FAQs
Are these socks suitable for children?
The XS size is designed for UK shoe sizes 9-12, which typically covers young children, but please verify the athlete's foot size before purchasing.
Do I need garters with these socks?
No, the socks feature strengthened elastication around the knee designed to hold them in place throughout the game.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to air dry or use a low-heat tumble cycle to maintain the life of the elastic fibers.
What material are the socks made from?
They are manufactured in Great Britain using a high-performance blend of Coolmax and Polyamide.
Are they suitable for sports other than hockey or rugby?
Yes, they are suitable for any field sport where shin guards are used and moisture management is required.
Troubleshooting
Socks sliding down during play
Ensure the top elastic is pulled fully above the calf muscle and check that no fabric softeners were used, which can make the fibers slippery.
Shin pads moving inside the sock
Verify that you are using the correct size; if the leg section is too loose, the pad will not be held firmly against the leg.
Excessive moisture buildup
Ensure your footwear is breathable; the socks work best when they can release moisture into the shoe environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Wacky Sox, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Pull the sock on, ensuring the heel pad is correctly positioned. Slide your shin pad underneath the leg section.
- Compatibility: These socks are compatible with most standard slip-in shin pads. The elasticated top is designed to hold the sock up without secondary equipment.
- Care Instructions: Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking technology. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to protect the elastic integrity.
