mataz Posted March 12, 2014 Share I'm riding the Epic this year and will definitely be walking a fair amount, what are the best socks to wear to prevent chafe, blisters, etc? Not crazy about the super thick type e.g. Falke MTB. Any suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought 4 pair of these into the country for the epic: http://www.x-bionic.com/men/biking/mountainbike/mountain-biking/135406/detail I really like them - on my foot much more comfy than the Falke and First Ascent I used before.

V12man Posted March 12, 2014 Share I enjoy my DeFeet socks I DON'T like the price... and the ones I have are fairly thick - similar to the Falke MTB ones - just less padding in the heel cup than the Falke ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Black ones or dark coloured ones ... white one's just end up a funny brown colour anyway BarHugger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rata Del Spruit Posted March 12, 2014 Share You need to combine the latest trends in mountain biking and running so ride a rigid single speed with no brakes barefoot. It's mountain biking at its purest. Skylark and Caerus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the name of mine,but they are thin and really breathe well.Use them for running as well and my shoes are super tight. Agreed that the price is a bit crazy though.

jcza Posted March 12, 2014 Share FALKEFALKEFALKEFALKEFALKE OH JA FALKE I find that they are too thick (or maybe my shoes are too small). I have some DeFeet but only wear them on road. They're awesome! For MTB I wear oldest socks I can find as they don't last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
