FAQs
Are these socks gender-specific?
Yes, this model is specifically engineered for a female fit.
What is the primary material used?
The socks are constructed using technical Meryl Skinlife yarns.
How high is the cuff?
The cuff height is 11 centimeters.
Does the reflective tab affect comfort?
No, the reflective tab is placed at the center back and is designed to be unobtrusive while you are on the bike.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these socks to maintain the elasticity and performance characteristics of the knit.
Why are there different socks for the left and right foot?
The asymmetrical design follows the natural contour of your feet, providing a better fit and reducing the likelihood of pressure points or friction.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the calf
Ensure the sock is pulled up evenly and the cuff is not doubled over. The 200-needle knit provides firm compression, which is intentional for blood flow.
Odor buildup after long rides
Ensure you are using the correct technical detergent. Standard softeners can coat the fibers and interfere with the moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties.
Pros and Cons

- Antimicrobial properties help maintain freshness on long rides

- Strategic cushioning provides relief during high-intensity cycling

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Castelli Rosso Corsa 11 Socks, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius to protect the integrity of the compression knit.
- Detergents: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the antimicrobial silver ions in the Meryl Skinlife yarn.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can shrink the technical fabric and reduce the sock's elasticity.
- Compatibility: These socks are compatible with all standard road cycling shoes and pedal systems. Their thin, high-performance profile ensures they do not take up excessive space in tightly fitted racing shoes.
