adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks - Black - kids - 5-6

These sleeve socks are designed for football (soccer) players to securely hold shinpads in place and provide moisture-wicking benefits during intense activity. They are worn over an inner sock.

No, the adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are open-ended and are designed to be worn over your own preferred grip or padded socks. They do not include an integrated foot section.

This particular variant is sized for kids, UK size 5-6. This generally corresponds to a child's shoe size. It's important to select a size that provides a snug but comfortable fit around your calf and shin to effectively hold shinpads.

Machine wash them in cold water with similar colors. Do not use bleach or iron them. Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang them to air dry to maintain fabric integrity and performance.

AEROREADY is an adidas technology designed to absorb moisture and wick sweat away from your skin. This helps to keep you feeling dry, cool, and comfortable during physical activity.

Yes, these sleeves are made in part with recycled polyester (96% recycled polyester, 4% elastane), contributing to adidas' efforts towards sustainability.

While primarily designed for football due to shinpad retention and classic football aesthetics, they can potentially be used in any sport where leg compression, moisture-wicking, or shin protection (with shinpads) is beneficial, provided they are compatible with other gear.

Ensure you have the correct size. The ribbed cuffs are designed to provide a secure fit; if they are loose, the sleeve might be too large. Also, make sure your shinpads are not too bulky, which could prevent the sleeve from gripping properly.

Verify that your shinpads are positioned correctly and not excessively small or large for your shin. The sleeves are designed to hold shinpads securely; ensure they are pulled up fully and smoothly over the pads. Consider if your inner sock material is too slippery.

Check if the sleeves are stretched too tightly or if there are any wrinkles or bunched areas. Ensure your inner socks are smooth. The AEROREADY fabric is designed for comfort, but an improper fit can cause irritation.

Wash the sleeves immediately after use. Use a sports-specific detergent designed to combat odors. You can also try adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle for an extra odor-fighting boost. Ensure they are thoroughly dried before storage.
