because sweaty feet

 

also never realised how much my hands sweat until one cold morning I decided to wear a pair of Nitral gloves under my normal longer finger gloves.

The only time I wear long socks is in winter and when they can be hidden under my long pants / winter tights. 
 

Never been able to understand why cyclists like to wear long socks…..when it’s not cold, the same with long finger gloves ????
 

used to love the black Falke short cycling socks which had the world champion rings around the top socks, sadly you can’t get them anymore. I always stocked up on them from sportsman’s warehouse when in SA. Now I buy short black “De Feet” socks from a local LBS, black with the LBS name around the top in white.

I used to only wear Versus. Light, cool and stylish imo.

Only issue is that when you light a joint and a tiny piece of ash falls on your sock, a massive hole appears in your sock. They also ladder easier that a pair of Pep stockings.

I wear Falke mtb socks now.

I have peace in my heart and a smile on my face.

You're supposed to take the pyrotechnic seeds out of your tomatoes Vetseun, then you can return to wearing delicates ????
