Sticky Spray for Aero Socks - Suggestions

I’ve been using this that last couple months and it works perfectly. Rolls on like deodorant, wait 30-60 seconds and pull up socks. Sticks and never slides even when sweating heavily. Also easy clean up, wipes away with soap and water. Doesn’t stain or leave leftover after wash. I use wet wipe after I pull up the socks to remove any residue above the sock line and/or on my hands.

Highly recommended:

My silca aero socks don’t sag…

Love mine.

Hairspray works well on shaved legs!

Yes it can. Typically Mueller Pre Tape Spray is the best but even regular hair spray can work well

I’ve no knowledge on hairspray, what do I need to care about? :joy:

Thanks. Unfortunately in Austria this appears hard to get, so I’m looking generally at alternatives.

Its the cheapest and best way to get aero socks to adhere to skin, in my experience.

Will give this a shot, socks ended up well below calves in 20min on trainer

Dare I ask why you need aero socks on the trainer?

Testing to see if they stay up. How frustrating would it be in a race to have your sock fall down and go into the crank

slightly off topic, but has anybody run in aero socks? ie, for duathlon or triathlon, is there an aero sock you could wear on the bike and then transition to running without having to change? something that would be comfortable up to 1/2 marathon distance?

IIRC, when Jim @ ERO Sports did some testing on Silca aero socks, one athlete that did the testing was a high-level triathlete and they were using Silca aero socks in their events, for both the bike and run legs.

They are very comfortable socks and I could see running in them with no issue. They also go on like a regular pair of socks, so would be relatively easy to slide on in T1.

This works 100%

My partner wears Silca aero socks for her IM events, no issues whatsoever.

Silica stay up, my nopinz stay up also. Nopinz shoe covers don’t stay up

I’ve had excellent luck with a roll on product like that.

I use hairspray - Schwarzkopf got2b Glued to be precise. Works great in my Crits and Road Races.

Buy the cheapest hair spray you can find. Works like a treat. :ok_hand:t2:
