Neoprene socks? Mixed results…
I forgot that I had purchased some XL sized neoprene socks for winter riding. I brought them out and used them twice in the past week and wonder if I like them or not. One ride I put them over thick wool socks, the other ride I put them over thin cycling socks. My winter cycling shoes are Fizik Arctica SPD-R boots. I think the padding of the neoprene is nice & they retain some heat. Those are the positives.
The negatives are that my feet never got warm much. And with the thin cycling socks I arrived home from a 50 mile ride in 39F temps with feet that were cold. When removing the socks when back home they are damp on the inside and feel slightly warm, but when you feel the temperature of your feet - they’re cold!
Is there a trick to getting the most from neoprene socks?
