Mint socks and Lake Shoes. A perfect pair. Two perfect pairs. I love these socks! I love these shoes! My feet take care of me, and I take care of my feet. Italian made socks that feel luxurious on and off the bike, and shoes with a proper wide toe box to give my toes room to spread! (A major cause of foot numbness in cycling is crunching up those toes.) I’ve worn tons of brands of socks, and Mint is my absolute favorite. Just look at those colors! Wash after wash, ride after ride, they hold their shape and they stay up. I have yet to wear through a toe or heel like I do with other brands (you know what I mean). And Lake shoes have the stiffest soles for the best power transfer, of any shoe I’ve worn. And I can’t afford to lose any power.
And if that wasn’t reason enough to love Mint, for every pair of socks she* sells, a percentage goes to the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, also known as NICA. Jump here to Mint’s SpinCycle News to read more about NICA.
Mint is also supporting our race team, Baltimore Bicycle Works Racing, with podium prizes for some of our junior girls at Falkorburg!
Also thanks to them for reminding us and the will have a women's race this year!
*Mint is woman owned and operated, by just one woman. The person who answers the phone, and packages the socks to send to me, is the same person. She’s it. And it’s been a pleasure to get to know her over the last several years since meeting her and buying my first pair in 2019 at the Philly Bike Expo.
