what socks you all wear, got my free pair of hargreaves with my June issue of cycling plus, average quality bit small, and it got me thinking what everyone wears, I bought some from lidl the cheap food shop they where 2.50 a pair and are the best cycling socks I have, metatarsal support, slight padding on the ankle and tougher parts on the tour and heel, for the money unbelievable value. they even have a R and L to tell you what foot to put them on lol. the top price ones of about twenty quid don’t look as good.

recommendations?

One of the best pairs I have comes from a Cycling Weekly Sportive freebie.

I have some Wooly Bully De-feet socks, and the rest are Castelli.

My only cycling specific socks are some Galibier ones. Due to rather cold feet and a very British spring, I often resort to whatever wool socks I have to hand.

slightly off topic but I don’t want to start another thread, I wear shimano r087 shoes, does anyone know the the hole in the sole near the front is for? apart from allowing water in and cold air that numbs your toes lol, and do the majority of clip in shoes have that hole?

I may ” accidentally” break my shoes and ” hey love my shoes are broken, I need a new pair but I know you don’t mind because I am saving two grand a year by cycling rather than driving” lol

Assos in the summer, I like the colour and design, and M&S Black long ones in the winter, rolled down if I have leg showing, to keep me warm and snug!

By all means upgrade your components but what sock your wearing doesn’t matter.i wear plain black socks but I have memory foam insoles under my shoe insoles and it gives me total comfort and reduces road buzz

I like the L and R on my Aldi socks so much that I have copied the idea onto my shoes.

Used to wear short trainer socks from Decathlon but stumped up some money for the Road.cc ones. Quality socks and they don’t look too shabby either.

I was surprised to find that the free socks from cp fitted. I have rather large feet. Been washed twice and still fit. I have two pairs of Bike Pure and two of ShuttVR all white.

I’ve been wearing the free
I’ve been wearing the free socks from Cycling Plus (Scott, Wiggle and now Hargreaves)as regular socks with jeans and regular shoes. They might be free, but I don’t like black socks on the bike (too Lance!) and won’t advertise brands I don’t use. Alright, I do use Wiggle quite a lot, but if they want me to advertise them on my bike, they should pay me.

Currently, I wear Sidi socks to match my shoes, or Pinerello socks to match my bike, or blue Endura socks to match my blue Endura club kit.
