Troubleshooting
Socks sliding down during a ride.
Ensure the socks are pulled up fully to the top of the calf. Check that the fit is snug. If issues persist, consider if the sock size is appropriate for your leg circumference.
Feet feel too hot.
While designed for breathability, in extreme heat, ensure your cycling shoes also have adequate ventilation. The sock's nylon blend is designed to wick moisture.
Material feels rough after washing.
Avoid high heat when drying. Air drying or low tumble heat is recommended. Do not use harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the elastane.
