If you wear these socks for your MTB, you belong to the "chain right" faction. This will make it unmistakably clear to anyone overtaking you: you belong on the cycle path and not on the race track! 17 Euro >> available at Tradeinn.
Attention: the perfect sock length
There really is such a thing as the perfect length for MTB socks. Style expert Steffi Marth has spent a long time thinking about it: too short is nothing, and neither is too long. The top edge of the sock should be no lower than the base of the calf muscle and reach no further than the widest part of the calf muscle.
