Tell your boss to wake up!
Clothes are high margin items and they can help you through the Christmas/ winter season.
Also women tend to buy A LOT of clothes and they are far more loyal customers than men.
Try out some basic jerseys and socks. Let the number speak for themselves.
About the cycling specific socks it is not only the material but the placement of seams especially in the toe cup. That makes a huge difference in comfort.
You spent how much on shoes only to buy cheap socks?
