Grip Socks - Sky Blue Ankle

Fit
Anatomical left/right design for foot-specific compression and support. Mid-arch tension band to eliminate in-sock foot slip. 3D knit structure to reduce dead space around toes, heel, and instep.

Grip
Silicone polymer traction nodes—strategically placed at high-pressure contact points—lock foot to insole for optimal energy transfer. Zero-slip interior architecture maintains sock-to-foot position under torque.

Fabric
Dual-layer construction:

• Sweat-wicking micro-nylon for maximum moisture evacuation and zero blister zones.
• High-friction performance poly-blend engineered for stability inside all modern cleats, boots, and trainers.
  

Compression Zones
Graduated compression (15–20 mmHg) targets arch, midfoot, and Achilles. Enhances blood flow, proprioception, and recovery. Reinforced cuff prevents sagging without digging.

Seam
Flatlock toe closure. Zero-friction finish to reduce hot spots and irritation in lateral movement.

Cushioning
Targeted underfoot padding—mapped by pressure plate testing—for impact absorption without bulk. Optimized for ground feel and push-off power.

Height
Crew cut. Designed to interface with shin guards and high-collar footwear. Reinforced to prevent roll-down.

Durability
Over 50 lab-tested wash cycles without grip degradation. Abrasion-resistant heel and toe yarns. Anti-pill and anti-shrink treatment applied post-knit.

Athletes Who Demand More From Every Step

VICE Grip Socks are built for competitors who train, play, and recover like every detail matters. If you're serious about traction, foot stability, and injury prevention—this sock belongs in your kit.

Recommended For:

Field & Court Sports

• Football / Rugby / AFL
• Basketball / Netball / Handball / Hockey
  

Lateral cuts, explosive changes of direction, and stop-start sprinting generate massive foot torque. VICE Grip Socks minimize in-shoe slip to keep your base stable and reactive. Reduced internal movement = fewer blisters, cleaner pivots, and better ground contact.

Track & Conditioning

• Sprinting / Agility Drills / Plymetrics / Gym
  

Engineered for foot-to-shoe lock during max-effort acceleration and impact. Recommended for speed training, power blocks, and explosive lifts where energy transfer starts from the ground up.

Small-Sided & Indoor Sports

• Futsal / Tennis / Pickleball / Court Fitness
  

High-friction grip and anatomical fit reduce micro-shifts in tight spaces. Helps maintain balance and drive without sacrificing foot speed or fluidity.

Combat & Functional Fitness

• MMA / Crossfit / Wrestling / HIIT
  

Ideal for sports where sweat, torque, and high reps destroy regular socks. VICE Grip Socks offer breathable control and injury resistance under compound loads and unstable terrain.

Endurance & Adventure

• Trail Running / Obstacle Racing / Climbing / Hiking
  

Moisture-wicking base layer, low-blister seams, and locked-in arch support make these a go-to for long-haul foot reliability. No bunching. No breakdowns.

Why They’re Recommended:

• Improves traction and foot-to-shoe connection.
• Reduces internal slip and energy loss.
• Enhances movement precision and injury prevention.
• Built to handle sweat, force, and fatigue over time.
  

To Maintain Performance, Treat Like Gear. Not Just Laundry.

VICE Grip Socks are engineered for elite function—care for them like you would your boots or your kit bag. Proper maintenance preserves grip integrity, compression zones, and fabric structure.

Washing:

• Machine wash cold (≤30°C)
• Wash inside out to protect grip zones.
• Use mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach, softeners or harsh chemicals as they break down fibers and adhesives.
  
  

Drying:

• Air dry only
  
• Do not tumble dry (excess heat degrades grip and elasticity)
  
• Keep out of direct sun when drying to prevent material fatigue
  
  

Storage:

• Store flat or lightly rolled, do not stretch.
  

Pro Tip:
Rotate multiple pairs during your training week to extend lifespan and maintain optimal grip. Socks are a performance tool—rest, rotate, repeat.

Engineered to Perform Solo. Built to Dominate in System.

VICE Grip Socks are the foundation—but they’re just one piece of the total performance equation. When paired with other products in the VICE range, their impact compounds. This is performance stacking: every element reinforcing the next.

VICE Grip Socks + Tactile Insoles

For Athletes Who Prioritize Feel, Feedback, and Injury-Resilient Agility

Enhanced Performance:

• Maxamized ground feel and proprioceptive feedback.
  
• Locked-in stability for sharper cuts and reactive movement.
  
• Reduced in-shoe slip = fewer blisters and hotspot injuries.
  
• Minimizes micro-instability that leads to ankle rolls and overuse strain.
  
  

Why It Works:
Tactile insoles are designed for sensory control—but without grip anchoring, foot movement disrupts signal accuracy and control under fatigue. VICE Grip Socks eliminate lateral slide, helping the foot maintain consistent contact during quick changes of direction. This improves foot mapping, agility, and long-term joint stability—critical for preventing rolled ankles, arch strain, and tendon overuse.

Recommended For: Midfielders, tennis players, futsal athletes, and movement-heavy trainers operating in high-frequency motion environments.

VICE Grip Socks + Vistral Insoles

For Athletes Who Chase Power, Speed, and Injury-Resistant Explosiveness

Enhanced Performance:

• Improved energy return from carbon plate mechanics.
• Grip-locked forefoot for cleaner propulsion and sprint takeoff.
• Stabilizes foot under vertical and horizontal load.
• Reduces risk of plantar fasciitis, turf toe and metatarsal overload.
  
  

Why It Works:
Vistral insoles are rigid and powerful—but they don’t tolerate foot slop. VICE Grip Socks secure the foot’s position under max force, ensuring consistent loading patterns and proper biomechanical alignment. This preserves force integrity, prevents unwanted movement, and protects the plantar chain from high-load breakdown—particularly important for sprinters, wingers, and power athletes.

Recommended For: Speed-focused players, weightlifters, and explosive athletes needing both performance gain and injury mitigation under stress.
