FAQs
Can I wear these socks in the summer?
While merino wool is great for thermal regulation, these socks are best suited for cool to mild weather rather than extreme summer heat.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, but they must be washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and dried flat to maintain their shape.
What is the primary benefit of the 15cm height?
The 15cm height offers increased protection for the lower leg against wind, debris, and cold air.
Do these socks prevent odors?
Yes, merino wool has natural antimicrobial properties that help reduce the buildup of odor-causing bacteria.
Are these suitable for running?
While designed for cycling, the moisture-wicking and comfort features of merino wool make them suitable for various high-exertion sports.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly itchy
Ensure the socks are washed with a wool-specific softener or conditioner designed to soften natural fibers.
Fabric loss of elasticity
Avoid using high heat in the dryer; always air dry the socks to protect the elastic threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Castelli Go 15 Road Socks, always wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a wool-friendly detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the natural properties of the merino fibers. It is highly recommended to air dry these socks away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to prevent the wool from shrinking or losing elasticity. These socks are compatible with all standard cycling shoe closure systems, including BOA dials, ratchets, and velcro straps.
