Best Cycling Socks
When you hop on the saddle you know you’re in for a crazy ride, but not without the right socks! Whether you prefer single tracks, rugged riding or long ribbons of road, we stock the perfect socks for every kind of cyclist, so we’ve rounded up the best ones to keep your feet comfortable on your ride.
Cycling shoes are supposed to fit very snug and not have a lot of room for your feet to move around, which is why most cycling socks offer light cushioning (to allow room for the sock in your shoe, but not allow for room to move your foot). If you’re pedaling for miles you’re going to want a sock that’s durable and breathable. All of our cycling socks feature breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics to keep your feet dry, comfortable, and free from sweat. They also offer protection against the elements (especially if you’re riding the trails).
While some of our cycling socks also feature compression for optimum performance, all of them have padding and blister prevention for comfort, as well as antimicrobial properties to repel bacteria and odor when you're laying down the miles.
