Do you remember the hullabaloo when Lance showed up at the TdF or the Tour de Georgia, somewhere or other, wearing black socks? I thought there was going to be a mass heart attack in the cycling world.
Hee-hee, Irulan, we'll get her undies in a bundle all over again.

oh those black socks with shorts were UUUUUGLY!
actually.... for the most part i wear little white peds and have some "real" cycling peds that are white... so i'm ok... most of the time!
i got a GREAT deal on some grey peds type cycling socks at supergo... couldn't pass them up.. and they look great with my cycling shoes
i won't wear the cute higher up socks EXCEPT with tights legwarmers when i know i won't be taking them off... exposing me to potentially funny looking tan lines
uhm.... i wear the same socks with my very cute mtb shoes! hmmmmm must be a faux pas???
some day i'll learn all the fashion ins and outs of BOTH sides of cycling!!

Rules?!?! About socks!?!?
I wear my short cycling socks to work everyday. I think they look cute with capris and the funky shoes I bought this year.
I especially like wearing these socks with them.
Looking at my feet makes me happy.

I teach 5th grade so I'm on my feet a lot, but not 8 hours straight. I think they're pretty comfortable. I got mine at LL Bean. They have 100% return policy so if they don't work out - even after wearing all day - you can send them back.
I originally ordered a 9 - that's what size my Keen sandals are - but they were too small. When I got the 9.5s I noticed that they have the European size on the label as well. The 9.5 is a 40 - my European size. I think the difference was that I always wear the sandals barefoot. So if you do order some, you may want to keep that in mind.

Thanks for the info on the shoes. I think I just might give them a try.
All my best socks are pink; PMS, pink flame, pink flamingo, pink stripes, pink polka dots...Last edited by Jones; 10-12-2005 at 05:27 PM.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
