Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up. Make sure the sock is not twisted inside your shoe.
Feet still feel damp after a ride.
While the polypropylene is highly moisture-wicking, ensure your cycling shoes are also breathable. Check for any blockages in shoe vents. Wash socks according to care instructions, as residue can affect performance.
Chafing or irritation occurs.
Verify the sock is smoothed out and free of wrinkles inside the shoe. Ensure your cycling shoe fit is not too tight, which can exacerbate friction points.
