Socks or no Socks

Always wear a thin sock, keeps the shoes from getting too stanky. Now in my cowboy boots it's always commando.

[font='Times New Roman'][font=Comic Sans MS]Can't say i ever tried to ride without socks, I would think the negatives of ridding without socks out way sweaty feet. I do have a problem with sock seams occasionally and then wear them inside out and some of the mountain bike socks are to thick and give me hot foot syndrome.[/font][/font]

Cotton and lycra sport sox from Aldi. 🙂

Always wear them. Sidi or Campagnolos.

Need that tan line... 🙂

Always wear socks-sweaty feet !

ewww.. the thought of the smell of my feet without socks.. too much.. it would probably knock the entire TDF peleton over 😄

well then, that would be to your advantage eh?🙄 ...

for me- no socks. unless its cold out.

but understand, i'm in south florida, and it do gets plenty warm.

i think the opposite is true- if you've any mesh or air chanels in your cleats- then your feet actually stay cooler. my feets stay dry and shoes dont stink (at least to me):eek:

I wear socks when training and no socks when racing.

Socks for traing cause it gets cold here in Australia now and i like to keep a bit toasty in the feet when i am on the trainer. No socks when racing cause if i wear overshoes, or long race i need the feet as cool as possable for combating hot spots.

its all in the people. personally my shoes stink pretty bad and fast if i dont wear socks but others can get away with it. this is completely regardless of temp (-15C or +40C)

Socks for me too

Recently converted to the Bridgedale Impact and they are, quite simply, about as comfy as socks get!

Socks when wearing shoes. However, during the summer I sometimes cruise around with clipless sandals. Felt a little naked at first but they're great when the weather is a bit hot and sticky.

I only use socks when its really cold. Other then that, since I don't use socks when I race in triathlons. I don't ride with em either, don't want to get use to socks. Race days are normaly painful enough. 😉

My shoes somehow still smell fine. hehe

maybe it is just me.. but my feet and shoes would REALLY STINK without socks.. 😄

I stopped wearing cowboy boots. I couldn't get the cleats to fit right.
