Product Information
Full details
The Dakine Berm Tall Socks are designed for mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, moisture-wicking barrier for their lower legs. These 13-inch socks provide excellent warmth and protection beneath knee pads, ensuring comfort through advanced fabric blends and targeted reinforcement; however, they are specifically tailored for athletic use and may feel too compressive for casual, everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these socks gender-specific?
These are designed as unisex socks suitable for any adult athlete.
Can these be worn for activities other than cycling?
Yes, their moisture-wicking and protective properties make them suitable for hiking, trail running, or other outdoor sports.
What is the height of the cuff?
The socks feature a 13-inch tall design.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Use the manufacturer's size guide; size S/M is typically recommended for smaller fits, while M/L is for medium-to-large sizing.
Will these socks shrink in the wash?
To prevent shrinking, always wash in cold water and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
Do they provide cushioning?
While they offer a midweight blend for comfort, the primary focus is moisture-wicking and fit, with added reinforcement at the heel and toe.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the calf
Ensure the sock is pulled evenly over the calf; if the discomfort persists, consider sizing up to the M/L option.
Socks bunching inside the shoe
Verify that the arch compression band is correctly positioned on the mid-foot and not twisted; ensure your shoes are properly tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select the appropriate size based on your shoe measurements (S/M or M/L). These socks are designed to be worn directly against the skin, layered beneath knee pads if necessary. To maintain the elasticity and performance of the nylon-blend material, follow these care guidelines: machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the compression fibers and reinforced heel/toe sections.
