FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter riding?
Yes, the merino wool blend provides excellent insulation, making them well-suited for cool-to-cold weather riding.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, it is highly recommended to air dry the socks to prevent the merino wool from shrinking and to maintain the durability of the synthetic fibers.
Do these socks fit both men and women?
Yes, the Castelli Go 15 Road Sock is designed as a unisex product.
What is the primary benefit of the merino wool blend?
The primary benefits are its natural ability to wick moisture away from the skin, offer superior thermal regulation, and naturally resist odors.
How long is the cuff on these socks?
The cuff height is 15cm, providing moderate leg coverage.
What is the best way to remove salt stains from the socks?
A gentle wash with a wool-safe detergent after every ride is usually sufficient to remove sweat salts and maintain the fabric's performance.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly abrasive after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and interfere with the wool's natural texture.
Socks have lost shape
Avoid high-heat drying, which degrades the synthetic stretch fibers; always air dry to maintain the original fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These socks are designed for standard cycling shoe interfaces. To ensure long-lasting performance, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a dedicated wool detergent.
- Temperature: Keep water temperatures cool (30°C/86°F or lower) to avoid fiber shrinkage.
- Drying: Do not use a tumble dryer. Air dry flat or hang away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the merino fibers.
- Bleach/Softener: Never use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip away the natural wicking capabilities of the material.
