Can I wear shin pads with these socks?

How should I care for my WackySox to ensure they last?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid ironing and fabric softeners to preserve the technical properties.
Do the socks offer arch support?
The socks feature an elasticated central foot band which helps to reduce slippage and provides a degree of support, along with an elasticated ankle for further stability.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during activity
Ensure the fully elasticated turnover top is correctly positioned and the size is appropriate for your leg. The elasticated ankle and central foot band should also provide adequate grip.
Feet feel damp or sweaty
While designed for moisture-wicking, extreme conditions might push the limits. Ensure socks are not too tight, which can impede circulation and moisture management. Check that the footwear is also breathable.
Blisters developing
Verify correct sizing, as a poor fit can cause friction. Ensure socks are pulled up smoothly without excessive bunching. The smooth toe seams are designed to prevent this, but fit is paramount.
Material feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fibers. Ensure the socks are air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting.
