DeFeet for your feet

You may not think socks are the most exciting item on your biking gear list, but the right pair can make cycling so much more enjoyable. From bike commutes to work in Thunder Bay to gravel rides in North Vancouver, DeFeet socks are a great option. They’re long-lasting and give you a snug fit.

Not your ordinary sock

Since 1992, DeFeet has crafted comfortable socks in North Carolina with an eye toward responsible, local manufacturing (they call themselves a “microsockery”). The company’s durable designs include important features like no-slip cuffs, low-profile toe seams and extra padding where it’s needed.

MEC carries a bunch of their socks made with quick-drying materials and outdoor-friendly materials, like merino wool, recycled nylon and Lycra® for added stretch. Plus, they come in fun designs and colours.
