Product Information

Full details

WackySox Classic Hoop Sports Socks are engineered for adult athletes participating in high-intensity field sports like rugby, football, and hockey who require a combination of moisture management and secure fit. These knee-length, nylon-based socks feature advanced Coolmax footbeds and elasticated support to keep feet dry and prevent bunching during movement. While they offer excellent performance, users should ensure they select the correct size, as the XL model is specifically tailored for UK shoe sizes 11-14.

FAQs

What shoe sizes does the XL size fit?

The XL size is specifically designed for UK shoe sizes 11 to 14.

Do I need to wear garters with these socks?

No, these socks feature strengthened elastication at the knee designed to keep them in place without extra equipment.

Are these socks suitable for machine washing?

Yes, but they should be washed in cool water without fabric softener to maintain the moisture-wicking properties.

Can I wear shin pads under these socks?

Yes, the fine-knit leg section is specifically designed to make inserting and wearing shin pads comfortable and secure.

What is the primary material used in these socks?

They are constructed from a durable nylon blend with high-performance Coolmax footbed technology.

Troubleshooting

Sock slipping down during play

Ensure the elasticated knee band is pulled fully up and sits directly on the skin, avoiding thick base layers underneath the cuff.

Feeling damp or hot during a match

Check that the socks are not being washed with fabric softener, which blocks the breathable pores of the moisture-wicking fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your WackySox maintain their performance properties, follow these guidelines:

Fitting: Pull the foot section on first, ensuring the heel cup aligns with your actual heel. Pull the leg section up until the elasticated band sits securely just below the knee.
Shin Pad Usage: Insert shin pads between the sock and the skin or directly over a base-layer sleeve if preferred; the fine-knit leg is flexible enough to accommodate most standard pads.
Care Instructions: Machine wash at a cool temperature. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers of the Coolmax footbed and reduce their efficiency. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the nylon blend.
