- Time to get back onto the grip socks. I am going to rank and review every single pair of grip socks that I own, liteguard, pure grip, trusox, falke, tapedesign and more! Which are the best grip socks? Which grip sock brand should you go out and buy?
We have 5 ranking categories, where do the pure grip socks line up, where are the liteguard, are any so bad that they go into the bottom category? This might be another controversial one, people tend to be very attached to their grip sock brands and might not like where I have put their own personal favourite grip socks, are the falke high enough? OR too high? What are the best grip socks for football?

Think of this as a mini review for every pair of socks I own and a comparison all at the same time. Tapedesign socks, reviewed! Unisport socks, reviewed! Liteguard socks, reviewed! Pure Grip socks, reviewed! You get the idea.

I want to buy the Tabio Grip Socks getting them is tough 😂😂
@@malcolmphillips9010 tabio website in the UK stocks them now.
@@BootWizard Do you have a link. I live at Canada lol so yeah i see EBay sells them but expensive
@@BootWizard i also have another question Wich one is better Tabio or Falke sock. I play high level soccer so I need to know
There goes your opportunity to collab with unisport 😂. At least you’re honest tho and that’s what matters.
Hahaha, I'm hoping they will forgive me over one pair of grip socks. And you're right I have to be honest.
@@BootWizard keeping it real. its what we like 👍
been waiting for this one james! great review. picked up a ton of helpful new info. keep up the good work
Always happy to help.
Excellent video! Really haven't seen too many videos about so many grip socks all at once. Hooray! I'm so happy you love the Tabio socks. It's all I ever use!
I think if I wasn't reviewing socks and I had readily available access to them the tabio might become my go to.
@@BootWizard Hooray! Also, sad times because I know these feels. You find something you like and then, nope, you gotta review something else!
haha, I did not expect you to mention Tabio, which I knew about, because I am Japanese, though living in the US. It's like Mizuno cleats being much better than anything else in terms of their quality and craftsmanship going into the product.
Haha, advantages of having some friends all around the world.
@Julian Clark which ones?
Been waiting for this !
Hope you enjoyed it
I thought about having socks with separated toes the other day, just like the Tabios. Never thought that such a product actually existed for playing football, but it's really cool to know about now!
They're awesome socks. If you can get your hands on a pair I highly reccommend them
Great comparison video. Thanks
Great video! The Storelli speed grip are underrated in my opinion.
I had these and after training 3 times per week in them, they start to almost tear and become very uncomfortable
Hey James which ones are the thinnest on the actual foot? I have a pair of the knock off trusox but they're just too thick so I never wear them for football. Would like to try one of these in your review, but need the thinnest! Thanks!
Great information, enjoyable content it's a really good video
Glad you enjoyed it.
In terms of sheer performance absolutely nothing beats the Trusox 3.0 cushion, but in terms of only comfort, I find the Adidas Alphaskin socks as the most comfortable, right slightly above the nikegrip socks (just thicker, they have more cushioning). Also I respectfully disagree with your opinion of the unisport sock, however they are very thin, and only fit well if you get the size down (then like tapedesign, they fit very perfectly, no compression, but 0 extra space). I definitely want to try Tabio though!!!
Honestly I hate those unisport socks, I'd rather wear plastic bags, I just think the fit is poor and the materials are bad. Although we of course all have different opinions. The Adidas alphaskin are a comfortable sock I totally agree there, I just find their grip capability pretty lacking.
Do the alphaskin socks have good grip? I’m looking at a pair of them but I’m not sure on how grippy they will be.
do you guys feel a difference between the falke grip4 socks "stabilizing" versus the cheaper non-stabilizing version??
Great video as always.I have been trying to get my hand on Medium Storelli’s for about 4 months but can’t find stock no where not even on their own site.
Yeah they went on sale and then kind of disappeared. Have you checked pro direct?
@@BootWizard yeah mate I tried Pro Direct but they only have small or large in stock and I’m a uk 7.5 so need the medium.Just bought a pair of Falke ones though as they seem to be a favourite of many.
@@Kris-jm7tx Falke are better than the Storelli's for me, but the storelli is cheaper for sure. I have the medium as well. Hopefully you can pick them up soon.
Yeah I have heard that’s the case.Thanks for the advice mate.
interesting top choices. i love the storelli until it becomes crusty. Will be trying the Tabio after your heavy recommendation!
If you can get them, strongly recommend
Honesty is key. Good review, good vid
Thank you, much appreciated
Hey mate. Just come across your video. Verve Gripsocks would be a fantastic one to review. Luke Shaw wears them and some championship footballers also
I'll check them out
My personal favorites are the falke, tape design, and trusox. I rotate these 3 brands when I play
Which do u think is best and why?
