Some of the most serious, thoughtful, and detailed sock analysis that I've seen on TH-cam. Noah obviously knows his socks well, often from repeatedly wearing them when it counts, and washing them. A good-looking guy, who shows his good-looking socked feet, helps make this video the gold standard for how socks should be reviewed.
Thank you mate! I appreciate your words 🔥
agreed, I just wish he reviewed the Tezoro Sports socks too!
Such a great review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! 🔥
Hi there! This was a great review, I loved it 🙌🏼 I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of the brand soxpro, but I’ve seen them supplying some pro teams in Europe and stuff so it’d be nice to see a review of them in the future!
I’ll have to look into them!
Hey Noah! Thank you so much for this video! Really helped out in making the decision to buy some pure grip socks and save up for some falke socks. I was wondering since you’ve been using zephyr socks, how would you rank them in this video? What would you closely compare them too? Thank you for everything you do!
They’re very good mate! Definitely competitive for the best value socks on the market - would recommend them!
Great review dude! I have tried the pure grip socks and trusox gonna have to get some falke and liteguard next. Also do you know of a way to get k leather cleats in California?
Fantastic mate! Both the Falke and Liteguard are insane... I think you'll love them. I'm not sure mate, I don't think so unless you were to order them in from a independent seller from IG or something.
love the vid brother also wanted to know the best way to wash them just got the pure grip pros and i really wanna know so i don’t mess them up or anything
Thanks mate! I'd wash them in cold water inside-out and air dry! 🤝
Thanks for the Video! I have tried out trusox as my First pair of grip socks, but after 2 Times wearing, they already got a hole and i retoured them. Definetly will try Falke (which is a german brand) cause they are only like 25 euros in sale here in germany. Guess will try a pair of pure socks, too.
Great to hear! 🤝
Fantastic video Noah! How do you wash your Pure Grip Pro socks? I just got some and am wondering this because they have lasted so well for you so far!
I usually just like to wash them in tap temperature water and hang dry! Often any excessive heat applied to the grip elements can really screw up the socks 🤝
Perfect, now I know, thanks! :)
Happy to help!
Thanks fir this, Noah! What would you say the thinnest pair of socks are?
The thinnest ones are probably the LiteGuard, but keep in mind that thinner socks means less durability - so you'll go through them much faster than a thicker one.
Bro thanks for the detailed video! One question - which socks is thinner in your opinion? Falke or Liteguard? Thanks!!!
Liteguard for sure!
truSox I have to say is the best grip socks, since the grip material is flocking grip and IN//EX tech™ is more effective, or normally girp socks used pvc only for outside, we are the sport socks factory, so we know the defferent they are
Thank you for your comment mate! I’m glad you found the best grip socks for you! And your knowledge about the grip sock market is very valuable, I appreciate that!
Great video Noah
For me, the SR4U ones are ok but the lack of grip inside the sock is a problem for me. With the shipping given that I live in the UK it costs the same for the Falke ones.
Also, storelli used to make incredible grip socks which were as good as anything and could be worn over other socks but for some reason they’ve stopped producing them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate! I bet that would be super interesting feedback for SR4U! I never managed to get my hands on a pair of Storelli, but I heard similar thoughts - very positive and good quality.
Shipping costs more than the socks unfortunately, a problem Pure has not fixed. There is no way one pair of socks should cost 20 dollars to ship, anywhere. Truly unfortunate
@@vrfootball280 International shipping is not cheap, so it's not really something Pure have any control over. Potentially the only way to do it is have an agent in the UK who they ship in bulk to, and then they get distributed locally, but then you'd incur customs costs
@@Fizzoidthey could fix it and its now been fixed thankfully 🙏
@@vrfootball280if you're still after a pair its been fixed regards p&p costs👍
Awesome stuff bro. I like a cushioned sock. I typically use Nike elite basketball socks and am trying to find a grip sock that feels as cushioned as those Nike elite. Any recommendations?
