Sports specific socks such as those used for running will have a significant amount of padding strategically placed throughout the sock to aid with shock absorption, whereas the opposite applies for cycling. When cycling, the foot is placed in a unique, stable position, and so thinner, form-hugging socks are more beneficial, allowing the technical features of the sock to perform at their efficient best.
Cycling socks are designed to provide comfort through improved contact with your cycling shoe, highlighting the importance of selecting the right shoe to suit your foot. The thinner weight of cycling socks can also play a part in ensuring your pedal stroke is as efficient as possible, saving you precious energy by providing greater tactile feedback and improving your power transfer as a result.
Selecting the wrong shoe and socks can promote blistering and nerve pain commonly known as 'hot spots'. Overly cushioned socks or excess movement inside of the shoe is usually the culprit and typically occurs following the contraction and expansion of sensitive nerve endings in the foot.
Sitting above the ankle, mid-crew length socks are the most popular option with riders. Providing a good amount of foot and ankle support without feeling too high or too short, they also aid with ankle protection in the event of a crash.
Whilst we're on the subject of looks, longer socks are typically favored by riders for their aesthetic qualities, offering more space for a little style and improved calf muscle definition, after all, it’s important to show off what you work so hard on.
The height of your cycling socks is largely a matter of personal preference. As long as the sock comes up higher than your shoe, it can work. (Some cyclists even decide sock height based on where they want their tan lines.) Performance-focused cyclists (ones that shave their legs) might go with higher socks because of a slight aerodynamic advantage.
If you’re a mountain biker, then you’ll probably want a pair of higher, more durable socks to help protect your ankles and lower legs from brush, gravel and dirt.
