FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter riding?
These socks are designed for breathability and moisture management, making them better suited for mild to warm weather rather than extreme winter temperatures.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air-dry these socks to extend the lifespan of the elastic and the effectiveness of the antimicrobial treatment.
What is Q Skin technology?
Q Skin is a polyamide yarn containing silver ions that help reduce bacteria growth, which helps keep the fabric fresh and odor-free.
How do I know my correct size?
Refer to the Castelli size guide, which correlates your shoe size to the Castelli apparel size; the fit should be snug without being restrictive.
Do these socks feature extra cushioning?
The Superleggera T 18 focuses on performance and compression rather than heavy cushioning, offering a thin, lightweight feel for precise pedaling.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight in the midfoot
Ensure the support band is not twisted and verify you have selected the correct size; consider sizing up if you have high arches.
Odor appearing after multiple uses
Wash the socks thoroughly with a technical detergent; ensure they are completely dry before the next use, as moisture retention can hinder antimicrobial performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Castelli Superleggera T 18 socks perform optimally, verify your size against the Castelli sizing chart before purchase to guarantee the midfoot support band sits correctly on the arch. When washing, use a mild detergent in a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the silver ion treatment within the Q Skin yarns. Air-drying is highly recommended over tumble drying to preserve the elasticity and integrity of the synthetic fibers.
