Full details

The Castelli Entrata 18 Cycling Socks are designed for adult cyclists seeking maximum comfort and moisture management on road or gravel rides. Their key benefit is keeping feet dry and reducing fatigue through strategic compression and ergonomic fit. A potential caveat is their 18cm cuff height, which may not suit all preferences. Key features include moisture-repellent polypropylene yarns, a midfoot support band for a secure fit, and a durable blend of technical fabrics.

FAQs

What material are the Castelli Entrata 18 socks made of?

They are made from a blend of 60% polypropylene, 20% polyamide, and 20% elastane.

How high is the cuff on these socks?

The cuff height is 18 cm.

Are these socks suitable for both men and women?

Yes, they are unisex and designed for adult cyclists of any gender.

How do the polypropylene yarns help?

Polypropylene yarns do not absorb moisture, which helps keep your feet dry and comfortable during rides.

What is the purpose of the midfoot support band?

The midfoot support band provides gentle compression for a stable, non-slip fit, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue over long distances.

Can I wear these socks in wet conditions?

While they manage moisture well, they are primarily designed for dry or humid conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof shoe covers or different sock materials.

How should I wash these socks?

Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight around the midfoot.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the midfoot support band might be a feature you find uncomfortable. Consider a Castelli model with less targeted compression.

Feet feel warm during cooler rides.

These socks are optimized for warm weather. For cooler conditions, consider Castelli's thermal sock options.

Socks show signs of wear after a few washes.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly avoiding bleach and high heat drying, which can damage the fabric.
