    What are your favourite pair of socks for the summer days?

    I used to wear Castelli socks before getting a nice new pair of shoes, which fit perfectly apart from being slightly too big in the buckle area which means I have to crank it to max to be snug (the next size down was too small in other areas). Are there any lightweight summer socks with a slightly thicker section across the “groin” of the foot? I find no problems ratcheting my winter socks to a comfortable level.

    Socks is one of the areas
    Socks is one of the areas where I’m not too picky about. I just like them to not go too far up my leg, but any thickness really is fine for me, I don’t find it affects me.

    Although I don’t exactly wear woolly ones!

    I believe it is commonly called the ‘arch’ of the foot, or even the sole, not the groin.

    I love my DeFeet Woolie
    I love my DeFeet Woolie Boolie merino socks all year round – thicker, but being merino it works for both colder and summer riding, maybe not for the hottest days, but then we only get those twice a year.

    DHB summer socks, not too low
    DHB summer socks, not too low not too high, squeeze your foot in the right places and perfect for 3 of 4 seasons 😀

    The DHB ones are a bit thicker than my Mavic summer socks also so they might be right up your street 🙂

    Oh and of course, super cheap! 🙂
