What's wrong with my socks, besides being ******* comfortable.

 

Scott Scale 960 (2017)

Cycling fashion dictates that your socks need to make a statement while being comfortable.

For some obscure reason it means that if it looks like you pedalled your way through a fruit salad then you're sorted.

 

Personally I am a fan of geometric patterns, but go take a look in the sock doping thread for inspiration.

 

The craze has entered the trail running scene, so if you see someone running with ice cream cone patterns ahead of you, that person is sock doping.

 

Oh, and someone who doesn't know why cyclists really shave their legs, but still religiously shaves his legs because he likes how it feels, will probably make a comment about your leg hair as well.

I have the liquorish all sorts, then not a f comfortable. I wear them as my part of my day to day socks as that's all they good for.

 

None of those I read with wear funky socks, again because function over fashion. I also don't buy jeans made by Edwards scissors hands.

 

I know only 1 of very many runners who choose fashion over function.

 

Trust me, if you want the worlds best socks, get a pair of balega, while they are technically running socks, they quite happily cross the bar over to cycling according to the word of my feet.

That is gold... but anyone can see that those socks are black panthers hiding in a coal yard on a moonless night. Totally on point for the WOKE masses and reflects the most successful non Caucasian superhero movie that is breaking stereotypes across the genre.

 

TBH the new sock craze is the modern equivalent of that garish waistcoats that you'd wear with your dinner jacket. Just trying to show how 'crazy' you really are.

Luckily I'm too old to be prescribed by others what is cool to wear, or not.

I wear what I want, because it is comfortable for me, and I like it.

Bad news for you Wannabe, Green Cross doesn't make cycling shoes :ph34r:  ;)

 

Just kidding, I'm the same, except when my wife tells me what to wear :blush:

have you found those Croc's cycling shoes you been searching for yet  :ph34r:

Now those WOULD be comfy...

at least you would be comfy when the land owner, of the trail you are riding on, comes after you with his bakkie to use his shotgun to rid his property of the vermin on your feet that is harming his farm.

Now that is one piece of clothing / shoe ware you will never find in my possession.

After a hard day on my feet, most comfortable shoes I've got. I was involved in a little fender bender on the N1 in '96 and my left foot got behind the brake pedal (dad's '95 automatic Merc written off) and the brake pedal lever crushed the bones on top of my foot beyond repair. So now I'm sitting with a stiff ankle and one buggered up left foot. Only have up and down movement without any sideways movement. 8a49d6458cae923d2907e7dc400c3c70.jpg
