FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my Wackysox?
Please refer to the sizing guide provided: Extra Small (Child Shoe Size 9-12), Small (Child Shoe Size 12-2), Medium (Adult Shoe Size 2-6), Large (Adult Shoe Size 7-11), Extra Large (Adult Shoe Size 11-14), Extra Extra Large (Adult Shoe Size 14-18). It's crucial to choose based on your adult shoe size for the best fit.
Are these socks suitable for sports other than rugby, football, or hockey?
Yes, their moisture-wicking technology, comfort features, and secure fit make them suitable for any sport or activity where you need comfortable, high-performance socks.
Can I wear these socks with shin pads?
Yes, the socks are designed to be worn comfortably with or without shin pads.
How do I wash my Wackysox?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and do not iron.
What is the material of the socks?
The socks are made from 95% polyamide and 5% elastane for a snug, soft, and flexible fit.
Do the socks offer arch support?
The socks feature an elasticated central foot band that helps reduce slippage and provides some support, along with an elasticated ankle for added stability.
What does 'fully elasticated turnover top' mean?
This refers to the top band of the sock which is designed to be very stretchy and secure, ensuring it stays up around your knee without rolling down during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during activity
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the fully elasticated turnover top and elasticated central foot band are not obstructed and are sitting correctly on the leg and foot.
Feet feel hot or damp
While designed for moisture-wicking, extreme conditions might test the limits. Ensure socks are clean and free of debris. Consider if the footwear being worn is also contributing to heat retention.
Discomfort or chafing
Verify the size is correct; an ill-fitting sock can cause friction. Ensure smooth toe seams are properly aligned and not bunched up.
