FAQs
Can I wear these with shin pads?
Yes, they are specifically designed to be worn comfortably either with or without shin pads.
Are these socks suitable for children?
This specific variant is designed for adults. Please check for specific youth-sized versions if purchasing for children.
What material helps keep the feet dry?
The socks utilize COOLMAX Pro technology in the footbed, which is designed for superior moisture management and temperature regulation.
How do I prevent the socks from sliding down?
The socks feature a dedicated elasticated turnover top and a central foot band to lock them in place during intense activity.
Are these socks seam-free?
They feature external smooth toe seams, which are designed to sit outside the pressure points of your boots to prevent blisters.
Should I tumble dry these socks?
It is recommended to avoid high-heat tumble drying to protect the elasticated fibers and performance padding.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping down during play
Ensure the turnover top is fully engaged and check that the size matches your calf circumference; if too loose, consider a smaller size.
Foot feels too hot or damp
Ensure the socks are worn directly against the skin so the COOLMAX footbed can effectively wick moisture away from the foot.
Blisters forming despite seamless design
Check if the sock is being pulled too tightly in the toe area; allow enough slack in the footbed so the material does not pull against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your WackySox, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Pull the sock up evenly, aligning the heel pocket before securing the elasticated turnover top.
- Compatibility: These are designed for use in adult sports; they can be worn directly against the skin or over base-layer foot protection. They work seamlessly with standard hard-shell shin pads.
- Care: Machine wash in cold water to preserve the elasticity of the bands. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the specialized COOLMAX fibers and elastic components.
