I have some kalas high socks but they are slipping down the first miles (untill I start to sweat). Any advice for slipping socks?

Socks that don't slip down might be the answer.

The silca socks are excellent. The rewards scheme is worthwhile and got me a 2nd pair for the price of postage.

I can also recommend nologo cycling socks. The best socks I've ever had. Haven't tried merino and gravel yet but the classic model is perfect for on-road use.

The 1st, the best, and the only sock to use : ) trust me .....Their socks, Arm warmers, and gloves are the pefect blance of durability, comfort, cost and any other metric you would use to measure.... Seriously they are the best!!

Compressport aero socks never moved for over 5 month I use them under rain or during summer race in the alps hit by 40degC in the climbs. Super technical, crazy breathable and reinforced were needed

If you haven't ever tried any other brands, how would you know defeet are "the best"? :?: :mrgreen:
(I once had a pair of defeet aireators that nearly lasted 20 years :shock: )

Defeet do make some great products. I too have armwarmers from them that must be approaching 15 years of age and, other than some fading of the color, they show no signs of slipping or losing their grip. Their Levitator Lite socks are also great for cycling.
