Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Competition Socks in Benetton Blue are designed for equestrians who prioritize a streamlined, professional fit inside their riding boots. Offering a perfect balance of compression and breathability, these ultra-light socks minimize bulk to enhance your connection with the stirrups; however, users should note that the slim profile is specifically engineered for a tight boot fit, which may feel thin to those accustomed to traditional cushioned cotton socks.

FAQs
How many pairs come in a pack?
This product is a twin pack, meaning it includes two complete pairs of socks.
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, these socks are designed for a unisex fit, accommodating adult riders.
Can I tumble dry these?
It is recommended to wash at 30 degrees and air dry to maintain the integrity of the compression fibers.
Are they thick enough for winter?
These are classified as micro-weight and ultra-light, designed for breathability rather than heavy thermal insulation.
Will these help with boot fit?
Absolutely. The low-profile, micro-weight upper is specifically engineered to reduce bulk under tight-fitting riding boots.
Troubleshooting
Socks losing elasticity over time
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the stretch and compression qualities.
Feeling too thin for cold weather
These are performance-weight socks designed for fit; for colder days, consider layering a thin wool liner underneath if space permits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These socks are designed for a standard Medium fit. To maintain the elasticity and compressive properties of the fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, up to 30 degrees Celsius.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the stretch fibers; avoid high-heat tumble drying which can degrade the performance fabric.
- Compatibility: These are best paired with tall riding boots or field boots. They are thin enough to fit comfortably under competition breeches without adding unnecessary bulk around the calf area.
