Hey, does anyone know why some footballers wear white ankle socks over their normal kit socks. Cristiano Ronaldo and most of the Turkey team seem to do this a lot. Thanks
I wear white ankle socks underneath my actual kit socks in matches for my club team. I actually find it more comfortable than going straight kit sock to shoe. It is probably the same reason as to wearing them on the outside. May it give more of a presence in the shoe if that makes sense to you?
I started wearing ankle socks under my knit socks when i first bought new cleats to prevent blister, and then I just stuck with it
I reckon it just something that looks good, it goes along with the likes of taped wrists, bandages and sweatbands etc. if you have any more suggestions, have a look at my thread, Football Styles.
I wear regular socks under my soccer socks because I get blisters...they hurt REALLY bad too...and I can run as fast because of it.
You SHOULD be wearing a pair of socks under your soccer socks (shin guards should be between the two pairs of socks). Pretty much everyone does that.
Not everyone on our team wears other socks...so I didn't know until I got the blisters...but now I'm fine...
