Grip socks, as the title implies, is all about increasing your foot's grip inside the boots so that you have reduced internal slippage and ultimately enhanced comfort and performance. They usually do this by incorporating some elements that come into contact between the sock and the boot (and even foot to sock in some cases). The fraction of a second you gain in responsiveness may prove to be the vital link between success and defeat. The concept of grip socks started in 2007 when player-coach James Cherneski of the Crystal Palace Baltimore was bothered by his socks and the internal movement of his foot in his boots. It prompted his quest to develop on what is now called grip socks and in 2011 established Trusox... Trusox got a break in 2012 when Gareth Bale, still a blossoming player back then with Tottenham, decided to wear Trusox. This would prove significant as Bale would then perform above expectations most especially in terms of goal scoring.
