The headache of wearing most heels (and flats, honestly) is that they usually rub the skin, causing your toes and heels to blister. An ultra low-cut no-show sock is a smart solution to that problem, since they create a barrier between your foot and the shoe. But finding the right liner is a challenge, when most slip right off. “Look, no sock can make me truly enjoy wearing heels and flats, but the Sheec at least makes the experience way more bearable,” says Griggs. “I was blown away that these itsy-bitsy liners were grippy enough around the back and toes that they never slipped off, despite practically only outlining their shape. Do you know how hard that is to find in a low-cut no-show sock?? They fit perfectly under my ballet flats (pictured) and are even low-cut enough to work under heels, too. I didn’t wind up with the skin irritation that I usually do.” The Sheecs come in four different cuts—we tested the ultra-low, which are excellent for heels with deep cuts. (The low-cut seems like a good option for flats, loafers, and boat shoes, if you’d like a tad more top-of-the-foot coverage.)
