Frosty early starts on long training rides send the cold straight to the toes and shins, and the Deep Winter Socks answer with a thick wind-resistant panel up the front of the shin and a wind-resistant facing over the toes. The long-cut leg adds coverage up the lower leg, so these winter cycling socks keep more of the leg protected from the wind. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"On steady rides along exposed roads, the padded footbed held warmth under my feet for hours at a time. My toes stayed comfortable through the final miles, so I paid attention to the road."
