| FAQ |
Q1: How does Rapha sizing run for the Pro Team Sock — should I size up or down? Rapha socks are sized by shoe size and generally run true to size. The 10% Elastane content gives the fabric meaningful stretch, so if you're between sizes most riders find the smaller size performs better — it keeps the arch brace snug and prevents the sock from bunching inside a cycling shoe. Our staff can help you cross-reference your shoe size to the Rapha size chart in-store. Q2: Are these socks suitable for riding in Okanagan summer heat? Yes — the Pro Team Sock Short is specifically recommended for cool to hot conditions, and the short cuff length and breathable mesh upper make it one of Rapha's most heat-appropriate options. For Kelowna's 35°C summer rides on the KVR or Okanagan Rail Trail, this sock is a better choice than the Regular or Extra Long cuff versions. Q3: How do I care for nylon/elastane cycling socks to maintain their performance? Rapha recommends hand washing or a machine delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a mild detergent. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry — heat degrades elastane and causes the cuff to lose its compressive structure over time. Air drying flat or hanging keeps the sock's shape and extends its lifespan significantly. |
