Socks

I hate baggy, loose fitting socks. In fact, I often wear cycling socks all the time as I love the way they fit to my feet and don't go baggy with age.

My son also is like this, and as it's Christmas coming up, it's prime sock present time (he's 15, knows he's getting them and sadly really wants some) but I don't know where to get well fitted socks for him?

I don't really want to buy him a bunch of cycling socks, but there must be good quality, well fitted sock sites out there? Googling socks brings you 7 trillion results and none of them look any good.

Where do you all get your socks?

Thanks guys, will have a look at those above! I don't think good socks are cheap tbh, but I pay about 8-15 for cycling socks and at least they last unlike NEXT socks that end up looser than a wizards sleeve.

I find my sealskinz stretched and we’re horrible. The only pair I’ve kept are my mega waterproof ones for winter walking.

This is my idea of hell.

Paul Smith cycling socks.

I didn't know they did cycling stuff! Now that's where I'm getting my next socks, not his

Unfortunately you've gotta be a top earner to even consider wearing those.

Must have the belt to go with it too tbf