Right on mate! You probably won't find anything THAT thick in the football world because often thinner socks are better at the high level so your feet are closer to the ball. That being said, I'd recommend Pure Grip Socks or the Cushioned version of Trusox for a more cushioned feel.
@@NoahCavanaugh makes sense bro! My hoofs love the cushion! Will look into the grip socks as they’re under 20$. Thanks once again!!
hi thanks for the vid! are the falke socks you have the stabilising version which cost a bit more or the normal version? Is there really any difference between the two if you have both?
I believe they are! The stabilizing version has a different compression pattern than the other version, creating a really nice fit on feet. I love the falke socks and would definitely wear them more often if they were readily available! 🔥
I'm going with my second pair of the compression Falke 4Grip. The first pair held up for 3 seasons. Here in Germany you will get them below 30 bucks.
Amazing video, would you recommend Trusox 3.0 or still the Falke 4? Reply would be very appreciated, thank you!
Both are great mate! I'm currently wearing Zyphr and I love those.. 🔥
Hi Noah, I took your advice again and bought the Falke grip socks. The Falke are amazing and fit me perfect with my boots (Furon v7). I also like the Nike grip socks which are very comfortable, but the Falke have much better grip and are also very comfortable. Cheers!
Fantastic to hear mate! 🔥
@@NoahCavanaugh Thank you for your help! I should add the Nike grip give a little more room at the toe box area and the Falke give a little more room around the middle of the foot.
@@mennymarangoudakis5826 👍🏼 Fantastic!
Could u say where u bought ur pair from cz when I look at the photos for example on Falke website there are less grip elements and they are further apart
@@danpalamarciuc9168 I bought Falke on the Unisport website a long time ago
I had the exact same thing happen to my Liiteguard socks. A swipe with a cleat to the ankle and a giant hole opened up. Unfortunately I only got 5-10 wears out of them before it happened. They’re probably no t the right socks for someone on a limited budget since contact seems to tear them pretty easily. I liked them more than my Trusox while I had them.
For sure mate! It's a bummer they're not as durable for how expensive they are... I suppose you pay for premium quality but like anything, stuff can break/rip at any point. Have you considered trying any other pairs since those broke?
@@NoahCavanaugh I have pairs of the Trusox 2.0 and 3.0 that are pretty good. The 2.0s started to feel a bit crusty after a handful of washes but the 3.0s have held up better. The inside grips give me heel blister issues with my Morelia DNAs but work great with my Mercurials.
I also have some Pure grip socks and cheap Trusox knockoffs I got on Amazon. They're fine. Better than Trusox with my DNAs since I don't get heel blisters with them.
@@adamproschek That's good to hear! If you're ever in the market for some new ones that are quality and inexpensive, I use Zyphr every day and they're really good 🤝
I’m fortunate enough to have a pair of Trusox, Tapedesgin, puregrip along with stepzz and I can say that I had the best experience with the Trusox
That's fantastic mate! I'm glad you like the trusox!
My team train 5 times a week and im worried they Will break when being washed cause thats what i heard about trusox
@@TH-camr-dq9wm washing is totally fine mate! Just air dry them 👍🏼👍🏼
@@NoahCavanaugh im probably gonna have to buy some cheaper ones as i cant afford like 3 pairs it Will be like 140
@@TH-camr-dq9wm grab cheaper ones for training and save the trusox for game days bro 😎
I have the TokyoFootball socks and they are soooo thick due to the inner grip elements. I only use them on really worn leather boots. Otherwise, it's just too tight for newer and/or synthetic boots. But overall for SGD 14, it's pretty good quality for an amateur player
Totally agreed! I think they're made for the amateur player who wants to get a bit more grip!
@@NoahCavanaugh TokyoFootball now offers an improved/premium version called the TF sock AIR. It is slightly more expensive at SGD $16.90 but these are way thinner, lighter and performs wonderfully.
