FAQs
Are these socks suitable for everyday riding?
Yes, while designed for competition, their comfort and close fit make them excellent for daily training and long rides.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to LeMieux's sizing guide for apparel. The socks should feel snug and supportive, enhancing boot fit without restricting circulation.
Can I wear these with short boots?
While designed for long boots, they can be worn with short boots, but their specific benefits for boot fit are most realized with longer styles.
How many pairs of socks are in a pack?
Each pack contains two pairs of LeMieux Competition Socks.
What material are the socks made from?
They are made from a lightweight, seamless, low-profile fabric designed for ultra-close contact and compression.
Will these socks make my boots feel tighter?
The micro-weight stretch upper is designed to minimize impact on boot fit, and the compression can actually enhance the overall feel of the boot.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed at 30°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight
Ensure you are ordering the correct size. The compression is designed to be snug; however, if excessively tight, try a size up. Ensure the socks are pulled up evenly without bunching.
Seams are noticeable or causing irritation
Double-check that the socks are oriented correctly, with the flat topside seam positioned on the toe. Smooth out any wrinkles before putting on boots.
Reduced compression over time
Avoid using fabric softeners and high heat when washing, as these can degrade the elastic fibers. Follow the recommended 30°C wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply pull on the socks, ensuring the seamless design is smooth against your leg and the woven foot is comfortably positioned. The micro-weight upper should lie flat to ensure optimal boot fit.
Compatibility: These socks are designed to be worn with all types of long riding boots. Their low profile and stretch upper are specifically intended to work with boots that have a close fit.
