Can you wear socks with flats?
Flats have become a staple in women’s fashion, from classic ballet styles to Mary Janes. However, during warmer months, these stylish and comfy shoes can sometimes become more of a slippery hassle—especially for those with sweaty feet.
Ever thought if wearing socks with flats could help tackle the sweat and odor? Most no-show socks either slip off or peek out, making it tricky to keep a clean look. But worry not—keep reading to discover why FLAT SOCKS® are the ultimate no-show socks for flats that stay put and do the job right.

Types of Socks for Ballet Flats
Believe it or not, flats aren’t meant to be worn without socks. Just like Crocs™ paired with socks became a trend, wearing socks with ballet flats can also make a statement. Consider the “old money” aesthetic of white ankle socks paired with Mary Janes.
Some of the best types of socks to wear with women’s flats include:
- No-show or liner socks
- Crew socks
- Knee highs
- Tights
- Wool socks
- Ruffled socks
What’s the issue with most of these styles? No-show socks tend to slip off your feet and bunch up, forcing you to constantly readjust. Tights can slide around, while socks with full foot coverage—like crew socks, knee highs, and wool socks—can get warm and be difficult to style. The perfect solution? A pair of FLAT SOCKS® that blend seamlessly with your flat shoes.
What Makes FLAT SOCKS the Best
The name says it all—FLAT SOCKS® are the best socks for flats, staying in place without slipping, showing, or causing odors. Comfortable, seamless, and shaped like a shoe insert, these socks go inside your shoes, not on your feet. They’re also machine washable and dryer safe.
Thanks to their slim design, grippy bottom, and moisture-wicking, odor-fighting features, FLAT SOCKS® are the ultimate solution for flats. Choose your favorite design, trim them to your size, and slip them into any pair of ballet flats, slip-ons, loafers, or flatforms.
How to Wear Socks with Flats
Your style is personal, which means choosing colors, prints, and patterns that make you feel good. FLAT SOCKS® come in a variety of designs, from solid colors to animal prints, florals, and even faux fur.
If you’re wondering how to pair socks with ballet flats, here are a few tips to style your FLAT SOCKS® effortlessly:
- Opt for neutral shades like Heather Grey or Sand for a polished look, whether you’re at the office or presenting in class. These shades keep your feet dry, especially for those who tend to sweat when nervous.
- Add a pop of personality to your flats or vintage loafers with floral designs such as Peachy Rose or Floral Embroidery. Bold patterns like Bleach Please can give your flats a trendy and unique vibe.

While FLAT SOCKS® aren’t the only socks you can wear with flats, they are the most versatile. If you need extra cushion and odor control, consider layering traditional socks with FLAT SOCKS® for maximum comfort.
