Cycling Socks – Reflective Mid Crew Sports Socks with Breathable Mesh and Seamless Toe

Seen From Behind. Flat at the Toe. Right Height.

Half past five on a weekday, still dark, and you're rolling out to meet the bunch with the traffic coming up behind you. The tail light on your seatpost is one fixed red dot. Your feet are the only part of you that never stops moving, and most socks give the headlights nothing to pick up there.

Then there's the sock itself. A gym sock bunches inside a stiff cycling shoe and leaves a seam ridge across your toes that you start to feel an hour in. An ankle sock slips down into the heel cup. A thick crew traps the heat in your shoe on a summer ride when the bitumen is already radiating.

These cycling socks are made for the shoe, and for the car behind you.

Here's How It Works

Three reflective bars sit on the back of each cuff, just above the heel. That's the side the traffic coming up behind you actually sees, and because the bars are at ankle height they go up and down with every pedal stroke, so in headlights they move the way a rider moves. The front of the sock is plain.

The knit is a nylon-rich stretch blend with elastane, with a fine mesh ventilation panel up the leg. It's thin enough that your cycling shoe fits exactly as it did before, with no extra pressure across the instep, and the mesh lets heat out of the shoe instead of holding it against your foot. The toe is hand-linked flat, so there's no seam ridge sitting across your toes inside a stiff sole.

A vertically ribbed panel at the ankle holds the sock up without a tight elastic band, and the cuff is plain knit with no turnover. The height is mid-crew, finishing on the calf above the ankle bone, which is clear of the shoe collar and the height road riders actually wear. Each colourway is two-tone, a coloured leg over a contrasting foot, so they sit with the rest of your kit.

The Gear It Replaces

• Gym crew socks — thick, hot, and a seam across the toes inside a stiff shoe
• Ankle socks — they slide down into the heel cup by the first climb
• Plain socks with no reflective detail — nothing for the headlights behind you on a dark morning

What's In It

• Three reflective bars on each cuff — they face the traffic coming up behind you
• Mid-crew height — finishes on the calf, clear of the shoe collar
• Fine mesh ventilation knit — heat out of the shoe instead of trapped against the foot
• Hand-linked seamless toe — no ridge across your toes in a stiff-soled shoe
• Vertically ribbed ankle panel — holds the sock up without a tight band digging in
• Thin nylon-rich stretch knit — your shoe fits the way it did before
• Two-tone colourways — a coloured leg with a contrasting foot, six to choose from

Fit and Sizing

Two sizes, in UK shoe sizes: 2.5–6 and 6.5–9.5. Australian men's shoe sizes follow UK sizing, so an AU men's 9 takes the 6.5–9.5. Australian women's shoe sizes usually sit about two above UK, which puts the 2.5–6 at roughly AU women's 4.5–8 and the 6.5–9.5 at roughly AU women's 8.5–11.5. The largest size finishes at UK 9.5.
