A strong choice for road riders, commuters and club riders wanting a breathable, supportive sock for warm-weather rides and longer days in the saddle.
The Castelli Espresso 15 Sock is a lightweight summer cycling sock built for riders who want a clean, comfortable fit without excess bulk. Its 15 cm height gives you a classic modern cycling look, while the tailored construction sits neatly inside your shoe and feels soft against the skin.
The breathable mesh cuff helps release heat, and the compression cuff provides a secure hold so the sock stays up as you ride. Q Skin yarn with antimicrobial silver ions helps reduce odour, making it a practical option for warm-weather riding and regular training.
For longer rides, the extra-cushioned footbed takes the edge off repeated pedal strokes, while arch support adds a stable feel through the foot. We recommend the Espresso 15 when you want a comfortable, breathable sock with subtle compression and a refined Deep Bordeaux colourway.
