    There's no way he could have gotten himself into that position without the help of the socks.

    It is a well known medical fact that taking steroids makes your socks shrink.

    No way! Too long, and too short respectively.

    Just right:

    I imagine that it's threads like this that are linked to for much amusement value on the Motors forum.

    I was joking. I'm sure he's perfectly physically capable with or without the aid of performance enhancing socks.

    I think they are a touch too short.

    Although the ones I was wearing last night had green rather than red trim. Anything above the ankle digs into my calf.

    I raced with someone who was convinced the higher your socks - the better your form ??!!

    I heard it was the longer your sox the longer your cox.

    I can't find a good picture of it in action, but Cervelo were using these awful overshoes last year. Half way up the leg type things. Not socks, I realise.

    /zombie thread bump

    can I have a decision here please.

    I have two pairs of socks. I need recommendations on brand and length. I turned to Rapha and Assos for a steer. Both offer in two lengths.

    I have only ever gone ankle length but I'm gonna try out something longer to see if it really is the shizzle.

    Amongst the coolest* things I've seen is two dudes who each bought a pair of shoes, same model and size, but in different colours. Then they each swapped a shoe! That would not be so bad but I saw them together and it was quite obvious what these victims had done.

    Any Toughts??

    *worst
