WHAT ARE GRIPSOCKS?
Grip socks are technical sports socks. They have grip pads on the sole and heel. These grip pads ensure that your foot no longer moves or slides in your shoe during explosive changes of direction, jumps, acceleration or when braking.
WHY WEAR GRIP SOCKS?
When your foot slides or moves in your shoe, there are a number of negative consequences. It is far from optimal, not only in terms of injuries, but also for your performance.
GO FOR GRIP AND AVOID INJURIES
If your foot moves in your shoe while playing basketball, you will literally try to grab yourself with your toes to keep from sliding. This means that your foot muscles have to work extra and they can become overloaded. This in turn places extra strain on the Achilles tendon, resulting in irritation and possibly inflammation. You also develop blisters due to the friction between your shoe and your foot. By wearing grip socks you remove that movement and friction. This way you avoid blisters, foot & Achilles tendon injuries!
PERFORM OPTIMAL...
...You deserve it! Grip socks ensure that you do not lose strength and maintain maximum power in the push-off from foot to foot. They give you perfect stability. From now on you will no longer be distracted by sliding your feet in your football boots. No strength or speed is lost simply by wearing the wrong socks. You make even better actions at high speed and you can anticipate more easily. No more worries about your feet being bothered. Grip socks are therefore the ideal decision to take your own performance to a higher level!
