What We Liked:

-Very stretchy material allows for most foot sizes

-Comfortable fabric effectively prevents chafing and wicks sweat away, even in hotter conditions

-Mom will appreciate that you are thinking about her, and the Chuck Taylor look will reveal your inner hipsterdom

What We Didn’t Like:

-Material at the cuff not quite expandable enough for larger quads

-May not be long enough for longer legged riders

What We Really Think:

If you wear knee braces, which we hope you do, long socks or leggings of some kind are a must.  Have you ever noticed what happens when you just use your braces on bare skin?  A sort of cheese develops on your legs that you didn’t know your body was capable of producing, and showing it to your riding buddies is a good way to evoke a gag reflex.  If grossing out your friends is not your priority though, and you like to remain cool and comfortable while motoing, AXO’s Long Socks are a very good option.
