What's your
sport?
Pick your sport to see exactly how Vice grip socks and insoles work for the way you move.
Football is ninety minutes of sprints, cuts and hard planting in studded boots on grass. Inside the boot the foot slides on every change of direction — costing you the first yard and inviting blisters. Grip socks lock the foot to the boot so every cut, sprint and strike transfers cleanly into the pitch.
- Locks the foot in the boot on cuts
- Sharper first yard and change of direction
- Less slip, fewer blisters over 90 minutes
Rugby is repeated collisions, scrums and sprints — enormous force through the feet as you drive, step and change direction at pace. In-shoe slip in the contact or the step bleeds power and footing. Grip socks anchor the foot so your fend, sidestep and drive off the mark stay planted.
- Grip through the drive and the scrum
- Locked foot on the sidestep
- Footing held through contact and sprint
Pickleball lives on the split-step and explosive lateral push-off inside a tight court. Every time you stop, your foot slides inside the shoe — bleeding power and raising blisters. VICE grip socks anchor the foot to the shoe so every kitchen-line reset and cross-court sprint transfers cleanly into the floor.
- Locks the foot on lateral push-off
- Reduces in-shoe slip and blistering
- Sharper, more repeatable split-step
Cricket asks the foot to do everything — the bowler's front-foot brake absorbs several times body weight, the batter turns and sprints between wickets on worn footwear. Grip socks keep the foot planted through the delivery stride and locked through the turn, so nothing is lost to slip inside the shoe.
- Stability through the bowling stride
- Grip for quick singles and sharp turns
- The most trusted VICE product on the professional circuit
Basketball is stop-start at maximum intensity — crossovers, jump stops, landings, repeat. If your foot slips inside the shoe you lose the first step and the clean landing. Grip socks lock the foot so your cut is as sharp as your intent; insoles add energy return for repeat jumps.
- Grip for crossovers and jump stops
- Cushioned, stable landings
- A faster, more reliable first step
The footwork rule makes the plant-and-pivot non-negotiable, and every landing loads one foot hard. Any slide inside the shoe risks the pivot and the ankle. Grip socks lock the landing foot while compression zones support the fast changes of direction netball demands.
- Stable plant and pivot
- Support and control on landing
- Confident, repeatable direction change
Tennis is wide sprints, hard stops and recovery steps on repeat. On a stretched wide ball the foot slides inside the shoe, wasting the push-off you need to recover. Grip socks keep the foot connected to the shoe so you load and drive off cleanly on every change of direction.
- Slide-free footing on wide balls
- Cleaner push-off and recovery
- Control from baseline to net
Hyrox punishes the feet — kilometre runs stacked between sleds, burpees and carries, all under deep fatigue. As form fades, in-shoe slip and hot spots creep in. Grip socks hold the foot through the runs and sled work; insoles give energy back when your legs have none left.
- Grip through runs and sled push / pull
- Fewer hot spots and blisters under fatigue
- Energy return late in the race
Squash is the most explosive lunge-and-recover game on a court — deep drives to the front wall and an instant push back to the T. Slip on the lunge costs reach and control. Grip socks anchor the foot so the lunge is as long and as stable as you can drive it.
- Stable, committed deep lunges
- Fast recovery back to the T
- Grip through sharp direction change
Badminton footwork is a relentless chain of lunges, jumps and split-steps in a small area at extreme speed. Any slip on the lunge or landing steals control of the shot. Grip socks keep the foot locked so every split-step and net lunge finishes exactly where you aimed it.
- Locked foot on the net lunge
- Sharper, faster split-step
- Control through jumps and landings
Field hockey is played low, with quick lateral shuffles and hard direction changes on turf. In that loaded, bent-knee position, in-shoe slip drains the power you're trying to put into the ground. Grip socks keep the foot planted through the drag-flick base and the sprint away.
- Stability in the low playing position
- Grip for quick lateral shuffles
- Power through hard direction change
If your game is stop-start and cut-and-sprint — accelerate, plant, change direction, repeat — Vice is built for it. The moment your foot slips inside the shoe you lose power, control and skin. Grip socks and insoles keep the foot locked to the shoe so every movement transfers cleanly into the ground, whatever you play.
- Built for any stop-start, cut-and-sprint sport
- Locks the foot to eliminate in-shoe slip
- Grip socks and insoles engineered for control
Why it
works.
Most grip socks are marketing. Ours start with biomechanics.
Silicone grip panels printed in a gradient pattern — denser at heel and forefoot, lighter at midfoot. More traction where you push, flex where you need it.
Graduated compression at the arch reduces fatigue over long sessions. The foot stays supported without restricting natural movement.
Breathable knit construction manages heat and moisture. Stays close to the foot without bunching inside the shoe.
High-wear areas at the heel and big toe are reinforced to outlast standard performance socks. Durability that pros actually notice.
