Now that I experienced the amp with the socks, I’m pretty sure it didn’t help as you mentioned. With my normal compression type giro or castelli socks the amp actually makes those socks stick. Maybe because that material absorbs better. But with the silicone gripper on the aero socks, I think it just made it created an anti-tacky surface and they slip right down. Thanks for the spray on bandage adhesive suggestion! I’ll check the interwebs for something. Any particular brand you’ve had success with over others?
