Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly damp after intense exercise
Ensure your cycling shoes have adequate ventilation holes and check that you are not wearing a shoe that is too tight, which can restrict airflow.
Elasticity in the cuff seems to be loosening over time
Avoid high-heat drying cycles in the tumble dryer, which break down synthetic elastic fibers prematurely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Giro Comp Racer socks, it is best to machine wash them on a gentle, cold cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking performance of the polyester blend. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the elasticity and shape of the cuff. The socks are compatible with all standard road and mountain bike cycling shoes and cleats.
