edited April 2009 in Road buying advice
just bought some Endura from CRC and they're okay, and cheap (£9 for 3 pairs)

but they're a tad thin for me.

Any recommendations for some good, hard wearing, supportive, summer, white socks.

Don't mind a bit of colour.... 8)

    Thorlos can't be beaten for comfort in my experience.

    Yeah I did see that afterwards which does make it a bit easier to accept. Still, can't help but think of the laughs you'd get posting this as a 'deal' on hot uk deals :lol:

    They look pretty ordinary to me :shock: :shock:

    Probably paying £1 for the sock and £9 for the logo :wink::wink::wink:

    I guess there are limits to how exciting you can make a sock look, :D but the retro/Italian/vaguely70s image does it for me (and the fact they're Campagnolo just adds to that of course).

    One thing that's worrying me; SURELY it's ok to wear these without being a current or ex Italian champion..??

    Pearl Izumi Attack Sock is quite high up there on the price/performance ratio. £9 for 3 pairs.

    Who came up with the idea of "attack socks"? Sounds like Captain Underpants arch enemy. I think it had been a long lunch time in the Pearl Izumi marketing department.

    They would have been the perfect sock for my attack dog though....

    Well... You know what they say about wearing anything with the italian flag on it... That it makes you faster and more attractive to the opposite sex.
