I have small feet (no jokes please!) and I HATE having to cram an inch or three of extra heel sock into a shoe. Or having it stick out the back.<BR/>Has anyone tried the Woolistic socks?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-10559389535878856542008-02-15T13:03:00.000-06:002008-02-15T13:03:00.000-06:00Wooleators ROCK!

When I started racing I chose a comfortable athletic tube sock that almost covered the calf, more stylish with Bermuda shorts than cycling shorts. At least the orange stripes matched my jersey. <BR/><I>Paris Roubaix, A Journey through Hell</I> shows Josef Fischer with his high black socks and notes the legend that would-be German successors have failed at Roubaix because they didn't wear high socks. Maybe the new Euro-syle 12 cm cuff socks have a performance advantage. If not, they at least provide more space for advertising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-60632689585516515352008-02-06T17:48:00.000-06:002008-02-06T17:48:00.000-06:00After reading about the Wooleator, I went Performa...After reading about the Wooleator, I went Performance and got the last two pairs on the shelf in my size.

I keep adding a pair every year, but I still can't tell which one is the oldest! The Boolies are my sock of choice for mountainbiking, and the Wooleators are perfect for the road on the warmer days. I've yet to use any sock - bike specific or not - that compares to the Defeets in terms of function and durability. If only I could get ahold of some tall ones for the winter...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
