FAQs
What size does this 'Small' variant fit?
This Small size is designed to fit UK child shoe sizes 12-2.
Do I need shin pad tape or garters with these socks?
No, the socks feature strengthened elastication around the knee and ankle to keep shin pads in place, eliminating the need for additional accessories.
Can these socks be used for sports other than hockey?
Yes, while designed for hockey, the moisture-wicking properties and leg support make them suitable for rugby, football, or any sport requiring shin protection.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to use a gentle cycle to maintain the longevity of the elastic fibers.
What is the material composition of the foot section?
The foot section is made from 75% Coolmax and 25% Polyamide for superior moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Shin pads sliding down during play
Ensure the elasticated ankle band is placed correctly and that the sock is pulled firmly up so the knee-level elastication sits snugly above the calf.
Feeling damp inside the shoe
Verify that the socks are not being washed with heavy fabric softeners, which can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the Coolmax fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for dry comfort
- Padded sole provides cushioning for high-impact sports
- Specifically designed to hold shin pads securely in place
- No-slip knee design removes the need for additional garters
Cons
- Specific sizing (UK 12-2) limits the age range for this small variant
- Polyamide/Nylon construction requires following specific care instructions
- The knee-high design may be too long for very young children
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the padded sole is aligned correctly under the arch of the foot. The elasticated ankle band should sit just below the shin guard to provide maximum security.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle to maintain the elasticity of the nylon/elastane blend.
- Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the Coolmax fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking efficiency.
- Air dry whenever possible to preserve the shape and elastic tension of the knee section.
- Check the size guide (UK Child 12-2) to ensure a proper fit; a sock that is too large will cause the shin pad to shift.
