Your feet are the extreme outposts of your body, and your socks are your first line of defense in cold weather. The wrong sock will either allow your foot to freeze, or suffocate it by overheating and then allow it to freeze thanks to being too sweaty. To answer this vexing problem, Assos has a range of socks from warm to warmer to warmest to meet everyone's personal thermostat ranges and varying temperatures and conditions. These earlyWinterSocks fit into the warm range for most folks.

The earlyWinterSocks are a blend of 70% Merino wool, 18% nylon, 10% polyester, and 2% lycra. It's a mix of materials that will ensure comfort, warmth, and durability. One aspect we like is the thickness. These are fairly thin around the ankle cuff and across the top of the foot to avoid overstuffing your normal cycling shoes. However, they have a thicker sole, with padding for the ball of the foot and a gentle compression band wrapping around the arch. This sock is warmer than your standard synthetic sock and even a summer-weight wool sock, but not so dense as to really trap heat if you come from a long line of hot-footed people.

Assos earlyWinterSocks come in Black and White. They are part of Assos' earlyWinter climaRange, which means 43-54° F (6-12° C). Your comfort range may vary. Sizes are 0, I, and II.
