FAQs
What shoe size does the Size L cover?
The Size L WackySox is designed to fit UK shoe sizes 7-11.
Do I need to wear garters with these socks?
No, the socks feature strengthened elastication around the knee designed to keep them in place during play.
Are these suitable for rugby?
Yes, these are specifically designed for high-performance sports including rugby, football, and hockey.
How do I wash them to keep the Coolmax technology working?
Wash on a cool cycle and avoid fabric softeners, as these can block the moisture-wicking capabilities of the fabric.
What is the material composition?
These socks are primarily constructed from high-performance nylon.
Will they cause blisters?
The socks feature a flat toe seam specifically designed to minimize friction and help prevent blisters.
Troubleshooting
Sock keeps sliding down
Ensure the elasticated knee band is pulled high enough and that no clothing material is bunched underneath the band.
Feel too tight over shin guards
Ensure the shin guard is centered correctly and the fine knit section is fully stretched to its maximum extent without twisting.
Feeling damp after play
Check that the socks were not washed with fabric softener, as this clogs the Coolmax moisture-wicking pores.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-performance moisture-wicking material
- Ergonomic fit with ankle and central arch support
- Excellent stretch accommodates shin guards easily
- Reinforced knee band removes need for garters
- Blister-reducing flat toe seam
Cons
- Specific sizing (L covers UK 7-11)
- Nylon material may feel different than cotton alternatives
- Designed primarily for sports, may be too tight for casual wear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure the footbed is positioned correctly before sliding on your shin guards. If you find the elastic top too tight during initial wear, ensure the sock is pulled evenly from the heel up to prevent unnecessary tension.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool setting (30-40 degrees Celsius) to preserve the integrity of the elastic fibers.
- Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness.
- Air dry whenever possible to extend the life of the nylon material.
- Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects, such as Velcro strips on some shin pads, to prevent pulls or snags.
