A high cuff (9cm) for full sock coverage and a double layer knit on the foot for increased protection ensures Castelli’s Belgian Bootie 4 offers enough warmth for early autumn or spring rides.

The oversocks are available in  ar ange of colour combinations too – black/white, black/green, blue/red and red/white – and, like most we’ve featured here, have cleat and heel cut-outs. There are reflective threads on the cuff and toe, too.
