What are the benefits of grip socks?

Anti-SlipTechTM: All our grip socks come with our anti-slip technology which counteracts friction in the shoes.

Prevents chafing: The reduced friction prevents chafing and blue nails as the foot sits firmly in the shoe instead of sliding around.

The comfort
: Grip socks offer a tighter and thinner fit than traditional socks and both breathe better and dry faster, which makes them more comfortable to use.

What are the differences between Grip Socks and Grip Socks?

Dear child, there are many names, Gripsocks, Skillsocks, Slipsocks or Grip Socks - it's the same technology just different names.

What is meant by Anti-Slip?

When we say Anti-slip, we mean the rubber grip, which is the textured material on the sole of the sock that provides grip and prevents slipping.i

You can describe it as a pattern of rubber-based dots, lines or other shapes that create friction against the floor surface, improving stability and grip during activities such as soccer, pilates, dance or other exercise where secure footing is essential. These grips are usually strategically placed on the sole to support the foot's important pressure points.

The benefits of wearing Performance Socks with Anti-SlipTech™ rubber grip
is, among other things, that they can improve your overall performance through increased ball control, agility and speed. Imagine that you would have a pair of enlarged shoes, grip socks in such a situation would ensure that your foot stays in place even in them.

Our socks are specially designed to maintain the temperature of your feet
and help with inflammation and swelling in the feet by keeping them warm, dry and comfortable in cold weather conditions, as well as providing adequate ventilation to avoid excessive sweating. This makes it easier to run around the field without feeling discomfort.

Improved blood circulation in your feet

When you play your sport, your feet should be kept warm, dry and comfortable at all times so that blood circulation increases in your feet to keep them healthy. This again helps with injury prevention, protecting the small muscles, ligaments and tendons in your feet; and most importantly up to your ankle, which is traditionally one of the most injured parts of the body in footballers.

Banya Anti-SlipTech Performance Socks help increase your blood circulation by providing extra support and warmth, which can be extremely beneficial on cold winter days.

Reduced chafing and blisters
We have yet to meet a player who hasn't at some point in their playing career got blisters when they got new boots, usually in the pre-season when the weather is hot, you work hard in the heat and sweat from head to toe and the ground is rock hard. With our Anti-SlipTech™ Performance socks, you can reduce blisters and chafing in your training shoes thanks to the rubber grips that reduce friction in the sole and provide a firm grip so your feet don't slide around in the shoes in both wet and dry conditions.

In addition to keeping your feet warm and padded, grip socks also help to absorb and dry up sweat during physical activity thanks to the material, which is made of breathable soft stretchy material that improves air circulation between the sock and the shoe. This helps keep your feet cool and dry even during the summer months.
