If you spent some time around a soccer field or even just like to watch games on TV, you may have seen some little black or white dots on the back of some player's ankles. That would be because they are wearing a pair of Trusox, shown in the picture above. The are essentially a no-slip, no-blister sock.
So what they have done is make a premium sock and added small little grip-pads along the bottom and up the back of the heel. They also put these little pads on the inside of the sock. This ensures that your foot will not slip inside the sock and the sock will not slip inside your shoes. The dots that go up further on the ankle do not serve a purpose...I guess they just look cool.
I own two pairs of Trusox and they truly (no pun intended) make a difference. The little grip-pads are almost like a soft towel material that actually get more grip as you sweat. The feeling at first is a little odd against your foot because you can feel them. However, you soon forget about them as soon as you start to play. The pads do not go all the way up to the tip of your toe, so you can still wiggle your toes around with them being stuck down to the shoe. All in all, they do offer more grip and really do feel better in your soccer shoes or cleats than traditional mid-calf socks or soccer socks. Comment below to let me know what you think or if you have any questions about them!
