How to Choose Field Hockey Socks

Field hockey socks have one job most sports socks don't: they must stretch over your shin guards right up to the knee, because most leagues require guards to be fully covered. When choosing:

  1. Length and stretch. Over-the-calf socks with plenty of stretch fit over hard-shell shin guards without cutting off circulation.
  2. Cushioned foot. A padded footbed reduces blisters in turf shoes.
  3. Moisture-wicking fabric. Polyester and nylon blends dry faster than cotton.
  4. Team colour. Match your school or club colour. Many socks come in multi-packs.
  5. Add sleeves or liners. A thin shin guard sleeve holds the guard in place, and a liner reduces rubbing.
