Casual Socks

About

Riding socks are the layer between your skin and a sealed boot, so they decide how dry and blister-free your feet stay. This range covers Coolmax boot socks, tall race socks and knee-height MX socks from Leatt, Thor, Shot, Oxford, TCX and Shark Leathers, built to wick sweat and cushion long days in the saddle. Riding socks are matched to boot height, not just shoe size The right sock height keeps the hard cuff of a boot off bare skin. A road sock around 30cm suits low road boots, a race sock near 35cm clears a sports boot collar, and a knee-height MX sock near 40cm pairs with tall off-road and adventure boots. Coolmax yarn moves moisture roughly 5 times faster than cotton, so feet stay drier across a full day in sealed leather. Socks are the base layer beneath certified gear, so they sit under boots and EN 17092 rated AAA, AA and A garments rather than carrying an abrasion rating of their own. Sock type Cuff height Main yarn Best with Coolmax boot sock 30cm Coolmax polyester Road and touring boots Tall race sock 35cm Nylon and elastane blend Sports and track boots Knee-height MX sock 40cm Polyester and spandex Off-road and adventure boots Fit and cushioning reduce hot spots A close knit with around 5 percent elastane holds the sock to the calf so it cannot bunch under a buckle. A smooth fit also prevents pressure points beneath CE Level 1 and CE Level 2 armour worn at the ankle or shin. Cushioned zones under the heel and ball spread pressure across the 26 bones of the foot, while a flat toe seam removes the ridge that causes blisters. Look for arch support bands rated to compress around 15 percent for a locked-in feel on rough trails. Order true to your shoe size, since most ranges run in 2 to 3 size bands, and size up only if you wear thick winter liners under 0 degrees.
