FAQs

Are these socks suitable for daily wear?

While they can be worn daily, they are specifically engineered for high-performance sports like rugby and hockey.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry these socks to protect the elastic and technical fabric fibers from heat degradation.

Do these socks come with padding for the shins?

No, these are socks designed to accommodate your own shin pads; the padding is located on the sole of the foot.

Is the sizing gender-neutral?

Yes, these are unisex socks designed to fit a wide range of athletes based on the listed size.

How do I ensure the best fit for shin pads?

Place your shin pads on your leg first, then pull the WackySox over the pads, utilizing the extra-stretch fine-knit leg section.

Troubleshooting

Sock slipping down during play

Ensure the knee elastic is positioned correctly and check that the sock size matches your leg dimensions.

Feeling too tight around the shin guard

Ensure the leg section is pulled up fully and smoothed out to distribute the stretch evenly across the calf.

Reduced moisture-wicking effectiveness

Wash the socks without fabric softener to remove any residue that may be clogging the synthetic fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for dry feet
  • Enhanced comfort via padded sole construction
  • Secure fit that prevents sagging during sports
  • Designed to easily accommodate shin guards

Cons

  • Specific sizing must be strictly followed for elastic support to work correctly
  • Material blend may feel different than standard cotton socks
  • Limited to high-intensity athletic use cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best performance, pull the sock on slowly to ensure the ankle support is correctly aligned with your heel and ankle joint. When putting on shin guards, insert them through the wide-stretch leg section before folding the top cuff down if necessary. To maintain the integrity of the elastic and moisture-wicking properties, wash these socks in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the Coolmax moisture-wicking technology. Hang-dry the socks when possible to prevent heat damage to the elastic fibers.