@@VitoCorlito preformance wise, Falke is the best, but they are very expensive and hard to get. Tape design is good but they also don’t last as long and are also very expensive. The tape design are the best all rounder for me because they are the Cheapest, but also last long, and give very good performance.
Falke absolutely do it for me, love them.
@@BootWizard they are great I absolutely love them if you can afford them
@@asherrosen4705 totally agree
Trusox and Soxpro are my favorites because of the cotton footbed. Of the 2, I prefer Soxpro. Most other socks with polyester footbed just make my feet sweat too much.
I'll check them out for sure.
Tape design is great all around but in a hot country its not very absorbant when sweat a lot
I actually like the pure grip socks but they are also the only grip socks I’ve used so I don’t have anything to compare to but I can say I’d rather wear them over regular socks
how long do they last
That's fair enough I'd say. Definitely give some others a go though
I've not found the durability to be great
Newcomer to grip socks, one simple question, Liiteguard or Tabio, I've found them at practically the same price so I really can't make my mind up 😅. I will buy soley on your recommendation 😁
Personal preference is the lifeguard but do bare in mind they're fairly thin
@@BootWizard sweet. Thank you. I have a sock boot so I think the thin sock might actually be better. I'm going to give these a go 👍
Hello, nice video man! But I still have a question. What sock would you advice for a little loose boot? Greetings from Portugal! Thanks!
Just go for anything that has as much grip as possible if that's the issue. If you have the money maybe the Falke or the TruSox if not most of the stuff in the cheesy tier will do the job for rubber elements on the base.
@@BootWizard Thank so much, have a nice day!
You should try and rank the soxpro and vyper socks. There are quite a few pros thst wear both of them.
I've heard good things about the vyper they are next on my list to get
I was about to say Soxpro. I prefer them over Trusox and Nike Grip.
What do you think of using Thorlo socks for football? I have using them and I absolutely love it.
I've not personally ever used them for football but I can't see it being a problem if you want to use them.
Hey James, would u reckon that having the Nike Elite boots, which apparently synergises well with the NikeGrip Socks, would be a justifiable reason enough to at least try out a pair? A bit of context here, i have 2 pairs of Nike Elite boots Hypervenom 3 and Phantom Venom, but i usually use Currex insoles for them. But if the NikeGrip works well with their Elite models, then i might very well dust off the Elite stock insoles and pair them with the NikeGrip socks
I honestly don't think the difference would be big enough to justify moving away from an insole that you prefer. If it's 50/50 sure use the Nike insoles. But if the currex insoles are working for you I'd say that's more important than the grip socks and grip insoles.
There is Tabio USA now so I guess you can pick up the socks in the states too!🤩
Yeah you can get them in Europe now too, it's a touch easier than before.
Great video! I loved the names of the tiers😂😂 what do you think is the best value for money grip sock (that you can buy outside of Japan)?😂
I'm working on some other reviews of some socks right now that might be best value for money. At the moment it is Nike Grip on sale, they go on sale quite frequently and you can pick them up at $10-$20 and that's usually what I would do to save cash.
Glad you enjoyed the video and my ridiculous category names 😂😂
@@BootWizard awesome! Thank you so much!
@@BootWizard hi can you recommend me a place to buy the nikegrip socks, I cannot find them anywhere in stock 😭
@@BootWizard are they called Nike squad socks?
I bought Gain the edge, my toe went through them after like 4 games. half my nail is missing, so it's not like it was my nail cutting through the sock.
Were they good?
Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
The only difference to premium vs the more generic socks, seems to be materials and aesthetics?
I use Lux v1 (prefer over v2)... and they are fantastic. I can't see how paying 2-4 times more would provide any different conclusion to what a non slip sock is basically designed for?
I feel like there's not a huge difference between low and mid range but the top end socks really do stand out.
When worn on ag do rubber crump pellets tend to stick to any of these? I've noticed some pairs of sports socks they get caught in and others they don't.
I find I generally get the rubber crumb stuck on most socks
In your opinion, what's the best thick and cushioned sock you've tried. My new boots are a bit too big for one sock but doubling up is too tight.
The Lux grip socks are pretty thick, they do have internal and external grips so you would need to be okay with that but they're a thicker sock
@@BootWizard Thanks for the answer James. I've got an alternate question then for you: what's the best thinnest socks you've tried? I've sprained ankles so many times over the decades my ankle ligaments are like spaghetti so need to wear reasonably chunky ankle supports. So if I'm thinking about wearing 1 pair, then supports and second pair over the top, what would you suggest? cheers
@@wickedpig liteguard without question is my favourite thinner sock.
