Want to add a splash of colour to your bike rides while keeping your feet comfortable? Here are some of the best cycling socks for the job...
Nothing, obviously!Designed by us and produced by cycling apparel specialists Primal, the road.cc socks are tall-cuff and medium weight, just the ticket for adding a dash of style to any bike ride. They're the easiest way to get some classic road.cc argyle in your life, help support the site and are available in black or white to match almost any kit ensemble.
Unfortunately at the time of writing we've only got S/M sizes left but we will be restocking again soon.If you cycle anything more than an occasional few miles then yes, it's a no-brainer to invest in some cycling-specific socks. As you might have guessed, cycling socks are specifically made for cycling and the shape has been designed to support your foot, but remain breathable inside cycling shoes.
Cycling socks have natural moisture-wicking properties and the fit is close-fitting to avoid any kind of rubbing and blisters. All this said, you can get away with using other sports socks, such as running or hiking socks. Some of the sock choices are down to style, so if you really like your regular cotton socks, no one is saying you should not wear them. They will likely just be less comfortable compared to a well-fitting, breathable pair of cycling socks.Somehow this is a subject that actually generates some quite serious debate among cyclists...
Generally, you don't see cyclists with over-the-calf cyclists unless it's winter, and white socks are preferred by road cyclists, especially in the summer. Another practical reason for wearing higher socks is to stop your lower legs getting dirty when riding on dusty or muddy gravel or towpaths. Otherwise, it's really a stylistic issue rather than to do with performance, so ride in whatever sock length you wish.
