FAQs
Are these socks left and right foot specific?
Yes, they feature an anatomical design that is contoured to the shape of the left and right foot for a more secure fit.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to use a low heat setting to preserve the elasticity of the fabric.
What is the main material used?
The socks are made from 98% nylon and 2% elastane.
Do these socks help with blister prevention?
Yes, the moisture-wicking Dri-Fit technology and the anatomical fit help reduce friction and moisture, which are primary causes of blisters.
Are these suitable for sports other than football?
While designed for football, their moisture-wicking and durable construction make them suitable for other field sports like rugby or field hockey.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during a game
Ensure the calf is dry before putting the socks on and check that the ribbed cuff is properly folded or positioned over the shin guard.
Feeling too tight around the calf
The socks are designed for a compression fit; try pulling the fabric down slightly from the top to redistribute the tension across the leg.
Material pilling or looking worn
Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or clothing with heavy zippers; use a mesh laundry bag for protection.
Pros and Cons

- Reinforced stress zones increase product longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the sock on starting with the toe, smoothing out any wrinkles before pulling the cuff up to the desired height. These socks are highly compatible with all standard football cleats and training boots. For care, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to maintain the elasticity of the nylon and elastane blend.
