Full details
The LeMieux Competition Socks 2 Pack is designed for adult riders seeking enhanced comfort and a distraction-free experience during equestrian activities. These lightweight, ultra-close contact socks offer a snug fit that improves long boot performance, providing a key benefit of reduced friction and increased feel. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific compression level, which is designed for a close fit and may feel restrictive if a looser sock is preferred. Key features include seamless construction, low-profile fabric with compression, and a micro-weight stretch upper.

FAQs
How many pairs of socks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two pairs of LeMieux Competition Socks.
Are these socks suitable for casual wear?
While designed for riding, their comfort and close fit may make them suitable for casual wear if desired. However, their specific performance features are optimized for equestrian use.
Can I wear these with short riding boots?
These socks are specifically designed with features like a micro-weight stretch upper intended to integrate seamlessly with long riding boots. While they can be worn with short boots, their primary benefits are realized when paired with long boots.
What is the main benefit of the compression feature?
The compression helps to provide a snugger fit for your long riding boots, reducing the risk of rubbing, bunching, and providing a more secure feel.
How do I wash and care for my competition socks?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry them; do not tumble dry or iron.
What makes the fabric 'ultra-close contact'?
The seamless, low-profile fabric is very thin and lies flat against the skin, minimizing bulk and allowing for a more direct feel between the rider's leg and the horse.
Will the stretch upper affect my boot fit?
No, the micro-weight stretch upper is designed to provide a comfortable fit around the calf without adding bulk or pressure that would alter the fit of your riding boots.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them for a short period to allow the fabric to adapt to your leg shape. If the tightness persists, consider a size up or a different sock model.
Bunching inside the boot
Ensure the socks are pulled up smoothly and are wrinkle-free before putting on your boots. Make sure your boots are not too tight or too loose for your leg.
Seam irritation
While designed for comfort, some individuals may be sensitive. Ensure the sock is positioned correctly on your foot so the topside seam lies flat and does not rub against your skin.
Material losing elasticity
Avoid high heat when washing or drying. Always follow the recommended care instructions to preserve the fabric's stretch and performance.
