In keeping with theme of footwear, we'll be highlighting on footwear. No, I do not have a fetish with feet, I just really like shoes and all things related to them. The topic this week is socks. They're a minor component in terms of cycling apparel, but they could define or erase the word "stylish". An ideal pair of socks would be high top socks that approach 2cm to the bulge of the calves; anything longer or shorter are frowned upon. (OREC #6) Here is a series of pictures for reference:

| These socks are way too short. (Tyler Farrar) |

| Black socks are ok if the shoes aren't black too. (Bradley Wiggins) |
 |
| As mentioned two weeks ago, black shoes + black socks = no go. (Lance Armstrong) |
 |
| Riding sockless is banned! |
Sorry to bash on our multisport brethren, but socklessness is as shameful as riding jersey-less; it's simply unstylish.
