What Are Athletic Grip Socks?

Athletic grip socks are designed to increase your foot’s grip inside the boot, helping to reduce internal slippage. They are typically made from breathable materials which helps to reduce the amount your feet sweat, and they also feature grippy pads in the form of rubber traction. This helps to stop your feet from slipping up and down, and rubbing against the inside of your boots which can cause blisters.

These gripping socks are based on the feet of geckos who are known for their ability to stick to any surface with ease, with Nike designing a special yarn that works in combination with a ribbed sole to provide athletes with an added advantage. They can be worn either with or without your normal performance socks and are great for any sport, exercise or training session that requires quick reactions.

The main benefits of wearing grip socks are increased stability & control, reduced injury risk, and a much more comfortable fit. This can help to improve your performance, as you can focus more on the action and less on worrying about the state of your feet.

Grip socks are often worn by football players who wish to reduce the chance of blisters – especially during pre-season and in new boots. As the weather gets hotter, your feet tend to sweat more which can lead to them slipping up and down & rubbing against your boots, causing blisters – so this is where grip socks come in handy!
