Rugby Grip Socks

Under. Put the grip sock on first, then your club sock over the top. Most players cut the foot section off the club sock so the boot only contains the grip sock, and the club sock covers the leg for kit colours.

Kit regulations in rugby govern what is visible on the field, and a grip sock worn under the club sock isn't visible. Players at club and school level wear them routinely. If your competition has specific rules, check with your kit manager, but there is no general rule against a sock under a sock.

Cut across the club sock just above the ankle bone, so the foot section comes away and the leg stays. Pull the grip sock on, then pull the cut club sock up over it. Some players fold the cut edge under for a cleaner line.

In a scrum your heel is driving backwards into the boot and any slide inside the boot is lost drive. Dual Grip™ holds the foot against the boot so the push goes into the ground. It's the difference between a foot that shifts and a foot that stays planted.

The grip is inside the boot, between your foot and the insole, so it doesn't matter what the outside of the boot is standing in. Wet grass, mud, a heavy pitch in February, the sock is doing the same job.

Knee if you cut your club socks and want the grip sock to be the full leg. Calf if you keep your club sock intact and just want grip in the boot. Both have the same Dual Grip™ sole; the difference is how much leg you want covered.

Rinse the worst of it off, then cold wash inside out and air dry. Skip fabric softener, which coats the grip pads. LUX socks are tested to 100+ match washes and covered by a 100-day guarantee, so a season of mud is what they're built for.
