Same \u003cstrong\u003eGrip:IN\u003c\/strong\u003e silicone arrows on the sole and heel to stop the foot sliding inside the shoe, plus an \u003cstrong\u003eX-Cage\u003c\/strong\u003e band of reinforcing elastic around the ankle joint and light padding across the forefoot. Court shoes are stiff by design; this is the sock that makes them feel less so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is, and what it is not.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a supportive sock, not a brace. The research on ankle bracing — which is good — is about lace-up and semi-rigid braces, and we are not going to borrow those numbers for a knitted band. What this sock does is give you a firmer, more held feel around the ankle and a foot that does not move inside the shoe. Players coming back from a sprain tend to like that feel; so do players who simply prefer a tighter, more locked-in fit. If you need a brace, wear a brace. If you want a grip sock with a bit more hold, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grip:IN silicone arrows on sole and heel | X-Cage ankle support band | Light forefoot cushioning | Breathable stretch knit | 52g | Black colourway | Made by GEARXPro, Milan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis listing is size M, which fits EU 41–46\u003c\/strong\u003e — the only size we have in at the moment.

Ankle sprains are the most common lower-body complaint in padel, and while a sock will not stop one, most people who have had one want more hold, not less.
