adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks - Blue

No, these are open-ended sleeves designed to be worn over your preferred base socks (like padded or grip socks) and shinpads.

You should wear any padded or grip socks that provide the cushioning and traction you prefer for your sport.

The supportive and flexible build of the sleeves is designed to hold your shinpads securely in place, preventing them from shifting during dynamic movements on the pitch.

Yes, you can machine wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to air dry them to maintain their fabric integrity and performance.

AEROREADY is adidas' moisture-absorbing technology that wicks sweat away from your skin, helping to keep you cool and dry during physical activity.

Yes, they are made with 96% recycled polyester, contributing to adidas' efforts in sustainability.

While primarily designed for football, they can be used in any sport where shinpad support, moisture-wicking, and maintaining a streamlined leg profile are beneficial.

Ensure your base socks are snug and not excessively thick. Adjust your shinpads to sit comfortably and securely under the sleeve. The 'one size fits most' design typically offers good compression, but if persistent, check if the sleeve's ribbed cuff is positioned correctly below the knee and not over any bulky clothing.

While 'one size fits most' aims for broad compatibility, individual leg sizes vary. For tightness, ensure your base socks are not adding too much bulk. For looseness, verify the sleeve is pulled up fully and smoothly over the shinpad. If discomfort persists, consider if a different sock type or shinpad profile might improve the fit.

Ensure the sleeves are clean and free of fabric softener residue, which can impede moisture-wicking. Wash according to care instructions. Also, consider the intensity of activity and environmental conditions; extremely high sweat rates or humidity might challenge any wicking fabric.
