Attaquer's high-performance cycling socks include technology like chemical-free silver yarn with natural antimicrobial properties woven into the foot bed to ensure feet stay fresh, dry and odour-free all day.
Cycling socks are an essential part of any cycling kit. Your feet are what connect you with the pedal, so it makes sense to treat them to the best cycling socks that can be found. When it comes to cycling socks for men or women, we’ve considered every aspect of Attaquer cycling socks to deliver quality, comfort and performance.
An Attaquer sock bundle also offers great value: buy four pairs, and only pay for three.
Midweight and winter socks
We’ve designed our line of cycling socks in Australia to offer comfort in every cycling condition. Across the range, Attaquer socks are breathable, body contoured for an ideal fit and include the natural antimicrobial effects of silver to keep your feet dry and comfortable. Our winter socks also incorporate Germanium alloy yarn, which promotes blood circulation to keep feet warm even in icy weather.
Aero cycling socks
With incredibly lightweight and advanced design, our Race ULTRA+ Aero cycling socks are aerodynamically designed for high performance. They incorporate a combination of bamboo charcoal and silver yarn for a fresh feeling, together with a contoured foot bed and a unique lip design to minimise drag. Our Aero socks for cycling are ideal for race conditions when every moment counts.
What is the point of cycling socks?
High-quality cycling socks will not only minimise blisters and rubbing and but they also support optimal cycling performance through very specific design. Where a pair of typical running socks will provide targeted cushioning to absorb impacts, cycling socks are instead all about creating a form-fitting, close fit that helps transfer energy from your ankle and foot to the pedal as effectively as possible. As such, our cycle socks are custom-crafted for their purpose.
Do cycling socks make a difference?
There’s a reason many pro cyclists obsess over their socks, and that’s because cycling socks can make a significant difference to cycling comfort, performance and experience. Just as with our clothes and cycling accessories including cycling warmers and cycling caps, we’ve designed our cycling socks to deliver multiple benefits.
Moisture wicking properties
Moisture in cycling shoes can be bad news as this can lead to friction, blisters and odours. We select fabrics that wick sweat away from the foot of the bed: an area that actually contains more sweat glands per square centimetre than any other part of the body. Meanwhile, the use of chemical free silver yarn provides a natural antimicrobial effect to keep feet feeling fresh, dry and comfortable all day.
Added comfort
You don’t need anything distracting you from your ride, including socks that fall down or bunch up within the shoe. We’ve created our cycling socks without bulky or energy-dispersing cushioning for a close, energy-effective fit. There are also no raised heel or toe seams with this cycling brand – just smooth, consistent comfort to be found.
Temperature regulation
Whether cycling in cold weather or hot weather, Attaquer cycling socks offer temperature regulating features that can make for a far more enjoyable ride. Our breathable socks can keep feet cooler in summer, while the Germanium alloy yarn in our winter options promotes blood circulation for improved warmth.
Are long socks better for cycling?
The length and fit of cycling socks is said to improve aerodynamics at the performance level. It’s why our Race ULTRA+ Aero cycling socks include a distinctive lip at their front for streamlined air flow. Of course, longer socks can also help to protect against the sun, gravel and debris on more adventurous rides.
How important is fit for cycling socks?
A slight compressive fit can help with circulation and to ensure socks won’t slip mid-pedal. Meanwhile, socks shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or restrictive. The ideal fit will be firm, supportive and snug without holding the cyclist back.
How long should cycling socks be?
This of course depends on personal preference. The worldwide governing body for sports cycling, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), sets upper limits on the length of cycle socks at no higher than the middle of the lower leg. This is because the texture of cycling socks can have an aerodynamic effect on airflow around the calf. Ultimately it’s a matter of choice, based on the type of ride, weather and ride length. Sizing details for our sock designs can be found on individual product pages.
