![]() Two happy feet make one happy rider. Say hello to the Muxu Ride Sock. Made from over 60% merino wool, the Ride Sock is highly comfortable, anti bacterial and breathable, offering a cuff length that gets the balance right between ankle coverage and consideration to on and off the bike style. With a slightly thicker fabric at the heel and toe box, the Muxu Sock is reinforced in all the right places for a long spinning life. It isn't often noted, but the foot is one of the best places to attract a driver's attention at night, so with this in mind, Muxu added a woven reflective strip at the rear of the sock that will help ensure you are seen when the light fails. Discretely placed during the day, it simply melds into the design, but at night it lights up like a Christmas tree when light hits it. Designed in Barcelona, made in Portugal, the Muxu Ride Sock is available to buy today.
![]() Muxu (pronounced 'Moo Shoe') make clothing designed for urban cyclists, born from a love of the bike and the needs of the rider. Taking the cyclist seamlessly through the day, Muxu apparel blurs the boundary between what you wear on and off the bike. From a light commute, a game of bike polo, to 100 kilometre messenger days, your Muxu is designed to look and feel amazing, whilst functioning without compromise. Designed in Barcelona, and made in Portugal, for a ride that is as unforgettable as the city. ![]() Muxu's ride socks are stylish, practical, comfortable and durable, and as such go a long way to justifying their hefty price tag. They're a bit too warm for the really hot days but great for general riding, with a cut and style that performs on the road and doesn't make you look like a freak off the bike. Made from a mixture of 60% merino wool, 38% polyamide and 2% elastane, the socks are comfortable from the off. There's a mix of different weaves used, including a thicker ribbed section along the sole that adds a bit of cushioning as well as making the socks a bit more hardy.
Cuff length is just about right: long enough to cover the ankle and look okay with normal shoes, not too long so you get weird tan lines or have to roll them down. The neutral styling helps too, with a black/grey mix and a discrete logo.
Muxu have also added a reflective strip, which is actually a reflective filament woven into the sock around the rear of the ankle. That's one of the best places to have reflective as your feet are constantly moving and it's more noticeable, and the fact it's woven in means it's there to stay too.
I found the socks very comfy and good at wicking away foot perspiration. They never felt clammy, although they do make your feet warmer than a thin road sock on a hot day. They resist whiffs well too, and come out of the washing machine looking like new. £15 is a lot to spend on a pair of socks but they're really good, and finding really good socks is a rare joy for a cyclist. Overall they didn't quite knock the Solo Merino sock off the top of my sock hall of fame, but they're right up there in the mix.
Verdict
Everything you want from a cycling sock, unless one of the things you want is for it to be cheap - 8/10 If you have bought this product, why not write a review and help other riders to make an informed choice. Just click here.

What can I say? I've been wearing these socks for two weeks in a row during my commutes without noticing any unpleasant odor. Easily the best pair of socks I've owned.

by Rob Sandiford from United Kingdom on 22/12/2010
Easily the best socks for cycling, or perhaps for anything outdoor! They have kept my feet nice and warm but in a comfortable and not suffocating way! I could wear these all day every day!

very comfortable, good quality and perfect fit. Suitable for autumn or cool summer days.
by Captain Flash from United States on 02/07/2010
Just so comfy, and the reflective rear strip is a nice touch. Not too obvious in the daylight, but perfect at night. Like another reviewer said, it is a lower cuff than i'm used to, but I like it, and i'll definitely be buying more.

These socks are fantastic! Really comfortable and understated design (i like understated!). These are slightly shorter than I have been used to but not a problem at all. Will be buying more when the Minister of Finance is not paying attention ;-) Highly recommended, keep up the good work Muxu - can't wait to see an expanded range.

Bought them for my half and he really likes them. We are going on a touring holiday for a few weeks so I think I may be buying another couple of them! The reflective strip is such a great idea!

Socks with a reflective strip? I had to buy these, tired as I am of being ignored by city drivers. I was worried the reflective strip would be a stick on sort, but actually (and reading above I should have paid more attention) it is actually part of the sock fabric. Aside from that, they are really comfortable, and I like most the slight cushioning on the underside of the foot, and the thicker toe box. All in all, my new favourite socks. I guess £15 is a lot for these, but having this level of comfort, the reflectivity, and a merino fabric, well, i'm happy. Got an in depth product question, or want to ask something else related to this product? Whatever your question, simple post it here, and we'll answer you faster than a speeding bullet.Hi, would you recommend these socks for winter cycling on the road?

Thanks for the question - yes, we certainly would. The Muxu Socks are exceptionally warm, and we particularly like the fact that the underside is slightly padded for comfort. Either at home relaxing post- bike without shoes, or on the bike during a serious session, they really are a superb cycling sock.
