Excellent question! Never pondered this because I've never been a white shoe level rider. I suppose white socks might be less hot in the summer and of course you wouldn't wear the white shoes before Easter or after Labor day. If you did have to change from black socks, you could wipe your hands on your bibs, that's one of a few reasons they are black.
