FAQs

Are these socks suitable for children?

These specific socks are designed for adults, though WackySox does produce variant lines with children-specific sizing.

Do I need to wear garters with these socks?

No, the socks feature strengthened elastication at the knee specifically designed to hold them in place without garters.

Can I tumble dry these socks?

It is not recommended to tumble dry on high heat as it can damage the elasticity of the fabric; air drying is the best way to maintain the product's lifespan.

What is the primary benefit of the Coolmax material?

Coolmax is a high-performance fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin to the surface of the sock, where it evaporates quickly to keep feet cool and dry.

Are these socks intended for specific sports?

They are highly effective for field sports requiring shin protection, such as football, hockey, and rugby.

Troubleshooting

Sock slipping down during play

Ensure the knee elastic is positioned correctly above the calf muscle and check that the size corresponds correctly to your leg dimensions.

Feeling too tight around the calf

Verify that your shin pads are not too thick for the fine-knit leg section and ensure the sock is pulled evenly to distribute tension.

Moisture accumulation

Ensure the socks are not being worn with non-breathable footwear that traps heat and moisture inside the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking performance
  • No need for separate garters due to secure knee elastic
  • Shin pad friendly design
  • Anti-blister flat toe seams
  • Breathable bridge ventilation

Cons

  • Specific sizing required for optimal fit
  • Primarily limited to adult unisex sizing
  • Material blend may require specific wash care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance, pull the sock on completely, ensuring the mid-foot elasticated band is aligned with the arch of your foot. When wearing shin pads, insert them after pulling the sock to mid-calf height, then pull the remaining fabric over the guard and adjust the knee elastic. For care, it is recommended to wash these in cool water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to preserve the elasticity of the Polyamide and Elastane fibers. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the Coolmax material.
