Wear your socks like a pro: Four ways to wear your football socks

Football socks are an important part of a player’s kit. Without socks, your kit isn’t complete and according to the laws of the game, you need socks to play. There are multiple ways to wear your football socks. Let us look at four ways to wear your socks to look like a pro.

Socks and sleeves

Socks and sleeves are growing more and more popular every season. Kit manufacturers are now making sleeves for players to wear rather than cutting off the feet of their football socks. Why do players wear socks and sleeves nowadays? Most match socks are often slippery causing players to lose stability in their football boots. Wearing crew grip socks with sleeves on over them is now fashionable and gives players the chance to get the traction they need.
