How to Use Football Socks Grip

Football grip socks are an essential item of kit for many footballers as they can be used to improve your game in a variety of ways. Grip socks can prevent your feet from slipping inside your boots which is a common problem during pre season training and match play and can cause injuries such as ankle and foot sprains. They also help to increase blood circulation which is a key factor in injury prevention, especially around the small muscles, ligaments and tendons in your feet and up into your ankles.

The base of grip socks is designed with non-slip rubber pads that make contact with the inner surface of your shoes and essentially hold your feet firmly in place. This reduces any movement or slippage of the feet within your boots which is a common problem for footballers and can lead to poor technique, balance and control. They are also great for anyone who plays team sports as stability is an important factor for all athletic activity.

If you are going to use a pair of grip socks you need to take some time to get them right. They should not be too tight as this can cause blisters. Depending on the brand you can find grip socks in various colours to match your team kits. You will need to cut off the foot of your team socks and then put the grip sock on top so that the non-slip pads are in contact with your shoe sole. football socks grip