@@d3smond That's great to know! I really enjoy my zyphr socks for now, but I'm considering others as we move into the new year! 🔥
Trusox are the best I have ever tried, since my feet sweat like mad the grip for me is just incredible, need to try the Falke, Tabio and Liteguard though, but those elements do not work better when in contact with sweat.
Liteguard has silicone from what you described, so they do not slide down on you. Sounds like good quality, although I want to try the Falke more (much more renowned brand)
Good stuff mate thank you for sharing! Falke are amazing socks and I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone!
@@NoahCavanaugh i have been trying to get a pair, but just so pricey from overseas, always sold out in the americas 😕
Hey Noah, I use Vapors as my main boots. Do you think I’m good fit wise regardless of the thickness of the grip socks I get? Could the grip socks cause the boots to fit too tight maybe especially with the thicker socks. Would like to hear from your experience.
Yes, definitely should be good mate!
oh wow the ctr360s... my first ever pair of boots.
Right on! 🔥
Great video! But how come the Stepzz socks weren't in the video?
I found them to be not as good as the other socks with rubberized grip elements. They also fell apart really quickly when I wore them regularly! Definitely would be down to try them again, but I had most of these pairs WHILE wearing Stepzz as well, and the steps were destroyed well before the review was worth making! 🧐
Sox pro is amazing also.
I'll have to check them out!
I got both the 2.0 thin and the cushion and both teared really fast up front at the biggest tough
For sure mate! I don’t find them to be very durable, especially for the $45-50 price point
@@NoahCavanaugh although they really feel good during a game! Unfortunately they’re not that durable as you said. Therefore I might actully go and give the flake grip socks a try. Thanks for the eye opener video mate🙌🏼
@@FahadRadi8 No worries brother 🤝
Hey Noah, just from the top of your heart what would you say are your top 5 grip socks currently?
WeFoot, Trusox, Falke, LiteGuard, NikeGrip
Trusox as always. Just tried Falke again today in a game, my feet slipped and Falke socks twisted inside the boots. Trusox is much better with the grip.
I don’t own any grip socks and I’m considering buying the pure pro grip socks but do I just buy 1 or 2 pairs and just reuse them over and over again ? Or how many times do I wash them ? After every wear or ? Would love some help.
GREAT question mate, and I'll have to mention this in the next video I do about grip socks. Pure grip socks aren't as expensive, so if you were going to buy one pair of the expensive ones, I'd just spend that amount on as many pairs of Pure socks as I could. Then rotate every session etc. For washing: wash in a normal cycle with whatever other clothes you have, usually medium or cold water is fine. AIR DRY ONLY! That will make your socks last so much longer, especially if you wear them a lot.
can you please try floky socks and sox pro they are made from italy i would be curious to know what you think
I’ll do my best!
Any thoughts about VYPR5 Super Grip lite or different from anything on the market - Teqnigrip, which has grip material woven into socks ? Thanks
I haven't tried them mate!
I don't like liteguard ones at all, I don't feel them being grippy at all and my feet slide around the boot. I really enjoy falke ones and when I got used to them, can't imagine playing with something else. Will try pures this year tho.
Nice mate! 🔥
Would u recommend the new or the old Falke Grip socks cz it looks like they new ones have a different grip design compared to the old ones
Great question mate, I haven't tried the new ones! I'll have to give them a go 👍🏼
Are u gonna make a video about them any time soon?
@@danpalamarciuc9168 Maybe mate! We'll see what I can find and what I have time for
Hey Noah, I am going to get a pair of pure grip socks since the sizing only goes (7-9.5US) and (10-13US) I'm from europe and my size is perfectly in between (bigger than 9.5 smaller than 10) I kind of don't know what to do any tip?
I'd go for the smaller ones - worst case scenario is you have to get another pair in the bigger size!
if i were to get the pure grip socks pro should i get the smallest size (3-6.5) so they’re snug or get the medium size (7-9.5), i’m a size 8
Go with your size! Sizing charts are meant to be on point 🤝
I know this vid came 10 months ago but please reply. I see that u are recomending zyphr socks now are they the best now in your opinion
They're the ones I use at the moment, yeah! 😎 You can get 10% off through this link: www.zyphr.com/discount/BEAWESOME
where do you buy the Liiteguard socks in the U.S. ? I can't find any in the states.
