The word "no-show" in the title is really misleading. The entire cuff is over the top of my shoes. However, the fit is great. I wear these socks all day, every day, whether I'm running or not. I really like the longitudinal elastic bands around the middle of the foot; This prevents the sock from sagging off the arch of the foot and reduces the chance of blisters. Also, it helps that the healing cup doesn't move around during the day. They wick sweat well even in the high humidity in Florida. Note: I use fabric softener when washing these socks and this known fabric softener can affect sweat absorption/wicking. Not sure how that affects comfort, but these socks probably work better without fabric softener.
