Product Information
Full details
The Arena Pool Grip Socks are essential for adult recreational swimmers who participate in water aerobics, aquajogging, or general pool activities and need extra stability on slippery surfaces. These socks provide a critical safety benefit by preventing slips while shielding the feet from pool bacteria, fungus, and chafing, though they are primarily designed for aquatic environments and may wear down quickly if worn extensively on abrasive pool decks or concrete walkways.

FAQs
Are these socks machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash in fresh, cold water to preserve the integrity of the grip technology.
Can I wear these for swimming laps?
While you can wear them while swimming, they are designed primarily for aerobics and stability exercises in the water.
Do these socks contain latex or PVC?
These socks are PVC-free and made from durable polyester.
Will they protect me from athlete's foot?
Yes, they provide a protective barrier between your skin and the pool environment to help guard against bacteria and fungus.
Can I wear them on dry land?
They are designed for aquatic use; wearing them on dry, rough surfaces will cause the grip material to wear out prematurely.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slippery inside the water
Ensure the socks are correctly sized and snug; loose fabric can create a gap between the foot and the sock.
Grip is wearing off
Check if the socks are being worn on dry, abrasive surfaces like pool decks. Limit use to the pool interior to preserve the traction material.
Fabric irritation
Rinse the socks thoroughly after every use to ensure residual chlorine or salt is not trapped in the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Arena Pool Grip Socks remain effective, follow these usage and care guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the sock is pulled snugly over the heel and arch to allow the grip technology to lay flat against the skin and the floor.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the socks thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove pool chemicals and chlorine.
- Drying: Air dry the socks in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the grip material.
- Storage: Lay them flat or fold them lightly in your swim bag once completely dry to maintain their shape.