I used to buy them from Unisport! Otherwise Amazon sometimes carries them, or the liteguard website and just get them shipped to the US
Great comparison, Im gonna buy falke socks mainly thanks to this video, thanks a lot. Are there any problems with sizing due to the fact that they are compression socks? I wear 43 EU mercurials and falke have size 42-43. Should I stay with their sizing or go one size up? Thank you
Love it!
Not at all mate 🤝
Would you still recommend the falke even though the new model hasn’t got the same grip design? I searched on their website and the falke 4 grip has a different grip system on the heel and sole than the pair in the video
I haven't tried the new ones mate! I don't know if I can answer that for you 🤝
No problem mate, last question: I found a pair like your ones but i wear a 45 and the only pair available is 46-48, do you think it makes a difference and I should just go for the liiteguard o stay with the falke but one size bigger
@@josephvalera6820 that’s up to you mate! I don’t think you’d have any issues with going a size up if you wanted, you might just have a little extra room to pull the socks higher if you wanted 🤝
Are the tape design socks goos if i can get them for 25 euro and they sell at my local store compared to the others that i can only order with +10 shipping
They're decent!
The Holy Grail!
🔥
Does pure grip socks, falke, and tape design have grip on the inside too?
Falke does!
I've noticed how there are no bits of rubber crumb stuck to the socks, with most sports socks (not grip socks) I've worn the rubber crumb gets stuck in the thread and doesnt come out. I'm assuming these have been worn on ag?
These have all been worn on AG, yes! I am very particular about that though, and if I find any rubber bits on them after training, I always remove everything before washing them! Often people don't do that and when they go through the dryer, the rubber partially melts onto the sock 🤙🏼
@@NoahCavanaugh So with these socks in the video did no rubber crumb stick to them or did you just remove it? Removing the crumbs damages the socks in my experience.
@@twenty2143 As I said mate, I remove the rubber before they go in the laundry, so no damage! 👍🏼
What is the best option if your on a budget?
Zyphr or Pure!
what about knee highs what do you recommend?
Knee high grip socks? I don't actually know of any that exist!
Are there grips in the inside of the pure grip socks?
No
Hey Noah, I wore the trusox 3 times and lots of the pads have come off or started to peel, I’m washing them as specified on the packaging but I have the old version could that be the problem?
Not at all mate - I just don't think they're suited to be washed a bunch in general. There are other grip socks on the market that are far better and longer lasting in my opinion! 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh do u think the falke are the best option or are there some better ones?
@@rayanabdo136 Falke are really good for sure! I love my Zyphr socks and I wear those for games and team training 🙏🏼
@@NoahCavanaugh alright thanks so much
@@NoahCavanaugh I forgot to ask, how often should I wash the falke and how is the durability on them from your experience?
What size pure grip socks do you buy?
I wear a 42 2/3 boot (9US) so whichever ones that size falls into 🤝
What do you think about the storelli speedgrip socks?
I've never tried them mate 🧐
Do you know them?
@@tschaestu I do! They’re very hard to find though last time I checked
where did you get the liiteguard grip socks because I can't find any that ships to the US with no expensive shipping
It's always gonna be expensive shipping mate, no way around that one unfortunately... 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh oh ok. what grip sock do you reccomend now or is it still the falke's 4?
@@throc5398 those are good! Trusox 3.0 or Pure Grip socks for me
@@NoahCavanaugh Yeah I was leaning towards Trusox but I heard the durability isn't that good. Is this true?
@@throc5398 If you are careful with washing them but ONLY hang drying them, they should be just fine for a while mate!
Have you tried the Nike grip socks?
Yes! Had a pair several years ago that I wore through. They're very comfortable and light but I truly don't think they deserve the name "grip" sock. More of a regular sock that has a bit of sticky material on the bottom. 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh Ok thanks👍
Which TruSox do you think are better?
