The only other sock I've used for cycling is the Pearl iZUMi Attack Sock so I'll be comparing the SockGuy sock to that. First of all the fabric of the SockGuy sock is very nice and soft. It feels great and my feet didn't get at all sweaty during a 27 mile ride on a hot, humid day here in Southwest Florida.  The fabric is also the perfect thickness. It's thicker than a dress sock but much thinner than a cotton athletic sock. It's also a bit thicker than the Pearl iZumi Attack sock which is a plus to me. The cuffs of the sock are noticeably thicker than the rest of sock which is good too. The fit of the SockGuy sock is also better for me that the Attack sock. I bought the small/medium and the fit is perfect. My cycling shoes are a 42 and most of my other shoes are size 9. I haven't developed any hot spots from these socks but that's not a problem I've ever had with any type of sock. Lastly, these socks look awesome. I got the Beer:30 socks and the black and neon green looks really cool together and the lettering is nice and big. These socks are about $1 more than the Pearls but the better quality and the fun design is more than worth the extra dollar. I'll definitely be buying more SockGuy socks.
