adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks - White - 5-6

The primary purpose of sleeve socks is to securely hold shin pads in place while allowing players the flexibility to wear their preferred base socks (like grip socks or padded socks) underneath for customized comfort and performance.

This specific model is available in Size 5-6. Refer to adidas's sizing chart for footwear to ensure this size is appropriate for your needs. A proper fit is crucial for performance and comfort.

While you can technically wear them without shin pads, they are designed primarily to hold shin pads securely. Their supportive construction might feel more substantial than regular socks if worn alone, but they can function as a compression sleeve if desired.

AEROREADY is adidas's moisture-wicking technology. It's a fabric designed to absorb sweat from your skin and move it to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Yes, these adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are made in part with recycled polyester, contributing to adidas's efforts to reduce waste and their environmental footprint. They contain 96% recycled polyester and 4% elastane.

Machine wash them cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang them to air dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and moisture-wicking properties.

Ensure you have selected the correct size (Size 5-6 for this model). The ribbed cuffs are designed for a secure fit, so if they feel loose, it might indicate an incorrect size. Make sure your shin pads are properly positioned and not causing excessive bulk that prevents a snug fit.

Verify that the sleeve socks are pulled up completely over the shin pads and that the ribbed cuffs are positioned correctly. Ensure your shin pads are an appropriate size for your legs, as oversized or undersized pads can cause instability even with well-fitting sleeves.

Ensure the sleeves are clean, as dirt or residue can impair the AEROREADY technology. Also, consider the performance of your base socks; for optimal dryness, all layers should contribute to moisture management. Stay hydrated during play.

While designed to be supportive, if the sleeves feel too tight, double-check the size. Also, ensure there are no wrinkles or bunching of the fabric or your base socks underneath. Give the material some time to conform to your leg during initial wears.
