This advanced technique allows different zones of the sock to perform specific functions. Lighter, more open-knit areas on the top of the foot enhance ventilation and moisture-wicking, keeping you cool and dry when the intensity rises. The ultra-fine, 200-needle construction results in a sock that is incredibly soft and stretchy, conforming perfectly to the contours of your foot for a sublime, bunch-free fit.Support is paramount for endurance cycling. The Premio 18 features a compressive midfoot band that gently cradles your arch, ensuring the sock stays perfectly in place and providing subtle support to reduce foot fatigue over long hours. This is enhanced by the anatomical, asymmetrical design that mirrors the left and right shape of your feet for a truly bespoke fit. For targeted comfort, a discreet cushioning pad is placed under the ball of the foot, dampening road vibration and reducing pressure at this key contact point.Finally, long-lasting freshness is guaranteed thanks to the inclusion of Meryl® Skinlife yarns. These premium fibers are infused with antimicrobial silver ions that actively inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, ensuring your feet stay fresher for longer. With a modern and professional 18 cm cuff height, the Castelli Premio 18 sock delivers on every promise, offering an unparalleled ride experience from the ground up.Technical Specifications* Product: CASTELLI Premio 18 Socks* Gender: Men* Material: Synthetic* Category: Clothing* Subcategory: Socks* Cuff Height: 18 cm
