Once upon time in Belgium, riders would take old winter socks, cut holes in the bottoms to allow their cleats to poke through, and use them as shoe covers. The Castelli Belgian Bootie 3 improves upon this 'original' design, adding enhancements while maintaining the traditional look, style, and feel of this iconic classic wardrobe staple.

Constructed using 100% polypropylene for increased durability and easy cleaning, the Belgian Bootie 3 features a double layer knit on the foot of the bootie to provide better protection. The booties are also cut high enough to cover the cuff of a 9cm sock and offer two silver bands of reflective thread for increased visibility. Perhaps more importantly, the Belgian Bootie 3 comes pre-cut for your cleats, meaning you'll avoid the rips and tears associated with homemade versions.

The Castelli Belgian Bootie 3 comes in Black or White and in three sizes -- Small/Medium, Large/X-Large, and XX-Large. Be sure to check the sizing chart to ensure proper fit.
