FAQs
Are these socks suitable for both men and women?

What does the XL size correspond to?
The XL size is intended for users with larger calf circumferences or longer leg lengths.
Can I wear these under hockey shin pads?
Yes, their knee-length design makes them ideal for wearing under hockey shin pads.
How should I wash these socks to keep them in top shape?
Wash in cool water, preferably in a mesh laundry bag, and hang to air dry to protect the synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting
Sock keeps sliding down during play
Ensure the socks are fully extended to the knee and that the elastic cuff is not being stretched over bulky gear that might compromise its grip.
Fabric appearing fuzzy after repeated use
This is common with nylon-based sports gear. Use a fabric shaver gently on the surface to remove pilling, and avoid abrasive surfaces like rough velcro straps on shin guards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your WackySox, ensure you pull them on carefully to avoid snagging. These socks are compatible with standard sports shin pads and athletic footwear. For care, wash them in cool water with similar colored items to prevent the blue dye from bleeding into whites. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic nylon fibers over time; air drying is recommended to maintain the elasticity and shape of the hooped pattern.
