Half Socks (size 6-12)

Why are these half socks becoming the standard for inter-county players?

Half socks have revolutionized GAA footwear by bridging the gap between traditional socks and modern performance needs. These Half Socks offer a specific compression fit that stabilizes the ankle without the bulk of a full knee-high sock. This design allows for greater freedom of movement and cooling, which is why you see so many top inter-county stars adopting them. They provide the professional look of the white ankle band while ensuring your feet remain locked securely in your boots for explosive speed and agility.

What are the best care instructions to maintain the grip and elasticity?

To ensure your half socks retain their tight fit and supportive properties, we recommend machine washing them at a moderate temperature, ideally 30°C or 40°C. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the elastic fibers over time, reducing the sock's ability to stay up. Air drying is preferable to tumble drying to prevent shrinkage. With proper care, the white upper section will stay crisp and the footbed will maintain its cushioning and grip season after season.

How does the sizing work and will they fit my feet securely?

These socks are designed as a versatile 'one size fits most' solution, specifically catering to shoe sizes 6 through 12. The material features high-stretch properties that adapt to the shape of your foot, providing a custom-like feel. The 'tight fit' mentioned is intentional; it prevents the sock from bunching up, which is a common cause of blisters. Whether you are on the lower or higher end of the size spectrum, the ergonomic design ensures consistent pressure and support.

What makes these socks suitable for bulk team orders and heavy use?

Constructed from a premium blend of performance fabrics, these half socks are built to withstand the rigors of the Irish winter and the intensity of summer championships. The reinforced heel and toe areas offer extra protection against wear, while the breathable upper mesh manages moisture. We welcome team and bulk orders, as the durability and universal fit make them an excellent investment for clubs. Contact us directly to outfit your entire panel in professional gear.
