How to choose the best football grip socks?

If you are looking to buy football grip socks there are many factors to consider:

Football Grip Sock Pads

Make sure the grip socks you’re buying have high quality rubber grips on the bottoms of them. The last thing you want is these rubber pads falling off.

Overall fit

Grip socks should feel like normal football socks. A good balance between not being too tight or too loose is what you’re looking for.

Grip sock material

Are the grip socks made from moisture wicking fabric? All deploy grip socks are made from hyper advanced wicking fabrics, helping your feet stay dry and cool throughout a game.

Cushioning and comfort

Grip socks shouldn’t be thin. They should provide additional comfort to your feet and toes throughout a game.

Durability

Grip socks should be able to withstand constant use and washing. When you put them in the wash after a game the fabric should remain soft and the grips shouldn’t fall off. Our grip socks are tried and tested with constant use and washing to ensure you don’t experience these issues.

How to wear your Football Grip Socks to get the best out of them?

To get the most out of your Football Grip Socks, you should:

• Wear them as your primary sock – football grip socks should be your only base layer around your feet, rather than the regular football/soccer socks. Most players who wear football grip socks either cut their regular football socks at the bottom, or buy footless football/soccer socks so they can wear them over the top of their grip socks.
• Wash them regularly – After each use you should wash your football grip socks on a lower temperature to ensure that the rubber pads don’t come off. Turning them inside out will also help to ensure the longevity of the rubber pads.
