Rapha’s Merino socks have been a long-time favourite of the RCUK team, but during the winter they’re sometimes just a little too thin, and a bit short, for keeping our collective toes warm. So Rapha has released proper Winter Socks.

The Winter Socks are made from thicker Merino wool and are designed “for maximum warmth and comfort on even the coldest training runs.” The new socks are not only thicker for added insulation, with padded toe and footbed, but are also longer to ensure your ankles are totally covered up.

Flat hand-locked stitching should ensure durability around the toes and the elasticated ankle cuff, once folded down, reveals a discrete sewn-in Rapha logo.

Available in four sizes in just Black (with pink detailing) for £20 from www.rapha.cc
