De Feet have spent years developing the perfect cycling sock...the leviator is not just a tube of woven threads, but a meticulously constructed series of panels which all have specific stretch and cushioning properties depending on their relative position...the result is a sock that will make your cycling shoes (and almost any other shoe) feel more comfortable, as your foot is flexing, breathing and cushioning better than ever before.
A small price to pay for blissful feet
These are really comfortable socks and it's amazing how much technology Teutonic clothing meister X-Bionic can squeeze into a humble sock.The Biking Ultra Lights are made from lightweight wicking yarn with mesh channels running through the sock to keep your feet sweat-free.Padded areas for the heel, toes and instep are designed to protect you from pressure points and skin irritation, while the socks also feature compressive sections to provide support for the ankle.The long and the short of it is these are darn comfy socks.If you're used to wearing tight-fitting shoes and thin socks, all that padding may feel like it's squeezing your toes.The prominent bright orange detailing won't be to everyone's taste, either.If you love comfy feet, or you like to blind others with stories about your socks, you need a pair of these.
Great performance sock that's comfortable and supportive
Mmmm, new socks. Everyone likes new socks and these new Summer Socks from dhb are just the job. Lots of cycling socks are of the ultra-thin variety. You know the ones; the section on top of your foot is so fine you can see your toes through it, and the soles are just a bit thicker. DeFeet's Air-e-ator design is like that, for example, and it shifts sweat well and keeps your feet cool...These socks are a little more substantial over your foot. They're actually lighter than the pair of Air-e-ators I hooked out of the drawer, but the foot section is less of a mesh and feels like it has more body to it. There's quite a lot of cotton in here (40%; 50% polyester, 7% nylon, 3% elastane), and that ups the volume a bit.Cotton? In cycling kit? Well, Coolmax fibres in the weave help shift moisture away from your skin and I haven't noticed any undue sweatiness while wearing these. My feet have stayed a perfectly comfortable temperature in these too, even on the warmest rides; they've felt great.Whereas many cycling socks double-over at the top so you get a dual-thickness from the ankle upwards, these are single thickness right up to the narrow, Lycra-reinforced cuff. That provides a bit more cooling up here than usual.The heel and toe are slightly reinforced to help prevent wear - durability is impressive after several weeks of use. The only negative on that front is that, try as I might, I've not managed to keep the white bits particularly white... but that's always the way.Right, I'm not going to wibble on about socks any longer... These are cool, durable, and a reasonable price. I likes 'em. Oh, and they're available in this 8cm ankle version, or in a taller 14cm version. That'll cost you a pound extra but you'll look all European and sophisticated. Maybe.