Cushion or Thin?
🤔
Personal preference mate! Get whichever suits you best!
What size pure grip socks did you get?
If you scroll down on their website it shows you a chart for sizing. Under the product description
@@oscarinho1276 yep, I’m size 9.5/10 so trying to decide between medium or large
I think I went for the medium ones and they were great!
I have trusox and the original pure grip socks. Pure grip socks are too grumpy for me, and I like trusox but they don’t have left and right specific socks and they are SO expensive now. I like wearing Nike American football socks for my boots.
That's great feedback mate thank you! The new Pure Grip Socks are really good in my opinion.
are wefoot socks good?
Yes, VERY good
You should checkout lux grip socks if u have a chance
I'll have to check them out mate!
the only thing I hate about grip socks is having them on and trying to get your foot into your boots without having them bunch up
It's an everyday struggle! 😂
Hello, I am searching thick socks, thick as possible. It doesn’t have to be grip socks, crew socks are fine, most important is that it is al THICK as possible. Thanks in advance!
I’d definitely recommend the Pure Grip Socks! They’re pretty thick and do a great job with the grip
@@NoahCavanaugh thanks mate!
@@NoahCavanaugh I read in your comments here that Nike elite basketbal socks are thick, thicker than pure grip socks? Do you know that? I am from the Netherlands so pure grip socks are expensive for me. Thanks in advance!
@@puckvanvoorden3509 Ah yeah if you get the Nike Elite socks that are meant for basketball, those are much thicker than most football socks! They’d work just fine if you wanted the thickest possible 👍🏼
@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks man!
Best thin grip socks ?
Easily available? Zyphr probably. Falke are thin too but they're way more expensive and harder to find
@@NoahCavanaughyeah easily available would be better. will look into the zyphr ones any other recommendations? Thanks btw man !
@@bryan71100 TruSox are great as well but they're stupid expensive
I don’t find those Falke socks anymore
Me neither! I haven't seen them in a long time 🤔
Do these actually work if there is no grip inside the sock?
Be more specific! Are you asking if any grip socks work if there's ONLY grip on the outside?
@@NoahCavanaugh Yes, the grip might stop your sock sliding in the boot but if the sock now doesn't move and there isn't any grip on the inside whats to stop your foot slipping in the sock?
@@optimusd3854 I haven't had that experience at all mate - in fact there are some grip socks WITH grip on the inside where it gets worse as the session goes on. As my foot sweats, the inside grips actually become more slippery and I end up with blisters/hot spots along the bottom of my feet 😰
I need to buy grip socks and would like to know which ones you would recommend for me as the best one. I don't really care about the price. Just tell me your top 3 bro
No worries mate! I'm actually about to sign with a company who do an amazing grip sock - go to www.zyphr.com/en-us/products/zyphr-tech-grip-socks and use CODE: beawesome for 10% off! I've been wearing their socks for almost 3 weeks now for my pro team and they're really good... 🔥
What about from this vudeo?
@@kasperbrogaard5392 all my top picks are in the video mate! 🔥
You're able to get a fake tape design socks in Malaysia for 1$ and the quality and design is pretty much the exact same as the real ones. Won't be suprised if the fakes came from the same factory
Damn! That's awesome mate! Wouldn't surprise me either, I imagine it's not very expensive to make given their quality
Tried them both, and they are not the same! De 35€ ones are much better.
Today I used my trusox for the first time and the grips already started to fall pff
Try Zyphr mate!
UPSL is pro player now? 🤣
LOL
2024 update???
Hopefully soon!
Trusox is the best for performance
Pure Grip Socks pro aren’t good man- the quality of material is not up to par with others in your video
I appreciate your opinion mate, thank you for sharing! 🤝
bro 30 minutes for socks?? can someone summarize this for me?
An in depth review can be very helpful mate! Especially if you're curious about how specific socks fit and feel. Hope you found it valuable!

2) Liteguard and TruSocks
