Soccer Sock : What is it?
| Soccer socks are designed to absorb sweat and keep the feet dry when playing soccer. They also keep the shin guard in place and provide support to the feet and ankles. Some can also cushion the feet and reduce impact against the ground during jumps and runs. Most soccer socks are knee-length to protect the legs from scratches, blisters, and skin injuries from falls and rough contact.

Kinds of Soccer Socks include the following: |
Nylon Soccer Socks
Nylon Soccer Socks are fairly durable and resilient. They can withstand frequent stretching and pulling. They are less absorbent than other sock materials, which may make them heavy and uncomfortable when wet.
Acrylic Soccer Socks
Acrylic socks are blended with microfibers to make them more stretchable and absorbent. They have moisture-wicking properties, which enable them to absorb and dry large amounts of sweat.
Cotton Soccer Socks
Cotton socks are relatively durable, but are not very elastic. They also have poor wicking abilities and cannot hold their shape as well as nylon or acrylic.
Polyester Soccer Socks
Polyester socks are thick, breathable, and absorbent. They can also withstand frequent washing without shrinking or fraying.
Spandex Soccer Socks
Spandex socks are very stretchable, allowing for an easier fit. They also have excellent moisture-wicking capacities. |

Thickness: Choose thick soccer socks to keep your feet warm when playing in cold weather. Cotton and nylon have excellent insulating capacities. Choose thin, breathable socks like spandex and acrylic for playing in the summer or in hot, humid weather.
Wicking: Choose highly absorbent soccer socks that can keep your feet dry throughout the game. Also look for quick-drying materials to prevent sweat from collecting over your skin. If you tend to sweat a lot, choose polyester or spandex socks for maximum wicking.
Padding: Choose soccer socks that are well-padded on the soles to protect your feet from shock or sprains. This is especially important if you play a rough game or in an active position. |
