FAQs
Do I need to wear tape or garters with these socks?
No, the socks feature a strengthened elasticated knee area specifically designed to keep the socks up throughout the game without extra support.
Can these be tumble dried?
We recommend air drying. High temperatures in a tumble dryer can damage the elastane and reduce the lifespan of the elasticated sections.
Are these socks suitable for children?
These are specifically designed for adults. Please refer to our size guide to find the correct fit for your foot and leg length.
What is the primary material used?
The socks use a high-performance blend of Nylon, polyamide, and elastane, paired with Coolmax technology in the footbed.
Do these help prevent blisters?
Yes, the flat toe seam construction is specifically included to reduce friction in the toe area, which is a common cause of blisters.
Troubleshooting
Sock slipping down during play
Ensure the leg is dry before putting the sock on. If it persists, check if the elastic has lost its tension due to high-heat machine drying.
Feeling too tight around the calf
The compression is intentional for performance. If you experience circulation discomfort, ensure the sock is smoothed out fully and not bunched at the ankle.
Sweaty feet despite Coolmax
Check your footwear choice; ensure your boots have proper airflow or are not made of non-breathable materials that counteract the sock's venting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your WackySox, pull the sock on by gathering the leg fabric down to the heel, inserting your foot, and then smoothing the material up your calf. These socks are fully compatible with standard football and rugby footwear, including shin guards. For care, wash the socks in cool or lukewarm water (up to 30 degrees Celsius) using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the Coolmax technology. It is highly recommended to air dry these socks rather than using a tumble dryer, as heat can break down the elasticity in the polyamide and elastane blend.