Do you think you could review the Vypr5 socks? Or comment to say if you have heard and know if they’re to a good standard at the least mate?
You might find a picture of Man City’s Ederson wearing them in training
Already got a pair! If you check out my video on being a pro for a day with soccer supplement you'll see me testing them.
Short version is they're good and a review is coming soon.
@@BootWizard nice one pal! 😄
Hello boot wizard love your videos man, love the reviews, my feet are incredibly wide, like it’s annoying how wide they are, I tried on the puma future z and the predator freak.1, they both feel very good and hug my wife foot perfectly, idk which to choose tho, they both fit amazing now I’m just left with a basic one or the other choice hahah, can you make the decision for me all powerful boot wizard? hahah love the vids 🤙✌️
They're quite different boots it really depends what you're looking for. Basically just decide if you want the demon skin or not. That should make your decision for you.
@@BootWizard I’ll go for the predators thanks man keep the vids coming, love from Australia 🙏 :)
Where do u find the Nike grip sock, I can’t find it anywhere
Honestly direct from Nike is the best bet Buy Nike Grip & Crew Socks here - tidd.ly/3uVD6h7
Cant find the Nike grip anymore. I had one pair and beat the grap out of them, had 2 holes on 2 big toes. Any suggestion where i can find one?
unfortunately they are very hard to find, regular sport stores (JD Sports in the UK) seem to be the most likely place to find an odd pair.
Have you heard of/ever tried 'Gain The Edge' grip socks?
Keep your eyes on the channel, review coming soon.
@@BootWizard 🙏🏽
This is just random but what is better phantom gt pro or gt elite or Puma Future 6.1 or Nike mercurial pro or Puma ultra 2.1? Lot of options lol.
They are all very different boots with a lot to consider, really depends what you're looking for
I dont line the falke socks at all, bc if i play in them and my feet start sweeting, than im slipping alot in my boots, that why i dont wear them anymore
That's fair enough, not all socks are for everyone.
Are Nike Vapor (American football) crew socks the same as Nike Grip socks? They no longer sell Nike Grip socks at US retailers. It appears they are discontinued here.
The crew socks aren't usually the same as the grip, I'm unsure exactly which ones you are looking at but honestly you'll be able to tell from the price, around $10 that's the standard crew, around $30 will be the grip socks.
It's not that the grip socks are discontinued it's just that they're sold out, they sell out fairly quickly and when Nike have a new style or pack to launch they will restock. That's normally how it goes.
Can you review addidas socks because there isn't alot of reviews on them and they look good?
I'll add them to the tier list next time I make one, I've already tried them out.
What is the best grip sock to get on a budget, and are maestro grip socks any good?
Maestro review coming
What about the adidas alphaskin traxion socks? I’ve been looking at a pair but I’m skeptical on how grippy they really are.
I'm not a fan. Too slippy
Which is thinner? Falke or Liteguard?
the liteguard just
any chance of getting order of preference for the socks in your top two tiers? i can't decide which ones to try first so your order of preference would be helpful (including the new ones you've done since this video too!) :)
+1
Literally follow the order from left to right. So top row far left is my favourite then move to the right and so on.
@@BootWizard on this video you said the Liiteguards were your overall fave’s. but then on the tier list the tabio’s are first? i looked at your latest video on grip socks and the Liiteguards had swapped positions with number 3 (falke) so all a little confusing what the actual order of preference is!
as the list on this video doesn’t include the new ones you did after this vid and due to differing positions, is there any chance of getting a written out current order of preference for the top tier?
@@kommym there will be a new video coming with the new socks on it.
For the order here the reason the tabio is at the top is because it's a better value proposition, I personally prefer the lifeguard but the tabio as a package is going to be a better sock for most people.
So the list here is my reccomendation from top to bottom rather than my personal preference, that's probably the best way to put it.
@@BootWizard thanks for the clarification and in depth video! so just to be sure (as in your latest video Liiteguard has switched positions with Falke) - you're absolute overall favourite of them all on performance is the Liiteguard? would love to get your personal preference order of performance if possible for the top tier, want to try them all out but in the order of your preference :)
As always you dominate 🎉. And I love you for it.
TF grip socks ends up being a foot fetish sock yes??
The OG tf socks are foot spa and the air foot fetish.
I haven't got the updated 2024 version yet though.
I recently got the liite guard socks and my only problem with them is how tight they feel. Are they meant to feel that tight? I don’t really have that big of feet, although I have the biggest size, the sizes aren’t really that big either. But yeah, my main question is do they stay tight or with they feel more comfortable as I wear them in games/practices.
