Roadie socks with padded toes
 

Hey Everyone

Does anyone have any brand/product name recommendations for cycling socks that have padded toes?
Last summer I developed a sore on the top of one of my toes (painful!) because my I had a bit too much play in that area of the shoe. Too bad cause I feel great in them.

Padded heel isn't needed, just the toes.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to another great summer for cycling.

no, really, they have a nice selection.

Seems to be a theme developing here... :p

Anyone else on blister-free socks with padded toes?

Socks....we don't need no stinkin' socks.

You must store your shoes 500 feet from the house. ;)

I use Performance Elite socks which are lightly padded in the toe area. Price is $5/pair.

I know this anathema to most cyclists, but you can find a good selection of padded socks at running stores.

My Hincapie Sports socks have really thick toes.

I've always worn wear SockGuy and DeFeet socks. Both have padded toes. In fact, I didn't know there were cycling socks without padded toes,

For what purpose are you looking for padded toes? Is it because you want to minimize vibration pains? Or get rid of blistering?

I want to eliminate blistering on top of the toes... it's really painful when you get blister there.

PCad, I haven't laughed at you that hard in weeks. I owe you another beer.

I really like Bridgedales light trekking socks. They do have a slightly padded heel, but the front padding is great. If you get the woolen ones, they are warm in winter and coolish in summer.
