These are my go to grip socks! I’ve been wearing this brand for over a year now and have done play test reviews on them and they never get old. I never play a match without them. I actually love the grips on the inside. They don’t bother me personally. Great review and video!
Yeah they work for some people and not for others, personally it's enough for them not to be my sock of choice, but I see the appeal and the price point is pretty fantatsic.
Great review!! Been waiting for this for a long time, found these a few years ago and they’ve changed their material since then and stood on their lifetime guarantee 3 years later! By best advice if you have the same issue for anyone, touch of Talc Powder in the sock helps take that moisture out and feel a hell of a lot better especially during those summer months! Definitely best value by a mile!
I'm really enjoying this channel. As a fellow TH-camr I enjoy the face that you have a simple approach like myself, nice and honest opinions and being as informative as possible.
Hopefully this will help you decide between Lux v1 and V2... Both great. So I was using V2 exclusively for a couple months. Bought V1 to try... snd I admit, I find V1 the better sock. V1 is softer and thicker as discussed, but best of all, the rubber layout feels less prickly on V1 and less aggressive feeling than that of V2. I had to take my boots off and realign the base of the V2 several times for comfort and positioning on the forefoot. V1 just slips on and is fine first time. I should add, V1 builds up more heat in the foot and I could feel sweat build up pretty early. Once you're playing tho, it's not an issue Both are great tho and do what they're meant to. V2 feels the more premium material tho and does look more aesthetically pleasing if that's important to you... It MAY also last longer, tho I'm guessing at this point. My recommendation... V1 for the win.
The internal grip on the lux socks gave me awful blister on bottom of my foot, when it got hot later in the game, don’t even get blisters there with normal socks, got a pair of gain the edge to try, hopefully no internal grip will be better for my feet
I have multiple pairs of the Lux socks and honestly they’re really good for their price. Only down fall, for some odd reason after many hand washes it loses it’s grip from the inside. If your feet get sweaty, then the sock won’t be too grippy in the internal.
I hand wash them in lukewarm water. I machine washed lux V2 and the rubber felt softer after and there was an tiny bit of shrinkage on the bottom. Still worked tho... Repeated machine washing I think MIGHT wear them out quicker.
Great review bro love the review i gave a question could you review proskary thier one of the Best and most used grip socks in Poland but they dont have many video reviews i have them and i think they are great ive had 3 pairs in 7 months because they are so great and they are very cheap
my problem was that the gel in the inside starts to feel slippery when your feet starts to sweat and i don't like it so i change to tru sox and its good cause when your feet starts to sweat it gets really grippy but lux socks are very good as well it just feels a bit slippery in the inside when u start to sweat 🤷♂️
depends what you're looking for, they're both very good, the thicker more padded sock is the lux, the pure is a little more streamlined. Both good options.
Need that anatomical shape! Also not a fan of one size fits all... price is good. Warmer socks are a nightmare here though. Hahah. Also appreciate the shout out! Definitely don't like overly grippy socks and they look too grippy on the inside!
The inside is overkill for me for sure. And the anatomical shape and one size fits all are an issue with almost every sock at this price point which is a shame. There's a lot of good here but not enough to make me go with them on match day.
@@BootWizard Love the reviews. I got a question was thinking about getting my boy a pair of Falke grip socks for his birthday and can’t find size large. Where is the best place to buy them? I live in the states.
@@shawndepto783 honestly they're not that easy to find. I got mine from unisport but that's not ideal for the states. Amazon or direct from Falke might be your best bets.
alot of reviews say the Lux run small. Im a US mens size 12 slightly wide foot as well. would the lux even fit me ? They seem to be one size fits all only . Also i bought Pure sleeves and theyre cut off circulation tight on me and im a tall skinny dude with muscular but not massive calves. anyone else have that issue with those ?
Had 6 pairs of Grip socks and the front foot has had holes in after one game in 3 pairs. Good lifetime warranty as they are exchanged but still not good that they only last one game 😕
I’m really between the Falke and liiteguard socks due to my regular socks giving me blisters all the time. Which do you think have the best overall fit that may prevent blisters? Thanks !
Both unbelievable socks to be honest, 2 of the best on the market, my personal favourite is the liteguard but the falke will do an excellent job, they're hard to separate
I agree they should decrease the amount thickness of the grip I notice it way too much and I have tried truesox. They have a good amount of grip maybe they need a bit more grip but they are more comfortable. The thickness of the lux grip socks and how hard it is to put on and they can also improve the sizing and if nit pick the material could be more premium
I agree with most of your points, honestly I don't think there Is anything wrong with how premium the material is at all, but they could make some tweaks elsewhere.
James, mate you scored a banger on this video. Absolutely agree with you on everything you said. Spuriously I would have said it live as well. I got those last year as a compare to Fox brand off Amazon ( just like Ali with no grip inside) know with that said they are soft still. Grips still on , shrinks to form on foot. And my one complaint.... short on neck of sock 😞. Great job 👏 and hope things in Ireland are good.. great summer of football to watch so far. Cheers and love chatting with you. 👍 to the cat 😁⚽️
I do hate a short neck on the sock, I always feel like they can come up a bit longer on most socks. Enjoying the football so far, hope you're having a good one
I'm not taking any digs at Josh. Just because you know his channel it doesn't mean his product is immune from criticism. If you check out my review of his pure grip socks pro you'll see that I gave them an excellent review. Said they were really good. It's a review, it has comparisons to other products good and bad.
You appear to have missed the point that most socks of this particular style only climb into the top 3 categories as they don't have the technology or quality to go above that it's not just one issue I don't like. They are good socks within the range of this particular style of socks which are usually within the lower categories.