They're compression socks so they're going to be tighter than a regular sock, they will of course stretch more as you wear them but they will always be fairly tight.
Is the Falke 4 grip sock a durable and solid sock?
Great sock
my man we must do business and bring all this soccer staff to south africa
unfortunately I'm not a store, just a reviewer.
i cannot believe i just ordered tape design socks, oh my dayss...
Hopefully you liked them
Hi! Im late in this but i try anyways; My problem is that the grip socks i get is thicker than the normal soccer socks, what is the thinnest grip sock I can get?
Adidas Alphaskins
They're not that thin but good socks all around
The liteguard probably but they're quite pricey.
What's the thickest, best sock you know.? I have feet that need the most padding all over if possible
Try the VSN grip socks or the LUX V1
Brilliant video lol,, nike grip socks for me, always pick them up in a sale, keep up the good work
As always thank you, and thanks for checking out the channel.
Me watching this and just thinking that the grip socks I wear his free and you have fun with them besides soccer cuz I use the sky zone socks for there trampolines
Haha, trampoline grip socks with some multi purpose use.
There's a new 2024 version of this list!
Part 1 - th-cam.com/video/GtIhWr7xXXI/w-d-xo.html
Do they not sell Nike grip socks anymore ? I can’t find them anymore?!!
They do sell them but they're hard to find and sell out quickly
Are the Nike Vapor Crew any good?
They're basically the same as the Nike Crew I mentioned at the start. Most of the points are the same.
Any opinion on Adidas Alpha Traxion socks?
Really comfortable socks, fit is good, grip is poor.
@@BootWizard i will try the Falke
Where do you find the Nike grip socks?
The Nike website is usually where I get them they sell out quickly thought
Do on thermal gloves for training
Honestly I don't think there will be much to report but I might take a look..
@@BootWizard there are a pair of Adidas Gloves I've been looking for, not that I will get them for me, here in Portugal is never that cold.
Nonetheless, I've been looking for a pair that looks like they have certain spots in the palm of the hand like the sponges on animal paws.
Nike has some good ones too
Which are the thickest decent ones there mate?
have a look at the lux grip socks for a thicker sock.
Nike grip socks are where it’s at🔥
Lovely little numbers, love a nike grip
Adidas ACE 17.1 or Adidas Predator Freak.3 Low Laces?
Ace 17.1
Have you ever tried the SoxPro socks?
I haven't actually, but they are on my list to review
@@BootWizard hope to see your reviews on pdx Perfect And SoxPro…
keep going man, Great Channel!✌️
Pure Grip socks for me ☝️
Glad you found something you like
I'm surprised you didn't put out the pure grip sock "pro" socks that are just $16 U.S dollars compared to the regular $14 U.S dollars.
I made this video before the pure grip pro was released, they weren't available.
Where do you rank stepzz grip socks?
They'd probably be cheesy.
What is the name of the Nike socks in the Foot Fetish Category
Just Nike Grip Strike
Did all the "Foot Fetish" socks have grips both on the outside and inside
Only the tru socks have that, they have a patent on that technology. There are a couple of smaller companies that do it as well, but I am fairly confident they are infringing on copyright.
Dude i cannot find these nike grip socks anywhere, i can find the nike vapor football ones but i dont think its the grip sock
Only place I can ever really find them is Nike direct, but they do sell out quickly.
@@BootWizard I don’t think they even sell them in the US
@@CKnorr_COYS They do for sure as I have friends that use them, If you're in the US keep your eyes out in places like Marshalls they have them quite frequently for great prices.
@@BootWizard okay thanks, it’s definitely tough though I’ve been checking literally every site, even eBay is a reach
@@CKnorr_COYS they aren't that easy to get hold of I agree, when Nike drop a new design they are usually the easiest to find, but then you have to be lucky and know when that is.
Do these actually work if there is no grip inside the sock?
Yeah for sure. The main thing is if they grip to the boot
I just want to know if any of these socks prevent blbisters
I think everyone is different. Foot shape and the type of boots too probably come into it. What I can say, is there is no foot slippage at all based on the rubber being on both sides (from my experience). I use Lux with Nike Premier 3 and they're a great combo. Especially the first version.
@@Harry-jz1dn thanks kbro
To prevent entirely is very hard and will depend on you. But just make sure you get a pair that fit well
I looked up Japanese foot fetish socks on google and saw the WRONG websites 😶 helpfull video though, appreciate it💯
error, huge error!!!! I'm sorry for your eyes.
