Under cycling socks, you find the compression socks from 2XU in the women's range. They reach over the calf and apply pressure that decreases from bottom to top, the principle the brand became known for.

2XU cycling socks for women

The graduated compression is designed to support venous return and delay the feeling of fatigue during long efforts. The scientific evidence on this is not clear; many athletes mainly describe a calmer feeling in the calf over long distances.

The approach was developed for triathlon, where the same sock is worn for the bike and run legs. On the road bike, the higher cuff also matters, because it protects the calf from sun and spray.

Tip: With compression socks, the calf circumference is more important than the shoe size. If the cuff is too loose, there is no compression effect left.
