On real aero socks you can find 3-6s, however they not generally available to public and at the cost not many public can buy them and decide its a good idea to tumble dry them

Hang on a mo - does this mean my aero socks are not really aero socks? What's the difference between what Pog and Rog are wearing and what's taking shape around the mamil calves?

I routinely get socks for father's day -- I'll have a word

I see the latest aero socks now have that ribbed pattern they use on the sleeves. That pattern is a bit more protruded than the first gen aero socks.

That's about 22 ZAR - plus p and p... I wonder if there a second hand?? (foot?) pair somewhere for cheaper?

And it's white

Here's an idea for a wind tunnel video for GCN -- 

Wind tunnel comparison of these 150 ZAR socks https://aerostoresa.company.site/White-Aero-Socks-p488306640

and @Wanteds post of those 22k ones.

I mean, the same store does long black aero socks, but then it looks like you're wearing black stockings, so you do you 😉

Im old school and only wear short black socks

I would focus on training better and eating better ( loose weight) before I spend money on aero socks to save a few seconds

per Km,.....per 10km, per 40km? and at what speed are we talking here.....?

 

because I'm leaning toward just looking pro for R149-95

and lets face it, those socks mean naught if you're wearing anything wider than size 32

Shouldn't th crank side fabric have a different weave to the outside fabric and which shoes work best to achieve the gains?  Angling toward getting some Bont Shoes again for road racing