Whoever pitched the marketing, distribution and pricing of Lux's, was smart.
Good to have you back.
Yeah they did a great job there!
I thought I was crazy I was thinking the same way and I am definitely going to but the other ones thank you so much!

Bought the Lux socks a few days ago, so I am super exited to try them out!
Hope you enjoy them
They are rubbish
@@faizmiah2363 nah. They are pretty good
@@aron6260 do you remember where you bought them from?
@@alexclarke6436 bought them from the lux website. Pretty cheap shipping too

Can you wash lux grip socks in the washer or do you have to hand wash them?

@@Harry-jz1dn Thanks so much. I’ve tried washing them both ways since I got them and yea they have wore out more when in the washing machine.
you can, I've not had issues but keep them on a cool wash.
Great review bro love the review i gave a question could you review proskary thier one of the Best and most used grip socks in Poland but they dont have many video reviews i have them and i think they are great ive had 3 pairs in 7 months because they are so great and they are very cheap
I can certainly have a look.

I agree with you with this one. Only issue I have with them also.
Would you choose these over the Pure Grip Socks Pro?
Personally I prefer the pure grip pro, but when you consider shipping cost as well these are well worth looking into
Would you recommend the Lux grip socks or the Pure grip socks pro?
Exactly my question too
depends what you're looking for, they're both very good, the thicker more padded sock is the lux, the pure is a little more streamlined. Both good options.
How do they size? Should I get try to size?
Do these prevent blisters on the toes? I seem to get a lot of blisters when I just wear the club socks
Need that anatomical shape! Also not a fan of one size fits all... price is good. Warmer socks are a nightmare here though. Hahah.
Also appreciate the shout out! Definitely don't like overly grippy socks and they look too grippy on the inside!

@@BootWizard That's what it seemed like. I wouldn't trust them for a match. Maybe for training...
@@derbyyank13 I think that's probably a very good shout. A training sock if you have them but there are other options out there for games.
@@BootWizard Absolutely
How should you wash the Lux Sports v1 grip socks to keep durability?
Carefully with low temperatures. Inside out wouldn't hurt but obviously there's internal grips to worry about.
Yay! (I got the pure pro grip socks cuz Amazon ran out of both of these) so thanks cuz they will prob be my next pair
Hope you enjoy them
Great!! Can u tell me which one u would prefer once u try out both pairs of socks?
@@eugenejohnson2900 sure, personally I like everything about the pros except that after a few washes the material goes hard
@@dariomario2603 when you wash them deffo use a slower wash imo if they ruining sock
@@alexyoung9775 I agree. They get very stiff and like hard
What foot size would you think is to small?
My son has been wearing them for about a year and he loves them.
Yeah some people absolutely love these and I get why
@@BootWizard Love the reviews. I got a question was thinking about getting my boy a pair of Falke grip socks for his birthday and can’t find size large. Where is the best place to buy them? I live in the states.
@@shawndepto783 honestly they're not that easy to find. I got mine from unisport but that's not ideal for the states. Amazon or direct from Falke might be your best bets.
@@BootWizard Thanks for the reply. My only worries are if I get him a pair he’ll like them so much he’ll only want to wear them and they’re $$$
@@shawndepto783 hahaha too true they are pricey
alot of reviews say the Lux run small. Im a US mens size 12 slightly wide foot as well. would the lux even fit me ? They seem to be one size fits all only .

Blistering is a big problem when I use my Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 Elite for an extended amount of time per wear would these socks help the blistering?
Depends on how the blistering is occuring
Was shopping for a new pair of trusox and couldn't bring myself to pay the insane price
Yeah trusox are pretty pricey
The inside grips poke into me in the arch which is uncomfortable running back and forth
Depends on your foot type with internal grips like these ones.
@@BootWizard Are you going to do an updated top grip sock video for 2024?
@@user-wj9bz8xi9u 100% it's on the way

Both unbelievable socks to be honest, 2 of the best on the market, my personal favourite is the liteguard but the falke will do an excellent job, they're hard to separate
Hey James, what would you say is the most similar grip sock to the seemingly permanent sold out Nike ones?
Maybe check out something like a VYPR5
The only issue with these are is the internal grips when it's hot because the friction build up is so noticeable
I agree they are not at their best when it gets hotter
@@BootWizard good thing I'm English and sun doesn't exist so other then that they were worth the money
Can you just wash grip socks normally?
These are my favorite grip socks. They are very comfortable for me and they work they well for me
That's ideal. As long as they work for you.
How long did it take to ship
About a week

@@BootWizard watching the Tour De France as well. Crazy stage one already. . Ireland has a few good riders .
Does the lux grip socks come in the mailbox or do you have to pick it up?
Mine came in the mailbox
@@BootWizard thanks 🙏🏾
Do you still get the lifetime guarantee if you’ve ordered them from Amazon?
I believe so
I'm a mens size 12 UK and these are just sooo tight! Really difficult to get on and off.
One size almost fits all it seems!!
How come my trusox take so long to come. How long did it take you? They are terrible at communicating.
I didn't buy my trusox direct from the company I bought mine from Lovell soccer. So no issues.
Do you wash them after every use or should I use them a couple of times, so they don’t get destroyed very quick?
Great review again James
Thanks!! I just bought these 👍👍
Hope you enjoy them
The new Barca shirt looks better on you than any of the players and Nike models 😂
Hahaha honestly I really like it on, it was clearly designed for guys with beards 😂😂
Lux socks look criminally similar but I get what you mean
Totally see what you mean as well.

Im famous now
Hahaha I'm not sure about that
Has one issue down to personal preference, wants to put them in the second lowest tier 😂
