Custom Cycling Socks 101
Written by Joe Pied on February 8, 2010 – 5:54 pm -Cycling socks? What are those? If you cycle a lot, whether or not you’re in exercising for that sport or not, you need a specialized kind of sock so that the moisture your feet generate will not be absorbed by your skin and therefore causes it to be a lot more susceptible to skin irritations and blisters. In addition, sportsman’s foot and other fungal and bacterial infections might be considerably more frequent in feet that are often wet.
Biking socks use special yarns that wick humidity away from the skin; the moisture is moved to an outside layer so that the skin continues to breathe and the feet stay dry, which facilitates keeping them free of blisters and less prone to microbial and fungal infections.
Biking socks are also special due to the fact they don’t require breathable sneakers to evaporate sweat. Rather, their own specific combination of wicking and “water loving” yarns absorb moisture and lock it away from the skin. On top of that, should you be cycling in cold weather, you need yarns that are going to insulate and keep your feet warm, too. So these insulating fibers employed for the cycling socks also trap warmth and air even as they wick away humidity and enable skin to breathe.
