Bloody comfortable, they are. Had the previous version over the ankle jobs, but I find that their particular style of knit tends to break down pretty easily, and becomes hard and uncomfortable after a bit of use.

Matching socks? You conforming fashionista corporate image slut!! 

 

Unless you socks, are mismatching freebies you got at the 2007 Epic and some other pre-2000 event you cannot call yourself a cyclist.

 

Matching socks, can't even deal...... Bloody golfers!!

Agreed, but only the bottom of the socks are contact points, not the ankles or the rest of your legs

Dunno about that one, my ankles and legs are quite often  contact points albeit unintentionally.
