Cycling Socks
Small piece, big difference. Our cycling socks keep feet dry, steady, and focused—fast-wicking yarns, targeted breathability, and just-right compression that disappears in the spin. From ultralight summer bike socks to warm merino cycling socks for cold starts, pick the pair that matches your ride and conditions.
Choose Your Sock
Summer / lightweight: thin, quick-dry mesh zones for max airflow on hot, high-tempo days.
Merino / wool: naturally breathable and odor-resistant with steady comfort across changing temps.
Thermal: thicker knits trap warmth for shoulder season and winter miles—pair with men’s / women’s shoe covers when it’s truly cold.
Tall vs. quarter / no-show: taller crews add coverage and a locked-in feel; shorter heights maximize airflow and minimal weight.
Fit & Construction
Snug arch support reduces slip and hot spots; flat toe seams prevent rubbing; reinforced heel/toe boosts durability; cuffs stay put without squeeze. Between sizes? Check our Size & Fit Guide.

FAQ
Do cycling socks really matter vs. regular socks?
Yes. Ride-specific yarns and knit structures move sweat, reduce bulk in shoes, and resist bunching—more comfort and fewer hot spots.
Merino or synthetic?
Merino blends shine across variable temps and multi-day use; synthetics excel at max wicking in peak heat and indoor training.
How tall should my bike socks be?
Choose what feels best: taller crews offer a secure, modern feel and light protection; shorter cuffs keep things minimal in summer.
Care tips?
Wash cold, skip fabric softener, and air-dry to preserve elasticity and wicking.
