The Cheapest Grip Socks, But Are They The Best? Gain The Edge Grip Socks Review

Pure Grip, Gain The Edge, Tapedesign, Stepzz, which one is better! We look at all 4 of them today focusing on the cheapest one, the gain the edge grip socks.
The grip sock market has exploded over the last 12 months and I recently covered most of the grip sock brands I have tried in a tier ranking video. However there are so many different brands out there right now, and that means a lot of you were asking me to cover more grip socks, well today I am happy to oblige with the first of many upcoming grip sock reviews.
This is the Gain The Edge grip socks review, Gain the edge are the cheapest grip socks that I have reviewed so far, coming in around 4 USD cheaper than the pure grip socks which is what seems to have pushed people to ask for this review. This style of sock really does benefit from the lower price point so I was pretty interested in how these would actually turn out.

Dang thank you so much! I'm so sorry I just barely finally saw that the vid dropped and yet I was the one (of the ones) who asked for it, but ayo thanks so much!

Additional question tho, what's the difference between Nike Crews and Nike "Training Ankle Socks (3 Pairs) Nike Everyday Max Cushioned"?

I actually already have a pair of those so I'll do a review on them. Maybe next month.

Please review the Liiteguard Pro-Tech crew grip socks!

[@BootWizard]

If you check out my tier ranking list for grip socks I talk about the liteguard in that video. You can search it or its available if you hit the i in the top right of the screen on this video.

[@ultrapegasus123]

Hey mate, I wanted to get grip socks since the brand new regular nike crew socks are too slippery therefore resulting in blisters. With that being said, I am looking for grip socks that are similarly thin to the Nike light weight crew socks (dri-fit) would you say the gaintheedge offers the same material and feel which is thin?

[@BootWizard]

I'd try and get the Nike Grip if that's the feeling that you're looking for. The gain the edge would be a similar thickness though. Although I personally don't think the Nike Crew or the Gain the Edge are a very thin sock, fairly average.

[@ultrapegasus123]

@@BootWizard appreciate the reply mate, absolutely loving the content. Keep it up! love from Dubai

[@moonlee1511]

Thanks for your video I wonder which Nike grip socks you recommend. Tried to search from Amazon but can’t find it. It would be great if you could share details of the Nike grip socks 🙏🏻

[@BootWizard]

Essentially Nike only have the Nike Grip Strike socks. They sell out direct from Nike quite quickly

[@Kellyfracasse]

Hi James, when I try looking for the Nike grip socks online I can only either find plain Nike crew socks (without grip), or the grip socks they have are out of stock. Where and when did you pick up your latest pair?

[@BootWizard]

Got my last pair direct from Nike about 6 months ago, they tend to be available from other places as well as direct from Nike but you're right they do sell out quickly, might just have to Google for them and see if any other retailers have them.

[@Kellyfracasse]

[@BootWizard]

Seem like a legit issue

[@slicepro5852]

I wanted to ask your opinion on getting some cleats should I get the puma future 5.1 or the nemeziz 19.1 I found both on sale and wanted to ask u

[@BootWizard]

They're very different boots. I like both of them but it's very dependant on what you want from your boots.

[@slicepro5852]

@@BootWizard Ive use the 19.3 nemeziz and it was alright but for striker/ winger which would u use

[@BootWizard]

@@slicepro5852 your position on the field absolutely doesn't matter, there is no such thing as a boot that's better for strikers or wingers or defenders, it's all about what you're comfortable in and what feeling you want from your boots.

[@Lompepasning1]

Can you review the cep grip sock?

[@BootWizard]

I can look into them but honestly they've never really struck me as a sock that would be good for football as a standalone item., they don't seem to have a crew length in the grip, only the compression line, so for me the short socks are too short. But if I can find a pair cheap (they're also quite expensive) I'll review them.

[@Lompepasning1]

@@BootWizard A friend of mine got them, and yes they are short, but not anklesock short... He also got them with grip elements.

[@BootWizard]

@@Lompepasning1 it's absolutely possible to use them.of course and the shorter length might not be an issue for some, just always struck me as a running or hiking sock more than a football one. Like I say, if I can get a pair cheap enough ill review them for sure.

[@jonaslarsen4161]

Great review. After looking your review i bought a pair of liiteguard. Waiting for them now. Really hope you are right 😉

[@derbyyank13]

There are so many grip sock companies now, I was thinking about doing ones only sold in Japan and literally every bloody company sells them now.

[@BootWizard]

At one point I thought I was about half way to having all the grip socks on the market so I could do a video on them all, in the last year there has just been an explosion and despite buying more I've probably only got about 20%

[@Lucabezas]

In a perfect world what features would make the best grip sock?

[@BootWizard]

Good quality materials. Good grip that doesn't interfere with your feel in the boot Good ventilation Moisture wicking Good comfort Anatomical shaping Accurate foot sizing Good Heel Shape High Enough on the Ankle / Calf Enough compression to keep the socks up and keep them comfortable. Affordable Price. That's a lot of the things I look for.

[@Nico7gn]

I see that you listed the nikegrip socks in the top tier ('foot fetish') but I really don't agree with that because they have been made of such a weak material. I just wear my regular size and they just keep on tearing. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. In the first weeks I already got holes in both socks.

[@BootWizard]

One of the best around for me and most people I know in my boot groups, never had any durability problems with them at all. Different people will have different experiences with things though, socks and boots included. 👍

[@Nico7gn]

@@BootWizard hmm.. Okay, maybe what caused the tearing was that I wore the knee high variant and not the low one..🤷‍♂️

[@BootWizard]

It's possible, maybe they just didn't work for you generally.

[@tonilechner3611]

@@Nico7gn my nike grip socks also very quickly got a hole in each one in the front (at the big toe). They still work the same tho and I still think they're great. I think the material is just a bit too thin in the toe are above the grip part.

[@rubiosteven11]

It has been Two years when you did this review so is the sock still good?

[@leexr2i]

Been using these a while and love them tho I have not used any other grip socks to compare them against. They are so much better than the standard socks I have been using. No more blisters, can accelerate, decelerate and change direction much quicker now. If anything, the worst bit about this company is its super aggressive marketing.. with in hours of placing an order they are emailing you trying to get another order out of you.

Glad you're enjoying them, that's the most important thing. That they work for you.
