FAQs
Can these be worn for sports other than rugby or football?
Yes, their moisture-wicking properties and secure fit make them suitable for any field sport including hockey, lacrosse, or field training.
Do I need to wear shin guards with these?
No, they are designed to be worn comfortably either with or without shin pads.
How do the smooth toe seams help?
The external smooth toe seams eliminate the bulky ridge found in standard socks, which is the leading cause of friction-related blisters.
Are these socks suitable for machine washing?
Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend washing at 40 degrees or lower and avoiding fabric softeners to protect the technical fibers.
What is the benefit of the COOLMAX technology?
COOLMAX Pro regulates temperature by wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable even during intense activity.
How do I choose the right size?
Select your size based on your standard shoe size/apparel sizing guidelines; these are designed to provide a snug, supportive fit.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping down during play
Ensure the turnover top is placed securely above the calf muscle and verify that the sock is the correct size for your leg diameter.
Feeling too tight over shin pads
Check if your shin pads are excessively bulky; the socks are designed for standard profile pads. Try adjusting the shin pad position lower on the shin.
Material losing elasticity
Check your washing cycle; ensure you are not using high-heat settings or harsh detergents that break down the nylon elastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your WackySox, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fitting: When putting on the socks, ensure the padded `COOLMAX` footbed is aligned correctly under the sole. If using shin pads, pull the socks over the pads to ensure the elasticated turnover top rests above the calf to maintain a secure hold.
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (30-40 degrees Celsius). Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the COOLMAX technology.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. High-heat tumble drying can damage the elastic components and weaken the nylon fibers over time.
- Compatibility: These socks are compatible with most standard sports footwear, though the padded footbed may require slightly more room in very tight-fitting cleats.
