Hand-linked Toe

To ensure that a Balega sock is as seamless as possible the toes of the product are handlinked.  This means that the operator realigns the sock at the toe to make sure that the machine sews it up properly.  Every sock is done this way.  Most other brands just run the entire process through a machine.

The operator pays close attention to the seam and in the end it lays flat and feels smooth so that a runner doesn't get blisters.  Amazing.

This is a Hidden Comfort (gray).  One of my favorites.
