Volleyball sand socks are just the right protection for the beach volleyball player to have because they perfectly match the sand and provide the most traction available. On dry sand they prevent your feet from becoming too hot while in dry weather they keep your feet comfortable. In rainy sand they also keep your feet dry and protect them from rocks, pebbles and other hard objects on the beach. They are the ultimate in comfort and protect the skin from irritation. They come in a variety of colors and designs that allow you to express your individuality no matter what your volleyball style may be.
When selecting volleyball sand socks, it’s important to know how much room you have on each foot and what kind of shoes you have. If you have big, thick soles you want to make sure that you purchase socks that have more material on the bottom so that it doesn’t dig into the soles. The thicker the sock, the more support it will provide for your feet but remember that thick soled beach socks can dig in your soles and cause blisters if not properly maintained. Most volleyball players wear socks that have a slight wave to them; this helps give traction as well. When choosing your volleyball sand socks you should also make sure that your shoes have enough room to fully flex without being constrictive.
You can choose between either Velcro straps for a tighter fit, woven straps, and simple toe clips or elastic laceups. Woven beach socks offer a little more flexibility and can be washed in the machine without problems. The most common type of sand volleyball socks are made with neoprene soles because they grip the sand and the bottoms of the shoes very well. Neoprene is a very good insulator and provides excellent traction. When choosing your volleyball sandals, make sure that they have cutouts or vents at the top of the shoe to let any moisture up through the shoe. This will keep you from getting water logged on the bottoms of your feet.
