• What socks should you wear in hockey skates?

  What socks should you wear in hockey skates?

  In hockey skates, you should wear thin, moisture-wicking performance socks made from synthetic materials or a wool blend. Thick everyday cotton socks absorb moisture and take up unnecessary space inside the skate, which can lead to chafing and reduced feel. Models with integrated cut protection also feature a cut-resistant layer around the calf and Achilles tendon.

• What does cut protection mean on hockey socks?

  What does cut protection mean on hockey socks?

  Cut-resistant hockey socks contain cut-resistant fibres that make the material more difficult to cut through if it comes into contact with sharp skate blades. The construction covers the most exposed areas of the lower leg and Achilles tendon.

• How do you choose the right size hockey socks?

  How do you choose the right size hockey socks?

  Start with your regular shoe size and follow the size chart for the specific model. The sock should fit snugly around the foot and arch without bunching up in the toe box. With the correct size, the heel section stays positioned over the heel instead of sliding underneath the foot.

• Should you choose knee-high or low hockey socks?

  Should you choose knee-high or low hockey socks?

  Knee-high models cover the lower leg and protect the skin from friction caused by shin guard straps. Low socks end just above the top of the skate for players who prefer as little fabric as possible around the calf. Choose the model based on how your shin guards fit and what feels most comfortable during play.
