FAQs
Are these socks gender-specific?
While the blue variant is labeled as male, the construction is highly versatile and fits a wide range of adult cyclists depending on size preference.
How do I determine my size?
The socks are sold in generic adult apparel sizing (e.g., XL, XXL). Refer to your standard cycling shoe size to determine the best fit.
Can these socks be worn for running?
They are specifically optimized for road cycling geometry and shoe interfaces, though they can be used for other activities if the compression fit is comfortable for you.
Does the 15 in the name refer to the length?
Yes, it refers to the 15cm cuff height, which is a classic professional cycling sock length.
How should I store these to maintain elasticity?
Store them flat or loosely folded rather than bundled tightly to prevent stretching the elastic fibers over time.
Troubleshooting
Sock feels too tight around the midfoot.
The compression fit is intentional. Ensure the sock is pulled evenly over the heel to distribute the tension correctly.
Fabric appearing thin after many washes.
Ensure you are using a mesh laundry bag during the wash cycle to prevent the socks from snagging on zippers or hooks from other garments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Castelli socks ensures the longevity of the compression fibers and the cushioning layers. Always machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle using a mild detergent. To maintain the elasticity of the support band, it is highly recommended to air dry these socks away from direct heat sources. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip away the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fibers. These socks are compatible with all standard road cycling cleats and shoe systems, fitting best when worn snugly without wrinkles.
