WHAT ARE THE WHITE SOCKS ALL THE FOOTBALLERS ARE WEARING?

You might have noticed, the world’s best footballers are playing in socks that often don’t match their team’s normal football socks. They cut the bottoms off to wear (usually) a white pair. But why are they doing that?

You might have noticed, the world’s best footballers are playing in socks that often don’t match their team’s normal football socks. They cut the bottoms off to wear (usually) a white pair. But why are they doing that?

They are wearing football grip socks. If you haven’t worn them while you are playing, they will change your game! But what actually are they and why are the world’s best players wearing them more and more?

WHAT ARE THE WHITE SOCKS ALL THE FOOTBALLERS ARE WEARING?

Grip socks have small rubber grips on the sole and help provide you with more support and control within your boots. They prevent blisters, help you change direct and have even been scientifically proven to reduce your risk of suffering injuries while you’re playing football.

Your normal football kit socks are mass-produced and generally poor quality which leads to you getting blisters (especially in preseason), sweaty feet and just generally being uncomfortable. Grip socks help to reduce blisters by providing additional support to the bottom of your feet so you don’t slide around inside your boots. They have padding around the heel and are made of breathable material to allow your feet to cool down, especially in the summer months.

To wear them, you typically put your shin pads on as normal, wear the grip socks which come to just above your ankle (just like normal sports socks). Then you can either cut off the foot of your kit’s football socks or order some pre-cut football sock sleeves, which are essentially football socks with the foot removed… (you can order some of them from Grippy Sports). And then tape the two together using sock tape or sock wrapthen stick your boots on and you’re good to go!

Grippy Sports supplies socks to players of all levels, all over the world - they’ve been worn in the Premier League, the Women’s Super League and even the World Cup! Liverpool’s Darwin Nuñez wore them in his first ever Merseyside Derby!
