Padel is a sport of short lateral steps and sudden stops, and the bit of movement most players never think about is the millimetre or two between sock and insole. Silicone \u003cstrong\u003eGrip:IN\u003c\/strong\u003e arrows on the sole and heel close that gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we stock it, in one number.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 2022 study in the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Sports Sciences\u003c\/em\u003e measured the static friction between foot and shoe with and without grip socks: \u003cstrong\u003e1.17 against 0.60\u003c\/strong\u003e — roughly double. The same study recorded less foot displacement inside the shoe during changes of direction, with the biggest difference at the sharpest turns, and faster slalom times. That is the whole claim. We are not going to tell you a sock prevents injuries, because nobody has shown that. We will tell you it measurably stops your foot moving inside the shoe, and if you play padel you already know why that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grip:IN silicone arrows on sole and heel | Padel-cut fit, close to the foot | Breathable stretch knit | 46g | White\/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 Other sizes: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soxpro-padel-grip-socks-white-black-s\"\u003eS (EU 35–40)\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soxpro-padel-grip-socks-white-black-l\"\u003eL (EU 47–52)\u003c\/a\u003e are listed separately.
