Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Castelli Espresso 18 Socks, it is recommended to machine wash them at a low temperature (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the technical moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry the socks; avoid tumble drying, as the heat can degrade the elasticity of the fabric over time. These socks are compatible with all standard road and mountain bike cycling shoes, fitting seamlessly into a performance-oriented cycling kit.
