Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight around the calf
Ensure the socks are pulled up evenly to distribute pressure; if discomfort persists, consider that they are designed for a performance-fit which is inherently snug.
Signs of premature wear on the sole
Check the interior of your cycling shoes for rough edges or worn insoles that might be causing friction against the sock fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Icon Socks, wash them in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the breathability and moisture-wicking properties of the technical yarn. Always line dry when possible to maintain the elasticity of the cuff. Ensure you have selected the correct size (Small) to match your foot profile for the best fit, as the technical fabric is designed to be snug but not restrictive.
