Cyclocross socks

Just wondering what people wear on their feet to race cross in.

I usually wear my Sealskinz, but I need some new shoes and I have to but bigger shoes to fit these in. They're too big then for 'normal' socks, and I don't want to be having to wear sealskinz/two pairs of socks all summer when I'm out in the woods.

Any other options?

Cheers,
Steve

p.s. I'm optimistically assuming it's going to be sunny this summer!

    DeFeet Woolie Boolies are a bit thicker than normal socks - keep your feet warm in winter and comfy in summer
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Hi there.

    For racing it doesn't make any difference, cos you're rarely cold when you're actually racing. For training I've got a lovely marino wool pair.

    Oh, and they have to be black. I learnt this hill running. No point starting out with white socks, cos the mud will make them grey within 2 wear/wash cycles. So you might as well start with black ones.

    Cheers, Andy
