The Specialized winter socks are easily the thinnest on test and if it weren’t for the Thermolite tag you could easily mistake them for regular DeFeet or Sock Guy summer socks. Our socks were showing signs of wear around the heel after one ride but they didn’t seem to get any worse with repeated use. Nothing like as warm as the thicker Endura or DeFeet socks tested here, but the Specialized winter socks are worth considering as part of a layering system with a tight fitting pair of race shoes and some overshoes when the temperatures really plummet.
