In recent years there has been a significant increase in the popularity of grip socks worldwide within the sporting industry. Whether you spend your weekends chasing an large plastic egg, or whether you prefer kicking a slightly more spherical ball around a field for one hour and a half, grip socks can have a distinctive impact on your performance.

The most common question asked about grip socks is, are they better for athletes than any other ordinary sock? The quick answer to that question is, YES! But why?

A very frustrating fact about ordinary sports socks is that they’re incredibly slippery within your footwear/boots. This can be very annoying when trying to change direction at top speed and in some cases can be dangerous and lead to lower leg/ankle injuries. Grip socks immediately eliminate this problem and provide a much more safe, stable base in your footwear that you can trust will not let you down. Meaning you can stop worrying about slipping in your shoes and focus on ripping up the field!

Quite possibly the most dreaded part of being a sportsperson is the nasty blisters retrieved from new boots or wearing non-grip socks. Blisters are generally caused by friction of the skin against something else, and with non-grip socks, the soles of feet can easily experience a ton of friction. Grip socks eliminate this problem, keeping your feet blister-free and ensuring you can continue playing the sport you love.
