Grip socks are a great way to ensure that your feet are steady and have a grip in your soccer cleats to prevent sliding, and provide that extra support and reduce foot movement within the shoe.

Wearing normal socks while playing soccer can be challenging, as sweat tends to make the socks slippery in your boot and this can impact your performance.

Grip football socks provide a solution to this problem, and have quickly become a staple in the locker room of many professional soccer players. The question is, my grips socks are white and only go just above my ankle, and my team had red or green socks.

If you are part of a team that has specific colors, which carry through to the sock design, then you may need to cut your team socks to wear them together with the soccer grip socks. 

Time to Cut Your Team Socks

If your team has socks in a specific color as part of their uniform, you will need to do a bit of modification to wear them with soccer grip socks. 

Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut the foot section off of your team socks. This will be done along the ankle line so that everything above that remains. This will create a sleeve that will go over the top part of your grips socks.
