FAQs
Are these socks suitable for all sports?
They are specifically optimized for rugby, hockey, and football due to their knee-length fit and shin guard compatibility.
Do I need to wear shin pad tape with these?
The reinforced elasticated top is designed to hold the sock in place, typically removing the need for external garters, though tape may still be used if preferred for extra security.
What material are the socks made of?
The product features a high-performance polyester-based composition, including Coolmax technology for moisture-wicking.
How should I wash them to keep them in good condition?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle without fabric softener and allow them to air dry to protect the technical fibers.
Is the toe seam noticeable?
No, the socks feature a flat toe seam design specifically intended to be unobtrusive and prevent blisters.
Can I use these for daily wear?
While intended for sports, they can be worn casually, but the knee-length, athletic fit is primarily optimized for high-intensity activity.
Troubleshooting
Sock sliding down during movement
Ensure the calf is dry before putting the sock on and verify the size is correct for your leg circumference.
Feeling too tight around the calf
Check that the reinforced top is not pulled too high above the knee and ensure the fabric is smoothed out evenly.
Moisture accumulation inside the shoe
Verify that your footwear also uses breathable materials and ensure you are not using heavy, non-breathable cotton inner layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure the sock is pulled evenly over the calf to allow the elasticated sections to sit correctly on the ankle and mid-foot. These socks are fully compatible with standard professional shin guards. To maintain the life of the garment, wash in cold or warm water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking synthetic fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the Coolmax technology. Air drying is recommended to prevent heat damage to the elastic components and to preserve the shape of the knit.
