Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult athletes and active individuals, the WackySox Amber Gambler knee-length sports socks offer bold style and performance-enhancing features for sports like rugby, football, and hockey. Their key benefit lies in superior comfort and moisture management. A potential caveat is the importance of carefully selecting the correct size, as sizing options vary significantly from child to adult shoe sizes. These socks are made from a blend of polyamide and elastane, featuring moisture-wicking technology, an elasticated turnover top, smooth toe seams, and ankle support.

FAQs

How do I choose the correct size?

Please refer to the sizing chart carefully. Sizing is based on adult shoe sizes: Medium (M) fits Adult Shoe Size 2-6. Ensure you select the size that corresponds to your adult shoe size, as options for children's sizes are separate.

Can these socks be worn with shin pads?

Yes, they are designed to be worn comfortably with or without shin pads. The material and length accommodate shin guards.

Are these socks suitable for all sports?

They are ideal for high-impact sports like rugby, football, and hockey due to their durability, support, and moisture-wicking features. They can be worn for other athletic activities as well.

How do I wash and care for my WackySox?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not iron or dry clean.

What is the material composition?

The socks are made from 95% polyamide and 5% elastane, providing a comfortable, snug, and soft fit.

Do the socks stay up during intense play?

Yes, they feature a fully elasticated turnover top and an elasticated ankle band designed to keep the socks securely in place throughout matches and training.

What is the primary benefit of the footbed technology?

The COOLMAX Pro ultra-high performance padded footbeds regulate temperature and wick moisture, keeping your feet cool and dry during extended activity.

Troubleshooting

Socks slipping down during activity

Ensure the correct size is selected. Check that the elasticated turnover top is fully extended and seated properly at the knee. For a tighter fit, ensure the elasticated ankle and foot bands are not obstructed.

Feet feel damp or clammy

While designed for moisture-wicking, extreme conditions or activity levels might still produce sweat. Ensure socks are fully dry before use. If the issue persists, consider washing the socks to ensure the COOLMAX fibers are functioning optimally.

Discomfort or irritation at the toe seam

Verify that the socks are not inside out. The smooth toe seams are designed externally for comfort. If irritation occurs, ensure the correct size is being worn and that there are no foreign objects or rough patches inside the shoe.

Loss of elasticity over time

Avoid high heat drying (tumble drying on high or ironing) as this can degrade elastic fibers. Always follow the recommended cold wash and low/air dry care instructions.
