still waiting for the Tabio socks! I remember it was so highly praised by you, James. I went Japan for the first time last year and bought 3 pairs immediately. very good quality indeed.

[@BootWizard]

Part 3 or 4, they will be on. And my praise hasn't really wained.

[@liama1589]

Have you tried the 2024 Tokyo Football air/regular grip socks? The previous versions were great but they’ve had a massive change to the grips this year

[@BootWizard]

Yes I've tried them, they will be in the very last part as they're the last pair that I've tried recently

[@jenniferpyle8797]

I’ve been watching this series for far too long! lol. I don’t even remember the beginning! Would be great if there was a link to the graphic w the final rankings to reference. Also, looking for an RTP (road to pro) review, they are ALL over my feed. Which gives me pause.

[@BootWizard]

There's one more part to come and then there will be a full video with every single sock on it and a complete graphic at the end! Just have to get the one more part out first. Without having tried them the RTP socks look very very VERY similar to the wefoot grip socks. I'll have to investigate further, but I am convinced if you check my wefoot review you'll get the answers you're looking for

[@torbjrnmortvedt8750]

Wefoot is a good mention!

[@BootWizard]

Full wefoot review on the channel already as well. Amazing socks.

[@derbyyank13]

Love this, man. Keep up the great work!

thank you for watching, much appreciated. We should do a podcast or something. hehehe

[@hackabusi]

Ok so revisiting this grip sock video series of yours James, I've bought the gogogoal grips socks off amazon for a fiver because quite frankly, that is an absolute bargain! Will try them out this weekend and see how they are compared to the previous budget copy's and gain the edge socks I've used before. I've some Umbro Protex grip socks on route and considering purchasing some others to see how they compare, Admittedly, I've not had that many issues with gaintheedge socks to be fair - but thats probably because I've not tried other more pricier options!

[@BootWizard]

Yeah for a fiver they're worth a shot. Umbro have some great socks but the protex I'm unsure of at this point, need to get them in. Gain the edge do a job but I think there's a lot better out there.

[@jdsenisse]

Thanks for the video, love seeing reviews so we can better decide if it’s worth the money! One sock suggestion: 1to1 activewear grip sock, it’s from a British company. Looks good by looks but don’t know about the actual quality, grips and performance. Hopefully you’ve heard of them!

[@BootWizard]

hey, thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying the content. I have heard of the socks but I haven't tried them yet, the compression area, or what looks like a compression area running around the heel and ankle looks interesting.

[@jdsenisse]

I do think the compression on midfoot and heel area look good, but I wonder if there is internal grips. If so, then I need to get a pair!

[@BootWizard]

@@jdsenisse definitely one for the list.

[@Krokrokod]

Hey! Which grip socks would U reccomend- searching for something thin with high quality.. Thanks!:)

[@BootWizard]

wefoot lite are a great shout or check part 1 and see my thoughts on liteguard.

[@MrSesho10]

Would love to hear your take on shinform grip socks! Cheers!

[@BootWizard]

Haven't tried them, they looked a bit like another crew sock with grips so I haven't bought them. But I'll add them to the list.

[@rq7284]

Tape design is also popular because you can customize the front with writing and a flag.

[@BootWizard]

that is true, nice feature to have, unfortunately doesn't make me like the socks anymore haha! :)

[@rq7284]

@@BootWizard yeah it's only useful for team environments. A lot of pros wear them which makes the hype. For the average Joe playing Sunday league having JR 10 or whatever on your socks will probably just make you look like a dumbass lol

[@BootWizard]

@@rq7284 hahahaha very true.

[@WimGeldhof-pc1xf]

GT Grip Socks are my personal favorite, I prefer a little thicker grip sock 👌🏼

[@BootWizard]

preference is always going to be key, I think there's a lot of potential with the GT Grip socks, I can see maybe a gen 2 or gen 3 becoming one of my favourites

[@saverioaureli]

I have two suggestions for the Wizard: -Latest (less dots, ankle compression) Falke 4GRIP Stabilizing -Tabio MC Sport Football Great job, good info, keep going 👍🏼

[@BootWizard]

Hey thanks for watching, Tabio will be in one of the other parts it's absolutely one of my favourites. For all intents and purposes he MC football is a bit of a rebrand of what I consider to be the classic Tabio sock, they're basically the same thing. And the Falke will also be in a different part, either 3 or 4, it will be the older version because I haven't tried the new one yet, but overall, it still gets a glowing review from me, and the new one only improves on that based on what I can see from the tech details.

[@olamland2696]

I was Wondering if you have tried the thin version of trusox? And the thin version of tapedesign and soxpro? I’m like you. I need a very thin one.

[@BootWizard]

Thin trusox yes I've tried the others I haven't

[@fronny]

i don’t feel the seams on the storelli. been using their socks for a couple years now. and the experience has been nothing but great!

