Hockey socks men
Hockey socks for men from Brabo and Reece keep your shinguards in place and prevent chafing while playing hockey. They're made from a synthetic fabric that wicks away sweat well, keeping your legs dry.
Different types of socks
During a hockey match, wearing shinguards is mandatory. Many hockey players find wearing them uncomfortable and irritating. Wearing the right socks keeps the shinguards in place and prevents chafing. There are also socks fitted at the bottom with a strap that runs under the foot, specially designed to prevent skin irritation.
Breathable material
Good socks carry away perspiration so your legs stay dry. Socks made from 100% cotton aren't suited for this: they absorb sweat but don't release it, making them feel wet and uncomfortable. A sock made from a synthetic fabric, possibly combined with cotton, is well suited for wicking away sweat. An elastic fabric such as elastane is also important, so the sock fits easily over the shinguards.
Extra protection
Well-fitting socks also protect the feet against blisters. Do you suffer from this a lot? Then choose socks with extra padding and protective pads at the heel and toes.
