Trainer liners that do not show in the shoe

Short answer: A liner should sit below the shoe edge all the way round. That takes a low cut at the front and a rubber grip at the heel.

What decides whether they show

The cut at the front by the toes and how high the back edge sits. A liner made for a ballet flat is cut lower at the front than one for a trainer. Choose by the shoe rather than by the name.

The rubber grip at the heel

A narrow strip of rubber inside the heel is what keeps the sock up. Without it the liner slips off within minutes however well it fits. See bamboo trainer liners for women.

The size

A liner has to sit tight. Choose the smaller size in your range if in doubt. See bamboo trainer liners for men and bamboo trainer socks for women.

Frequently asked questions

Why do liners slip off

Either the rubber grip is missing or the size is too big.

Can you use them with all shoes

No. Choose the cut according to the height of the shoe at the front.

Do they wear out faster

Yes, because they are thinner and have less fabric to spread the wear.
