How should I wash these socks?
Machine wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low to preserve the compression and material integrity.
Does the 8-inch length provide shin protection?

Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during rides
Ensure the rib knit upper is pulled high enough and that no fabric softener has been used, as this can make the fibers too slippery to grip the skin.
Feeling too tight at the ankle
The compression fit is intentional for performance. If irritation occurs, ensure the sock is not twisted and verify that your shoe volume is not set too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the rib knit cuff is pulled up evenly over the calf to maintain compression and security. These socks are designed to be compatible with most standard mountain bike and flat-pedal shoes. To maximize the longevity of the nylon fabric, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, as these can compromise the compression integrity. It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers.
