Product Information

Full details

The Castelli Entrata 18 Cycling Socks are designed for adult cyclists seeking advanced comfort and moisture management on road or gravel rides. Their key benefit is keeping feet dry and reducing fatigue through strategic compression and a secure fit. A potential caveat is the 18 cm cuff height, which might be longer than preferred by some riders. These socks feature polypropylene yarns for superior moisture resistance, a midfoot support band for enhanced fit, and a durable blend of materials for long-lasting wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material are the Castelli Entrata 18 socks made of?

They are made from a blend of 60% polypropylene, 20% polyamide, and 20% elastane.

How do the polypropylene yarns benefit my ride?

Polypropylene yarns do not absorb moisture, which helps keep your feet dry and comfortable during cycling, especially in warm conditions or during intense efforts.

What is the purpose of the midfoot support band?

The midfoot support band provides gentle compression to enhance the fit, offering a stable, non-slip feel that can help reduce foot fatigue over long distances.

What is the cuff height of these socks?

The cuff height is 18 cm, providing a sleek, professional look and adequate coverage.

Are these socks suitable for all weather conditions?

They are ideal for warm-weather comfort due to their breathability and moisture-wicking properties. For very cold conditions, warmer cycling socks may be more appropriate.

How should I wash and care for my Entrata 18 socks?

Machine wash cold or hand wash with mild detergent. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and ironing.

Are these socks available in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for White in Size L. Other colors like Black and various sizes (S, XXL) are available in the Castelli Entrata 18 line, but may be listed separately.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The midfoot support band is designed to be snug; if discomfort persists across the entire foot, consider sizing up.

Feet feel damp after a ride

While highly moisture-wicking, extreme conditions or exceptionally heavy sweating might still lead to some dampness. Ensure socks are fully dry before wearing and consider your cycling shoe's breathability.

Socks sliding down the leg

Verify that the midfoot support band is properly positioned around the arch of your foot. Ensure the cuff is not being stretched beyond its intended fit, which could compromise its elasticity.
