Men’s Cycling Socks
Light, fast, and dialed for the spin. Our men’s cycling socks manage sweat, protect high‑wear zones, and lock in comfort so you can forget your feet and stay on the gas—road, gravel, or indoors.
Choose Your Sock
Ultralight: maximum airflow for heat and high‑intensity efforts.

Temperature Guide
75°F+: ultralight, thin‑gauge socks for maximum ventilation.
60–75°F: lightweight socks that wick fast without extra bulk.
45–60°F: midweight or Merino‑blend for steady warmth that still breathes.
30–45°F: thermal socks + shoe covers to block wind and spray.
Below 30°F: heavy thermal or double up with weatherproof overshoes from Men’s Wet Weather.
Wet or windy? Bump up one level and add a seam‑sealed shell from Wet Weather.
Fabric & Cushioning
Synthetics: top‑tier moisture management and fast dry times for hard efforts.
Merino blends: odor‑resistant comfort across variable temps.
Cushion: minimal for direct shoe feel; targeted under‑foot padding for rough gravel or long days.
Height & Use
Tall crew: coverage and calf support on road and gravel.
Mid crew: everyday training and mixed‑surface rides.
Low / no‑show: indoor sessions and max ventilation.
Fit & Sizing — Dial It In
Socks should fit close without bunching; heels and toes align cleanly with no slip. Match thickness to shoe volume and use our Size & Fit Guide if you’re between sizes.
FAQ
Are cycling‑specific socks worth it?
Yes—cycling socks prioritize moisture movement, thin‑gauge yarns for precise shoe fit, and targeted support where it counts.
Wool in summer?
Merino blends can breathe year‑round and resist odor—great for travel and long days—while synthetics excel in peak heat.
How should I care for cycling socks?
Turn inside out, wash cold, and air‑dry to preserve elasticity and fit.
