Review by Alain L. Reviewed 12/7/2020by Alain L. Cycling EnthusiastPortland, ORLove the woolFit is true to size. I'm normally a size 12, or 46/47 depending on sock/shoe sizing. The weight-to-warmth ratio of these socks is awesome. That said, I have not found a wool sock yet that is perfectly warm, but my feet get cold quite easily in 30-40s temps. I find myself wearing 1-2 pairs wool socks, winter boots (Fizik X5) with wind block toe covers and it takes a while for my feet to warm up. No sock is really enough, but the Castelli socks are nice in that they do not add a ton of bulk. The price is also good when compared to Swiftwick and other brands. I do wish the cuff was a little longer, like other brands.

Review by JohnReviewed 2/1/2021by JohnCycling EnthusiastPortlalnd2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.great socks until the bottoms quickly become completely thread bare. I got a bunch of these and the Venti socks on sale, and loved them but sadly noticed that the bottoms are not at all durable and become threadbare. I hope Castelli learns how to reinforce a sock like everyone else. I was extremely disappointed by these.

Review by GlennSpellerReviewed 2/4/2021by GlennSpellerCompetitive RacerBuffalo, NYBest wool cycling sock I've wornI've worn this sock out cycling without booties down to 30 degrees and it keeps my feet warm. It's thin enough that it doesn't crunch your toes in your shoes. I've purchased three pair, and am not happy that they're apparently discontinuing them.

Review by Jon S.Reviewed 12/10/2020by Jon S.ri, usaBest Merino Wool Sock I OwnLike the title says, this is the best merino wool sock that I own. I bought a very similar pair from the same brand a couple years ago and those are still holding up. The cold wintry months demanded I buy another pair, and I did so with no hesitation.

Review by More cowbellReviewed 11/15/2021by More cowbellCycling EnthusiastWillamette Valley, OregonFirst class foot comfort Comfortable feet make the ride. Castelli delivers again in both comfort and style. Favorite sock of the year. No bunching of toes, and just the right amount of cuff grip.

Review by CharlesReviewed 1/15/2021by CharlesFranklinGreat for cold daysThese socks and a pair of booties will see you down to 32 F with ease. Below that, I recommend a good single malt and a fireplace.

Review by FeltF2riderReviewed 9/28/2017by FeltF2riderCycling EnthusiastEdmonds, lynnwood WAAbsolutely love these.These are a lot of money but no more than other wool socks and with the great style of Castelli. Other than really cold weather these are adequate for my needs and as stated above I never machine dry. Length is perfect and I like the anthracite color.
