FEATURES THAT TRANSFORM YOUR GAME

  • EXTENDED LENGTH COVERAGE:
    Long socks are for men who demand full-leg support, and they provide graduated compression from the ankle to the upper calf.

  • ANTI-SLIP GRIP ZONES
    Embedded grip zones along the sole create traction between your foot and boot, reducing internal slippage during high-intensity movement. 

  • REINFORCED HEELS & DURABLE STITCHING
    High-wear areas like the heel and toe are reinforced with dense, abrasion-resistant yarns designed to handle repeated stress.

  • BREATHABLE, SWEAT-ABSORBING FABRIC
    Constructed from performance-blend fibres, the fabric actively pulls moisture away from the skin to keep your feet dry, even during extended periods of activity.

What size should I wear? 

Our long football socks come in a range of sizes for adults and juniors. Whether you prefer the over-the-calf fit or extra-long coverage, check our size guide to find your match. 

What does it feel like to wear?

Once you pull these on, you’ll feel the difference instantly. The grip underfoot locks you in, no shifting, no slipping. Your calves stay supported, your feet stay fresh, and the padding helps cushion long landings and sharp cuts.

They're not too tight, not too loose, just right. After a session or two, they mould to your legs, becoming a natural part of your kit. Once the game begins, you won’t notice them. That’s the point.

BE RELENTLESS. BE ORIGINAL. BE UNSTOPPABLE.

These extra-long football socks aren’t just socks. They’re gear for players who know what it takes to win.

FAQ

What are long football socks?

Long football socks are high-rise socks that extend over the calf, often worn with shin guards. They help keep guards in place, provide muscle compression, and take away sweat, all while maintaining a professional look on the pitch. Grip Active long socks are made for elite training and match-day performance.

How to wear long football socks properly?

Slide the socks over your shin guards and pull them up to just below the knee. Make sure there are no folds or bunching to maintain smooth blood circulation. Some players roll the top down slightly for a more secure fit or use sock tape for extra grip.

How do long football socks help during matches?

The compression can improve circulation and reduce fatigue, while the long length keeps the shin pads stable.

Are there any downsides to wearing long football socks?

When poorly made, long socks can overheat your legs or slip during play. That’s why ours are built with ventilated panels, reinforced stretch zones, and stay-up tech.

How do they feel when you wear them?

Supportive, light, and locked in. Grip Active makes you feel protected. Players often say the snug fit boosts confidence, especially during quick movements or tackles.
