’s, and it doesn’t say that anywhere on the listing. If there are any Dappered ladies out there interested, these don’t appear to share the heel grip issue as the mens’ pairs, so might be worth it! [J.Crew Performance No-Show Socks – $10]( [J.Crew Performance No-Show Socks]( - Size: S/M (7-9). Also made in L/XL (10-13) - Material: 40% Polyester / 39% Cotton / 18% Polyamide (Nylon) / 3% Elastane - Overall fit: 4 - Heel slip confidence: 3 - Comfort: 4 - Padding: Minimal - Best for: Sneakers - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: 30 days unwashed/unworn, in-store returns free, mail returns $7.50 (yeesh) I just didn’t find anything really remarkable about these socks. The Small/Medium fit me well enough, but a little less snug that I would have preferred, given I’m on the larger end of their 7-9 size chart. The synthetic-forward blend should benefit breathability, but they weren’t exceedingly comfortable, on the thinner side, and with a price per pair not much less than far-superior options. Hard to recommend at MSRP. [BEST BUDGET: Gap No-Show Socks (2-Pack) – $15.95]( [Gap No-Show Socks]( - Size: OS (no sizes given) - Material: 86% Cotton, 12% Polyester, 2% Spandex/Elastane - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 4 - Comfort: 4 - Padding: Medium - Best for: Sneakers, Boat shoes - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Free returns, 45 days unwashed/unworn One of the surprises of the bunch for me, and I was as skeptical as you may be. Gap? Cotton socks? Bleh. BUT, with a pair currently in hand (in foot?), these are super comfortable, cushion-y, and stay on my heel better than most things I’ve put on my feet for <$10 thanks to [the super-wide heel grip](. Yes, they may lack the bells, whistles and big tech of other brands, but you get a pretty solid bang for your buck here, especially when they go on sale. Given the cotton-heavy construction, you might want to ditch these on the sweltering-hot days for something with more tech. But for most spring days and cooler summer nights? They’re great. [BEST IN SHOW: Lululemon Power Stride with Active Grip and Performa Heel (3 pack) – $38]( [Lululemon Power Stride with Active Grip and Performa Heel]( - Size: M (6-9). Also made in L (9.5-12) and XL (12.5 – 14) - Material: 94% Nylon, 6% Lycra Elastane - Overall fit: 5 - Heel slip confidence: 5 - Comfort: 5 - Padding: Light - Best for: Sneakers, boat shoes - Chucks test: Does not show - Boat shoes test: Does not show - Shoe removal test: Pass - Returnable: Free returns, 30 days unwashed/unworn Well, that’s a mouthful, but in my opinion, these are 1000% worth the money. After wearing them for most of a day with no slip, I thought, how far can these go? So I slept in them. To my utter disbelief, they were locked on my feet come morning. What? How is that even possible? Answer? The Active Grip heel strip. It locks onto your skin and won’t let go. [For real](. The proprietary “PerformaHeel” shape is 3D knit with dual yarns to provide stretch and integrated micro-cushioning, and it all combines to create a shaped fit that stays put. It really is the best heel shape that I found, with the lowest amount of non-reinforced stitches at the deepest part of the heel pocket. Toes are seamless, and actually shaped differently – they provide a left and [right sock]( (called ErgoToes) so that you don’t continually stretch out certain points of the toe by alternating. Our feet are shaped differently, after all! Definitely the most complete package if you want to go spendy. [WORST IN SHOW: Amazon Goodthreads Standard No-Show Socks (5-Pack) – $12+]( [Amazon Goodthreads Standard No-Show Socks]( - Size: “OS” (8-12) hahahahaahhahah - Material: 72% Cotton / 27% Nylon / 1% Elastane - Overall fit: 2 - Heel slip confidence: 1 - Comfort: 2 - Padding: None - Best for: Boat shoes, larger feet, actual boats - Chucks test: Shows - Boat shoes test: Shows - Shoe removal test: Fail - Returnable: Free returns, 30 days unwashed/unworn (Amazon standard policy) One size? I’m honestly not sure who these are for. [Ridiculously]( stretchy. Ludicrously stretchy. I mean, c’mon y’all, [THEY FIT OVER MY STAN SMITHS](. It felt like I was putting on clean-room booties in a chemistry lab. My nurse wife said she might borrow them to use at the hospital. There was no sense of snugness on my feet, and the heels felt like they’d come off at any moment. Most of these socks I gave at least an hour of wear to get a feel for how the heel would hold, how the comfort would mature, but I couldn’t even give these 10 minutes before I wanted them off my feet. Even at the rock-bottom price per pair, skip these.
