Product Information
Full details
The Castelli Rosso Corsa 11 Socks are high-performance cycling socks designed for serious female riders who prioritize anatomical fit and long-distance comfort. These socks leverage advanced 200-needle knit construction and antimicrobial Meryl Skinlife yarns to keep feet dry and fresh during intense training sessions. While they offer superior cushioning and stability, they are specifically engineered for cycling footwear and may feel overly compressive if worn for casual activities or non-cycling athletic pursuits.

FAQs
Are these socks left and right foot specific?
Yes, they feature an anatomical asymmetrical design specifically shaped for the left and right foot for an improved fit.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
No, fabric softener should be avoided as it can leave a residue on the fibers that reduces moisture-wicking and antimicrobial performance.
What is the cuff height?
These socks feature an 11cm cuff height.
Do they help with odor?
Yes, they are crafted with Meryl Skinlife yarns that contain antimicrobial silver ions to reduce odor buildup.
Is the reflective tab visible from the front?
No, the reflective tab is positioned at the center back of the cuff to increase visibility from behind.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the arch
Ensure the compressive midfoot band is centered correctly on the arch; adjust if the material has twisted during wear.
Visible wear on the heel after few uses
Check the interior of your cycling shoe for rough patches or debris that might be causing excess friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Castelli Rosso Corsa 11 Socks maintain their compression and antimicrobial properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish moisture-wicking efficiency.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the elastic components and lead to premature wear.
- Compatibility: These socks are optimized for snug-fitting cycling shoes. Because of their precision fit and anatomical padding, they may feel bulky if paired with tight-fitting non-cycling footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and reflective properties of the rear tab.
