Hold your ground in every contact.

Rugby asks your feet to do everything: drive in the scrum, hold your line in the ruck, then step off either foot at pace. NXTWAVE grip socks keep your foot locked to the boot so that force goes into the ground, not into slipping.

  • Scrum and ruck drive

    Grip zones under the ball of the foot stop your foot sliding forward in the boot as you drive.

  • Step and cut

    Multi-zone traction holds the sock to the insole when you change direction at pace.

  • The full 80 minutes

    The wishbone band stops the sock bunching and the reinforced heel and toe handle long seasons.

Engineered to win the little battles.

Targeted grip zones

Silicone grip pads lock your foot into the boot. No slide, no wasted steps.

No more blisters

Reinforced heel and toe kill the friction that wrecks your feet mid-match.

All-day comfort

Breathable, cushioned knit that stays dry from warm-up to final whistle.

Built to last

Holds its shape and its grip, wash after wash after wash.

Rated 4.8 by 23,197+ athletes.

Questions, answered.

Can I wear grip socks under my club socks?

Yes. Wear the grip sock on your foot and a cut club sock over the top, so you keep the grip and your kit colours. Our guide on why rugby players are switching to grip socks has more.

Will they actually stop my feet sliding in my boots?

Yes. The silicone grip pads on the sole lock your foot in place so your power goes into the step, not into slipping. It’s the whole point of the sock.

What size are they?

Our grip socks come in clearly-marked sizes to fit UK 3 to 12. Check the size guide on the product page. If you’re between sizes, go up.

Does the grip survive the wash?

It does. Machine wash cold, inside out, air dry. The grip and cushioning hold up season after season.

How fast is delivery?

Free worldwide shipping, and we dispatch the same day (Monday to Friday). Orders arrive within 7 days.

What if they’re not for me?

14-day returns on unworn stock socks. If they’re not your new match-day staple, send them back.
