FAQs
Are these socks suitable for children?
This specific variant is sized for adults (XL) and is designed with an adult athletic fit in mind.
Can I wear these with shin pads?
Yes, the material is elastic and flexible enough to be worn over standard sports shin pads.
What does the COOLMAX Pro technology do?
It uses specialized fibres to wick moisture away from the skin, helping to regulate foot temperature and keep you dry.
How do I prevent blisters with these socks?
The socks feature external smooth toe seams, which eliminate the bulky internal seams that typically rub against toes and cause blisters.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, but we recommend a cool wash and air drying to maintain the shape and elasticity of the socks.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during play
Ensure the elasticated turnover top is folded correctly and that the central foot band is positioned snugly around the arch of the foot.
Feeling damp inside the shoe
Verify that your shoes are also breathable and that the socks are not being washed with heavy fabric softeners which can clog moisture-wicking pores.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Advanced moisture-wicking fabric for temperature regulation
- Secure fit provided by elasticated top and foot bands
- External toe seams minimize the risk of friction blisters
- Durable construction suitable for contact sports like rugby
Cons
- Bold striped pattern may be too loud for some preferences
- Specific sizing (XL) may be too large for smaller athletes
- Requires careful laundering to maintain elasticity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your WackySox perform at their best, simply pull them on and adjust the elasticated turnover top to your preferred height just below the knee. They are fully compatible with standard shin guards; simply slide your guard onto your shin and pull the sock over it for a secure fit. For care, it is recommended to wash the socks in cold or lukewarm water to preserve the integrity of the elastic fibres and the moisture-wicking properties of the COOLMAX technology. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking synthetic fibres and reduce their effectiveness. Air drying is preferred to prevent heat damage to the elastic components.
