ASSOS ENDURANCE S11 Socks White

The Assos Endurance Socks S11 have been specially developed to meet the demands of long-distance rides, gran fondos and long gravel adventures. While the Racing range focuses entirely on pure aerodynamics, this model prioritises uncompromising comfort and excellent foot stabilisation inside the shoe over hours in the saddle.

The leg benefits from a stretch technical mesh structure that provides gentle, continuous compression, promoting venous return and reducing muscle fatigue. On the instep, an ultra-breathable mesh weave accelerates moisture wicking and actively cools the foot in warm weather. The heel and toe are knitted with reinforced yarns to subtly cushion pressure points and eliminate the friction responsible for blisters.

What is the main difference between this Endurance S11 model and the Racing S11 model? The Racing S11 model features a leg with textured fabric specifically designed to smooth airflow and optimise aerodynamics in competition. The Endurance S11 model focuses on long-term thermal and mechanical comfort: its knit is designed to provide excellent arch support and continuous moisture wicking over multi-hour rides.

Do these socks grip the ankle tightly? They provide a noticeably compressive hold, but this is ergonomically designed to never cut off circulation or create a tourniquet effect at the calf. This light compression is essential to prevent the sock from slipping during pedalling and to help reduce foot fatigue.

How should these socks be washed to preserve their elasticity? Machine wash at 30°C using a delicate textile programme and ideally a laundry bag. Do not use fabric softener, as this damages the breathable and elastic properties of the technical fibres. Air dry (do not tumble dry).
