Meet Sexy Socks: the cycling socks that are so much more than your average cycling socks

By Press Office · 35 comments

With a bit of luck, you’ve already heard the good news. We’re stoked to announce that Sexy Socks has launched a brand new range of cycling socks and they’re available online or in-store, ready to help you breeze up those hills or motor to the finish line. Designed with the sport, your performance and of course, style, in mind, here are the five reasons they are going to give you the edge this summer.

1. The breath-ability factor

It’s taken time and development to get the design of our cycling socks spot on but we think we’ve got it. Over the top of the feet you will find a mesh – this is all for the breath-ability factor. Less of the clammy feet, more of the cool, calm and cruising.

2. The extra support

As anyone with a fierce love of the bike will tell you, road cycling and mountain biking are two different beasts. And so it is with our cycling socks. Our mountain biking socks are kitted out with a toweling under-layer and a double cuff for the support required to master the uphills and single track.

3. The speed machine

For those who want speed and dream about hitting the road, our road-cycling socks are super thin (no toweling required) and designed to help you power through every turn of the cog.

4. The style

If you’ve been on this Sexy Socks journey with us for a while, you will know that style is important to us and why should it be any different when you are on your bike? Pick a statement pair, or choose a design or two that go with your favourite kit, and you’re bound to stand out from that Suikerbossie crowd.

5. Warm toes all round

Sexy Socks is not just any sock company. For every pair of socks we sell, a pair is given to a child in need. And our cycling socks range is no different. Sock up, and someone, somewhere, will be able to concentrate at school or run and play in the playground without blisters.

Climb those mountains, breeze up those hills, sprint to the finish…. but make sure you’re doing it in Sexy Socks style.

"Added bonus?  For every pair sold, we give a pair of school socks to a child in need.  Winning."

Do not want to rain on anyone's parade but these are 35% more expensive than the funky Versus socks and 65% more than their basic line (which I use.

 

Hear the part around doing your bit for the underprivileged but not convinced the numbers stack up?

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for the warm reception of our new range!  It only launched about ten days ago, and so we are not stocked in many stores yet but we're working on that and will keep you updated as our stockist list grows.  For now, the best option is online.

 

Please keep any design suggestions coming - we will be expanding our range in the coming months, and we are always keen to hear ideas on what you're after!

What to do if you have dinner plates for feet - size 11 your max? 

 

Or are you saying that big feet aren't sexy?

I like the idea too of black socks with white bikes.

Well since you asked, I'll let the cat out the bag...black cycles coming early 2017!  But let me see what I can do about getting them a little earlier.

Check out Twill - that is the only store in JHB currently stocking our cycling range, but I will keep you posted as more stores carry our socks.

Well... all I'm saying is that the rest of us need a little extra sexy from our socks ;)

 

Sadly, size 7-11 is all we have right now.

Surprises come when you least expect them - guess you'll have to give 'em a try!

@sexysocks Will you guys have the range at the Oranjezicht Market at the V&A on Saturday?

Nice designs, but I personally couldn't wear socks with the "Sexy Socks" branding visible.

Yes we will!

Thanks - this is good feedback.  Would you like to see the same designs without the logo on the leg?  Or a plainer sock all round?  If this is a common feeling, we will look at bringing some out without the visible branding.

 

Please keep the suggestions coming on what you like/don't like - always keen to improve.

The Sock Doping Mob will have my head, but...

 

I'd like to see a shorter sock. The length of the hip and trendy socks are just too long for my taste and there is very little in terms of cool designs in a shorter length. 

 

Long(er) socks are quite warm and with summer upon us, it would be cool to have a kick-ass option or two that's shorter.

Have you guys got a DC team in your socks yet  :whistling:

There is a time and place for that kind of thinking...
