No Christmas would be complete without the gift of socks. I think it’s actually compulsory, isn’t it?

From the technical to the warming, and from the stylish to the sublime, there’s something here to suit feet of every size of foot and style of riding.

If you fancy something that makes a bit of a statement, both Broken Riders and Sockguy have some offerings with distinctive designs. Northwave have a longer length that will help keep your ankles warm in the wintry chilly weather.

All of them will happily fit chocolate, oranges, and various other gifts when attached to the mantelpiece. Remove contents before wearing.
