Cycling socks are characterized by moisture absorption, perspiration, wear resistance, and not easy to deform. According to the survey, many cyclists do not wear special cycling socks and use ordinary sports socks as substitutes.
This idea and practice are wrong.The importance of cycling socks may not be reflected in the short-term riding process, but once you enter a long-distance and long-term riding, you will feel the soles of your feet are hot and painful, and a lot of sweat will accumulate. Many people think that this is the consequence of excessive exercise. In fact, the real “culprit” is the pair of ordinary sports socks.
In cycling, since the soles of the feet are almost always in contact with the pedals, this requires cycling socks to have higher air permeability and wear resistance than ordinary sports socks, which can reduce the impact of constant pedaling on the soles of the feet.So when we compare cycling socks with ordinary sports socks, we will find that the former is thicker at the back root and toe. For cyclists with flat soles, if they are not wearing cycling socks, they will soon feel muscle soreness and reduce cycling efficiency. Cycling socks generally increase elasticity in this position and tighten this muscle. Allows the soles of the feet to work longer. Cycling socks also keep your feet dry.
In fact, if you choose high-quality cycling socks, the benefits to cyclists are not only the above, but also reduce the probability of blisters on the soles of the feet and other beriberi.
