Product Information

Full details

The Spatz Wear Aquasokz Lo are high-performance aero oversocks designed for serious cyclists who require both aerodynamic efficiency and protection during wet weather rides. Developed for the Alpecin-Deceuninck Pro Cycling Team, these socks offer a wind-tunnel-tested advantage and waterproof construction, making them ideal for racing and high-speed training. Note that the 'Lo' cut stops at the ankle, meaning they provide less lower-leg coverage compared to full-length booties.

FAQs

Can I wear these with any road shoe?

Yes, they are designed to fit most standard road cycling shoes, though the fit is optimized for sleek, race-oriented footwear.

Are they truly waterproof?

They feature a waterproof PU-coated lycra construction that is highly effective at shedding water during rain, though they are not fully submersible.

What is the purpose of the 'Lo' cut?

The 'Lo' cut finishes at the ankle, allowing you to use them in conjunction with aero socks for a combined aerodynamic and protective solution.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the specific sizing provided for your model (e.g., M/L, L/XL) which generally corresponds to your standard cycling shoe size.

Are they durable enough for walking?

While they feature a Kevlar toe for durability, they are intended for cycling. Minimize walking to protect the fabric and silicone components.

Troubleshooting

Oversock sliding down during a ride

Ensure the silicone leg gripper is in direct contact with your skin or the top of your aero sock, and verify the heel gripper is seated correctly.

Velcro keeps coming undone

Clean the velcro surfaces of any road debris or lint using a stiff brush, and ensure it is fully pressed shut behind the cleat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Proven aerodynamic benefits in wind-tunnel testing
  • Waterproof material keeps socks dry in rainy conditions
  • Reinforced Kevlar toe area adds significant lifespan
  • Low-profile cut allows for seamless pairing with aero socks
  • Excellent stay-in-place fit due to dual silicone grippers

Cons

  • Ankle-height cut leaves more skin exposed than full-length covers
  • Velcro closure requires careful alignment for a perfect aero seal
  • Specialized PU material requires specific care instructions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, put your cycling shoes on first, followed by your preferred aero socks. Then, pull the Aquasokz Lo on over your shoes, aligning the cleat hole and securing the velcro strap behind the cleat to ensure a smooth transition of airflow over the shoe. When cleaning, hand wash the oversocks in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh solvents on the PU coating, as this can degrade the waterproof properties and silicone grippers. Lay them flat to air dry away from direct sunlight.
