adidas Team Sleeve 23 - White - 7-8

The open-ended design means these are leg sleeves that do not cover your foot. This allows you to wear any preferred performance, grip, or padded socks underneath, offering versatility and personalized comfort without compromising uniform appearance or shinpad security.

These sleeves feature a supportive and flexible build designed to compress around your shinpads, holding them securely against your shin. The ribbed cuffs further aid in preventing slippage, ensuring your shinpads stay put during dynamic movements.

AEROREADY is adidas's moisture-absorbing technology. It works by drawing sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can quickly evaporate. This helps keep you cool, dry, and comfortable, enhancing your performance on the pitch.

Yes, these adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are made in part with recycled materials. They consist of 96% recycled polyester, reflecting a commitment to reducing plastic waste and supporting sustainable practices.

While primarily designed for football to secure shinpads and manage sweat, their supportive and moisture-wicking properties could be beneficial for other sports where leg compression or sweat management is desired. However, their shinpad retention feature is most relevant to football.

This specific product is designated as 'Size 7-8,' which typically refers to kids' UK shoe sizing. For optimal fit, it's recommended to consult adidas's official sizing chart if you are unsure or need to find another size.

Ensure you have selected the correct size; these are size 7-8 (kids' UK shoe size). Pull the sleeves up firmly over your shinpads and ensure the ribbed cuffs are snug against your leg. If they still slide, your shinpads might be too small or too large for optimal retention by the sleeve.

While designed to be supportive, they should not be uncomfortably tight. Check your leg measurements against standard sizing. The material is 4% elastane, offering flexibility, but if discomfort persists, you may need a different size. Ensure no bunched fabric from your base socks is causing pressure points.

Ensure the sleeves are clean, as residue from fabric softeners or dirt can sometimes hinder moisture-wicking properties. Wash according to general sportswear care guidelines (cold wash, no fabric softener). Make sure the sleeve is directly against your skin/shinpad for optimal sweat absorption from the surface.

Confirm your shinpad is correctly positioned within the sleeve and not too small or large for the sleeve's supportive capacity. The sleeve's main function is to hold the shinpad; if it's still moving, try adjusting the shinpad's position or ensuring the sleeve is pulled up completely and smoothly over the shinpad.