Damn that’s crazy mannnn
Me? The socks? The people? The amount of cheese people put on toast?
What’s are the Nike grip socks called?
Usually grip strike or grip vapor strike
Nike ones I can’t find anywhere except eBay in Canada!
Nike ones are so hard to find at the moment
@@BootWizard are they discontinued?
@@Dark_Gingi they changed the socks twice from the version in this video and then since I definitely have a feeling they may have been discontinued. I don't know for sure though.
@@BootWizard ok thank you for the help.
You should review LUX Sports grip socks
I'll have a look into them
I have had couple pairs of Nike Grip socks and I don't think that they provide enough grip. The comfort and fit is great but not that grippy at all
Interesting I've always found the grip on them to be enough, it's not as obvious as some of the rubber gripped socks but still does enough and the comfort and fit are so good that they are well worth it.
@@BootWizard Yeah that was just my personal opinion but the material is one of the best if not the best. I haven’t tried all grip socks but I think TruSox and Tape Design has given the best grip and what I’m looking for when using grip socks is that grippy feeling. In addition Tape Design durability was terrible..
@@jimihackspik2855 yeah that's what it's all about, finding what works for you. If you want something that's more grippy then for sure the Nike Grip might not do the job.
I haven't worn my tapedesign enough to comment on durability because I don't really like them. But I have quite small feet so one size fits all is a bit of a nightmare for me.
@@BootWizard anyway just wanted to say that I appreciate your content. Not many makes as unique videos as you. Stay consistent and keep up the same way👊🏻
@@jimihackspik2855 glad you're enjoying them man, thanks for watching and for getting involved, love to hear different people's points of view
Bro you forget the best ones, the “Pdx perfect”
This is just for all the socks I have, I don't own the pdx perfect so I couldn't include them 👍
@@BootWizard Didn't mean to critizice, Great video, Just wanted to recommend them cause I use them and they're great
@@carminem5277 absolutely, didn't take it that way 👍.if I can get them in I'll review them
@@BootWizard great quality, 100% made in italy, 23 euros.
Have you tried the new edition of the "Pure" grip socks?
@@carminem5277 got a pair of the new pure on the way. Once they arrive I'll review them
Try the brand Maestro
Got some, they'll be in the updated tier ranking video that's coming
Stance socks
What falkes are those
Falke 4
I was about to pick up some pure grips socks but after watching you I think I’m just gonna stick with Nike crews
I have a full review of the pure grip on the channel as well if you want to see my full thoughts on them
Pure grip socks are a solid pair of grip socks
I have been searching for 9 months the nike grips and i can't even find them (Chile)
They are very hard to find
i could never find the nike grip socks where do you buy them from? im from the u.s
I get them from Nike direct usually on their site however if you're near a Marshall's or a Burlington they usually have them in super cheap.
What do you think about the lux sports grip socks?
I haven't tried them to be honest
@@BootWizard I was waiting for this video to drop to get me some and they dropped right after they arrived today
Hope you're enjoying them
What about TractionSocks ?
Haven't tried them
I havent watched the vid yet, but Falke>
Falke are amazing
Damn Uni Sport
Yup
Liteguard
Love them
This video was great, thank you. I will give you my Falke fetish story in return. I returned from laundry one day, my flatmate and I talked as I hang some clothes. After a couple of minutes I exclaim 'oh no, I've forgotten 100€ worth of socks!'. I returned 2 minutes later carrying 5 pairs of socks. He expressed that I have I problem, but the problem is his; he believes tennis socks is a fine sensation.
5 pairs of Falke for €100 I'd call that a bargain 😂😂. I agree he is just not getting the full experience of quality socks!
Hope you're doing well my friend .
@@BootWizard yeah, made up some numbers for good story telling.. I usually spent between 18 and 24 Euros a pair.. But I assume the hiking socks are cheaper than the grip socks.
Quite well thank you, and the same to you.
You cant buy the nike grip socks in america for everyone looking
You actually can, marshalls is a good place to look, the nike website are frequently sold out or don't stock them though.
This guy is amazing he just needs to make more professional videos maybe edit them or have multiple takes.
where is adidas alphaskin ?
They'll be in the next sock ranking video
That is cause falke have inside grip
they do have internal grip, sometimes I don't like that though.
activital are the best
I'll try them
you know they're a grip sock nerd when they know tabio without even living in Japan lol
i like you bro
Thanks
Dude if you haven t test LAST ULTRA LIGHT SOXPRO YOU you haven t test anything . They got an award from Germany PLUSX AWARD for the innovation of the invisible inner grip and ecology materials .
They're on the list to review, I'm very aware of Sox Pro and what they offer.
