Advantages of GRIPFLEX® grip socks:

Increased Pestion

The benefits of wearing Performance Socks / grip socks with Anti-Slip technology (GRIPFLEX® grip soles)
is, among other things, that they can improve your overall performance through increased ball control,
agility and speed .

Imagine if you had a pair of enlarged shoes, grip socks in such a situation would ensure that your foot stays in place even in them.

Improved blood circulation in your feet

Banya GRIPFLEX® Performance Socks help increase your blood circulation by providing extra support and warmth, which can be extremely beneficial on cold winter days:

When you play your sport, your feet should be kept warm, dry and comfortable at all times so that blood circulation increases in your feet to keep them healthy. This again helps with injury prevention, protecting the small muscles, ligaments and tendons in your feet; and most importantly up to your ankle, which is traditionally one of the most injured parts of the body in footballers.

Prevents chafing & blisters

We have yet to meet a player/athlete who hasn't at some point in their playing career got blisters when they got new shoes, usually during the pre-season when the weather is hot, you work hard in the heat and sweat from head to toe and the ground is rock hard.

With our GRIPFLEX® Performance socks, you can reduce blisters and chafing in your training shoes thanks to the rubber grips that reduce friction in the sole and provide a firm grip so that your feet do not slide around in the shoes in both wet and dry conditions.

Sweat absorbent

In addition to keeping your feet warm and padded, grip socks also help to absorb and dry up sweat during physical activity thanks to the material made of breathable soft stretch material that improves air circulation between the sock and the shoe. This helps keep your feet cool and dry even in the summer months.

Increased ventilation

Our socks are specially designed to maintain the temperature of your feet
and help with inflammation and swelling of the feet by keeping them warm, dry and comfortable in cold weather conditions, as well as providing adequate ventilation to avoid excessive sweating. This makes it easier to run around the pitch without feeling discomfort.

Frequently asked questions about Banya GRIPFLEX® Grip Socks:

What are grip socks?

Grip socks are a specially designed sports sock with a rubber grip on the underside of the sole.

These socks can be used for all types of sports and activities that involve acceleration, sudden braking and changes of direction.

The strategically placed anti-slip pads on the bottom of the socks ensure that you have a firm grip on your shoes and don't slide around.

This helps with increased performance as less force is used and also minimizes the risk of blisters and chafing.

When we say Anti-slip, we mean the rubber grip, which is the textured material on the sole of the sock that provides grip and prevents slipping.i

You can describe it as a pattern of rubber-based dots, lines or other shapes that create friction against the floor surface, improving stability and grip during activities such as soccer, pilates, dance or other exercise where secure footing is essential.
