Two years ago Josh convinced one of our ProTour teams to move every rider to aero socks for every event. The savings from aero socks are one of those crazy things in cycling that we mostly still can't believe, but repeats in the data every time.. 8-12 watts of savings at 50kph, unbelievable.
Little did Josh realize that he was about to be responsible for a mutiny among the riders. Early in the spring classics, the problems began, the ribbed lycra cuffs which lead to the improved aerodynamics would fall down.. constantly.
Thus started the mission. Can we make an aero sock, that is first and foremost a really good sock? Josh worked with a team in Italy who is quite famous for making the finest socks in the world, and who also has some of the most modern kitting machinery in the world. The goal was to make a knit sock that won't fall down, but has a combination of smooth and rough texture to trick the air into flowing around the lower leg more efficiently. The result is a sock which matches the aerodynamic performance of ribbed lycra cuff socks, while retaining all of the features you demand from a cycling sock.
The technology:
Custom knitting machinery allows us to produce a sock with smooth frontal surface where the airflow is laminar, with the addition of 3 rows of turbulators starting just ahead of the flow separation zone. These turbulators introduce small vortices in the boundary layer which energize the flow and promote flow attachment further around the leg. More attached flow means a smaller pressure wake behind the leg, less wake = less drag. 4-8 watts drag reduction when compared to standard sock and equal to ribbed lycra socks of similar height
SILCA aero socks are knit from Q-Skin, a silver ion infused polyamide which is anti-bacterial, odor resistant, and more importantly, has better softness and moisture control than any of the yarns commonly used to knit socks. Not only are these socks fast, they're the most comfortable sock you've ever worn.
Socks are not eligible for returns once tried on. Please refer to our sizing guide below for best fit.
Without getting into any aero benefits, these are just really nice cycling socks. Nice and snug with just the right amount of stretch.

Surprisingly awesome
I’ve purchased a couple of pairs and these are really nice. I won’t speak to the aeroness of these (I’ll leave this to the aerodynamicists) but these are awesome. Comfortable with just the right amount of support. Not too tight. Not too loose. Color fast. Just everything you could ask for in a sock.

Quality, Comfort, & Speed = Perfection!
I didn't know what to expect when ordering these socks, but as a speed(and kit) junkie, I thought I would give them a try. So glad I did! I have 50+ socks from high end brands around the world and these are by far the most comfortable socks I now own. The tight knit offers good compression without being too stiff or thick and the cut is extremely comfortable. I normally forget about the socks I'm wearing, but I noticed the comfort the whole time. Silca... you knocked it out of the park with these!
