FAQs

Are these socks suitable for kids?

This specific variant is an XL size designed for adults. We offer other sizes in the WackySox range that are suitable for different age groups.

Do I need to wear tape or garters with these?

No, these socks feature integrated elastication designed to hold them in place securely without additional support.

Can I use these for sports other than rugby or hockey?

While optimized for field sports involving shin guards, their moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for any high-intensity activity.

What is the primary material used?

These socks are constructed using high-performance polyester, chosen for its durability and moisture-wicking capabilities.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The XL size is intended for larger adult feet. Refer to your standard shoe size to ensure the XL profile matches your requirements.

Troubleshooting

Sock slipping down during play

Ensure the elasticated zones are pulled completely above the calf muscle and properly seated around the knee.

Fabric feeling damp after extended use

Avoid wearing thick cotton inner socks; the Coolmax technology is designed to be in direct contact with the skin to function properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Advanced moisture-wicking properties keep feet cool
  • Secure stay-up design eliminates the need for extra accessories
  • Designed specifically to accommodate bulky shin pads
  • Reinforced padding adds comfort during high-impact sports

Cons

  • Specific sizing (XL) may be too large for average foot profiles
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain fabric performance
  • Limited to specific sport-centric applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your WackySox, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the Coolmax fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the elastic fibers.
  3. Usage: Ensure the elasticized sections are positioned correctly around the knee and ankle before starting activity to maximize the stay-up effect.
  4. Compatibility: These socks are compatible with standard hockey and rugby shin guards. For best results, place the shin pad first, then pull the sock over the top.