[@BootWizard]

Glad you're enjoying them, they've got the potential to be an amazing sock if you don't mind the seam. Unfortunately they really bug me, especially that toe seam.

[@madsronaldo]

Good video keep going!

[@BootWizard]

thanks, appreciate it. A few more parts to go for sure.

[@MK-lc9fp]

Hello mate, could you tell me the name of the green Puma in your video?

[@BootWizard]

The pair around 1:00 onwards when I talk about the GT grip socks is a Puma Evospeed Fresh 2.0 , released 2017 so they're very hard to get hold of. @bootsforatonne on Instagram has a pair for sale at a very good price, might not be your size though.

[@MK-lc9fp]

@@BootWizard thank you mate, might check it out before it sold out.

[@Ilymaynor]

Can you review senda gravity grip socks? They seem good for the price

[@BootWizard]

They're not currently on the ranking schedule but I'll see if I can get them for a future review

[@andrewpalmer1873]

Makes me feel better that I could never tell the difference between my Lux and TruSox😅

[@BootWizard]

Hahahaha well they do look the same 😂😂😂

[@jacobatkins9823]

What grip socks do you recommend, under £30 thick, quality grips and long lasting?

[@BootWizard]

Maybe check out some of the options from VYPR5 they're generally a good quality and if you avoid the lite they're also on the more padded and cushioned side. I'd stay away from the silicone grip element options though. Just personal preference

[@tronicscott]

I've tried a few grip socks and as far as grips go nothing is as good as trusox. They could be nicer material and last longer but i wish they had a true grip rival

[@BootWizard]

I would strongly recommend trying WeFoot

[@tronicscott]

@@BootWizard might do, seems to be just as expensive as trusox. Any type recommendations?

[@tronicscott]

Oh maybe not might actually be nzd I assumed it would show us dollars

[@BootWizard]

@@tronicscott they're not much cheaper than trusox. Difference is about 10USD for me.

[@GableArellano]

Do you have pure grip socks and gain the edge?

[@BootWizard]

For sure, they will be in either part 3 or 4 I would assume. I have 3 variations of the pure to cover and the standard gain the edge.

[@emmcheng]

what are your thoughts on falke grip socks

[@BootWizard]

They'll be in a future tier list part, but they're one of my favourites

[@manupasta]

The material composition is what you get for the more expensive socks. For me, I want cotton poly mixed socks. All the cheaper grip socks socks are 100% polyester. It would be really good if you could include to material composition in your next video. Polyester socks are horrible to wear

[@BootWizard]

I'll be honest with you I'm probably not going to add material composition to the list, it's a lot of extra work for me and on the whole people don't care enough or don't know what difference it makes as they don't have an understanding of how the materials work. That's why I just simplified it to technical fabric or crew sock + grips, it makes it simpler for most people to understand. You'll also find a lot of cheap grip socks have a cotton poly blend and just the materials alone aren't enough to justify the sock purchase, the quality and amount of Spandex or elastine or nylon starts to play a huge role along with the shape and sizing, just the percentage blend doesn't seem to offer too much insight especially to thr average person. For example Drip grip socks which I don't like for example are 45% nylon 35% cotton 17% polyester. Wefoot grip socks which I love and are incredibly high quality are 40% cotton 50% polyester. Elite feet grip socks (not on the list yet) which I also consider a poorer cheap sock is 50% cotton 40% poly. The Tanstc socks which are some of the cheapest I've reviewed have the highest cotton percentage at 75% and I don't think they're good enough at all. Hope that answers your question and gives you some insight into my thought process.

[@manupasta]

@@BootWizardi understand a lot of extra work but definitely think it’s worth mentioning just because most people don’t realise, you do know what you’re talking about. I think you can educate a lot of your viewers on the matter

[@BootWizard]

@@manupasta The issue then becomes what I mentioned above, there is no magic formula where you can say that a certain % of material is good or bad. Using the examples I gave above, there are socks with very similar blends right at the top and bottom of the scale. All I'd be doing is putting up numbers that in reality mean very little in terms of how good the sock is, that's why I'm my view the extra work doesn't achieve a lot, if I genuinely thought it would be something that could be very impactful and help people make good decisions I'd happily do the work, there just isn't a guideline that can be given because there are too many other factors at play like manufacturing techniques, material patterns, quality of each individual type of material etc. Just to throw another example in there, the Falke grip socks which will be in a future part and I believe to be some of the best on the market contain no cotton, it's an entirely synthetic blend with only around 10% polyester.

[@olamland2696]

Have you tried The stats sports grip socks?

[@BootWizard]

I've tried the Vypr 5 which are essentially stats sports they will be in part 3 or 4, I haven't tried their silicone element version.

[@olamland2696]

@@BootWizardyes, but i feel like The stats sport one is a bit thinner. But maybe that’s just me. Great video. Have been waiting all week for it.
