FAQs
Can these be worn for non-field sports?
While designed for rugby, football, and hockey, their moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for any high-intensity activity requiring shin protection.
Do I need to buy garters with these socks?
No, the socks feature a strengthened knee area designed to keep them in place without the need for separate garters.
How do the flat toe seams help?
The flat seams sit flush against the skin, eliminating the bulky bump found in traditional socks that often causes friction and blisters.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed, but it is best to use a cool cycle and avoid fabric softeners to protect the performance fibers.
What does the Coolmax footbed do?
It uses advanced fibers to actively move sweat away from the foot to the surface of the sock, where it evaporates quickly.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down during a game
Ensure the elasticated mid-foot band is correctly positioned on the arch and that the size matches your foot dimensions.
Feeling too tight around the calf
Verify you are using the correct size; if the calf muscle is particularly developed, ensure the fine-knit fabric is stretched evenly over the shin guards.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior moisture-wicking properties keep feet dry
- Flat toe seams effectively prevent blister formation
- Eliminates the need for external sock garters
- Provides secure fit during rapid side-to-side movements

Cons
- Specific sizing required for optimal performance
- Limited to high-intensity field sports applications
- Requires careful hand-wash or delicate laundry cycle to maintain elasticity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size to benefit from the compression zones. When fitting, pull the leg section up firmly to engage the elasticated support, then position your shin guard comfortably within the fine-knit leg area. To maintain the elasticity and moisture-wicking properties, it is recommended to wash the socks at 30-40 degrees Celsius using a non-bio detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade the Coolmax moisture-wicking efficiency. Air dry the socks rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to prolong the lifespan of the elastic components.
