Trek answered it quite well. :-) I alawys wear my cycling socks when biking and running socks for running.Originally Posted by Trek420
but seriously on a bike your footsies do lots and lots (and lots) of repetitive motion. Feet get hot (sweaty). Combine sweaty feet with repetitive pedaling and regular cotten socks and you have....drum roll .... blisters or worse.
bike socks use fabulous wicking fabrics that wicks sweat away
they have ultra smooth fabric so it does not chafe and ...
bike socks are ultra thin. you want a tight fit on your shoes whether you use bike shoes or not.
With bike shoes especially clipless if you turn your foot to unclip you want NO give. Foot moves, shoe moves, no surprises.Even with standard shoes a loose fit means chafeing.
