Cycling socks make my feet stink!

Main Mountain Biking

I’ve come to realize that the cause of the funk that my feet are accustomed to are due to my cycling socks!

I own dozens of cycling socks from various manufacturers. I wear them when I ride, with dress shoes, to the office, or with my Converse. At first I figured, I’ll wear some cool looking socks….cuz I love socks…with my everyday clothes, work clothes or going to the park. But I’m starting to realize that my feet get more sweaty, stinky…and straight out funky when I wear socks that are made with polyester or lycra.

But if I wear a good pair of cotton socks…my feet don’t smell…as bad.

Besides, cotton socks are way more comfy than the fake fiber stuff. They absorb more of the sweat, and keep my footsies…nice and smelling good! So if you have stinky feet, I feel for you. Try using cotton socks, you’ll see the difference. Oh by the way, you don’t have to wear tube socks when you ride. You can actually find some that are designed for athletic use.
