And you didn't find it showed through too much on the "right" side? Someone recommended to me once that I should knit the heel and then use a needle to thread the reinforcing thread through the backs of each row... that seemed like too much work to me, though.
It doesn't show through that much. I can see it clearly, but people who don't know what they're looking for don't seem to see it. Also, I picked a thread that is close to one of the blues in the yarn, so it blends in well. Threading the...thread...(repetition sounds so weird to me) through the backs of each row does sound like an awful lot of work when you could just pick a well-matching thread color.
How did you add the reinforcing thread to your sock heel?

I just picked it up at the begining of the heel and knit it along with the yarn. And dropped it once the heel was done.
