SOXPro Grip Socks Review

Grip socks have become a staple for many football players seeking better stability and comfort inside their boots. SOXPro, a new brand entering the US market, aims to deliver that performance edge at a competitive price. Designed by former professional player Cristian Di Leo, these socks blend compression-like fit with targeted silicone grip technology.

Performance and Grip Technology

How Grip Socks Work

The primary function of a grip sock is to reduce slipping inside the boot, allowing for quicker torque and twist movements at speed. SOXPro achieves this with arrow-shaped silicone placed underfoot and along the heel.

Fit and Comfort

Testing over several weeks with different boot silos shows that SOXPro socks fit exceptionally well. They offer a compression-like feel with contouring in key areas, providing comfort without restricting circulation. The result is a snug, comfortable wear that stays in place during play.

Grip: IN Action

The anti-slip arrows create strong adhesion between the sock and the inner sole of the shoe. This “Grip: IN” action is especially noticeable during dynamic movements, as the arrows generate high levels of traction. Placing silicone not only on the sole but also along the heel improves grip during lateral and vertical movements, reducing unwanted foot shift inside the boot.

Overall Performance

In terms of grip and comfort, SOXPro ranks among the best grip socks tested. The fit is precise, the grip is noticeable, and the price point makes them a better value compared to many competing brands.

How to Wear SOXPro Socks

Many professional players wear grip socks under their game socks. To do this, you need to cut the game sock at the ankle so the grip sock remains visible. SOXPro offers a wide range of colors to match team kits. Using same-colored tape helps secure the connection between the two sock layers.

If you prefer not to cut your game socks, you can wear SOXPro over them. However, this creates a very snug fit inside the boot. While narrow-footed players may not mind, medium to wide feet might find the double layer too restrictive. Additionally, an extra layer can reduce natural feel on the ball.

For practice or training sessions, you can wear SOXPro on their own – unless shinguards are required, in which case cutting the primary practice socks and using tape will be necessary.

Are They Worth the Money?

SOXPro socks deliver solid performance at a more affordable price than many alternatives. The benefits – improved grip, reduced slippage, and added comfort – make them worth trying at least once. Even if they do not dramatically improve your game, they serve as a useful extra sock option. There is little risk of negative results from wearing them.

Benefits of Wearing SOXPro Socks

According to the brand, SOXPro socks provide:

Greater comfort and balance, with extra cushioning to protect the foot and arch from shocks.
Extraordinary sensation of power transfer during performance.
Increased speed and explosiveness when changing direction.
Reduction of sprains caused by lateral foot movement.
Reduction of micro movements that occur in sports such as soccer, rugby, tennis, and volleyball.
Prevention of blisters caused by the sock slipping on moist skin, thanks to the Grip: IN action on the heel.

Care Instructions

To maintain the grip silicone’s effectiveness:

Wash in cold water by hand or in a washing machine at a maximum of 30 °C.
Turn the socks inside out before washing.
Do not use bleach.
Dry in open air only; do not use a dryer.
Avoid exposure to excessive heat, such as placing directly on a hot radiator.
