Foot to sock
Inside grip helps cut down the sliding and bunching that can lead to rubbing.
Your sock can grip the cleat while your foot still slides inside it. Eighty Labs Dual Grip grips both sides to help hold your foot, sock and cleat together.
Low-profile grip inside and out, with cushioned construction and no bulky pads underfoot.
Try them in your cleats. Worn pairs are included in the guarantee.
Standard grip socks address the outside of the sock. Dual Grip adds low-profile grip inside, so the system works across the whole foot-sock-cleat setup.
Inside grip helps cut down the sliding and bunching that can lead to rubbing.
Outside grip helps the sock stay more secure against the insole.
Flocking sits flatter than bulky raised pads, with cushioning built around it.
The point is not to keep reminding you that you bought performance socks. It is to remove one more distraction once play starts.
Cushioned construction gives players who prefer it a softer, more filled-in feel.
Grip on both sides helps reduce the movement that turns into rubbing over time.
Low-profile flocking is designed to sit flatter underfoot than chunky grip pads.
A more secure setup means less attention spent thinking about your feet.
A sock can not grip a surface it never touches. We do not need a made-up traction percentage to explain the difference.
80% cotton, 10% polyester, 10% spandex. Hand or machine wash below 30°C, inside out. Do not tumble dry, bleach or use fabric softener.
Your soccer schedule does not stop for laundry. Choose how many pairs you want ready, then cancel, skip or change before the next delivery.
Start with clean, dry feet and put them on directly against your skin so the inside grip can sit flat. Smooth out the heel, toe and sole so there's no bunching inside your cleats. Then give them a full practice session before game day so you know exactly how the fit and grip feel.
No. An extra layer gets between your foot and the inside grip and can make your cleats feel tighter. If you need a team colour on the shin, wear a cut-off team sock as a sleeve over the top instead.
No. Dual grip can help cut down unwanted movement, but it can't correct cleats that are the wrong size or shape. Your cleats should feel snug, not cramped.
Our size range is US 6–10, EU 38–43 and JP 23–27. The stretch knit and arch band help provide a secure fit within this range.
