What To Look For
Moisture control is the most important feature to consider when selecting a football sock. A football sock should contain little to no cotton. It is better to select a fabric that is designed to keep the moisture away from your foot, so your foot stays dry. The sock should also be breathable, so your feet stay cool. The sock should also be knee high and it should have Lycra or Spandex in the leg so it stays in place rather than slipping or bunching.
Common Pitfalls
On thing many people overlook when they are buying football socks is support. Many socks have built-in cushion for added foot support. This cushioning can help reduce foot fatigue. You also want to make sure the heel and toe of the sock are reinforced so they do not wear quickly.
Where To Buy
Football socks can be purchased at a sporting goods store, department stores, on line, or at a big box retailer like Target or Wal-Mart. For selection and fair pricing, an online retailer like Amazon is your best bet for buying football socks. Shipping on an item like socks is not typically costly because they are lightweight.
Cost
Football socks range in price form $8 to $15 a pair depending on the brand you are buying and where you buying them. The Under Armour Football socks are well rated by consumers and they cost about $8 a pair as of September 2010. The Adidas Copa Zone Cushin sock is also rated well with consumers and it cost between $8 to $16 as of September 2010.
