Title: Tape over socks...a development
Post by: Finnery on Feb 27, 2008, 08:10: AM
I made a thread a while ago about players wearing socks over socks, or tape over socks etc.

My friend tonight told me that JJBSports (a big sports retailer in UK) are selling these things specifically for it, anyone else seen these and can find a picture or something or know what they're called? I think they're like a big sock without the toe end, and a hole at the heel for the heel to fit into.

Johan, they're VERY recent, so you're probably confused. My friends brother now has them and they apparently 'look sick'.

Thanks to borg for this.
The white things above his boots, like that, but he just uses a lot of tape, these new things do the same thing but you just slip them on instead, its possible we start seeing him wearing them soon.

what you guys are talking about are shingaurd COVER SLEEVES...not ACTUAL SOCKS...with medical tape guys..people have been doing it for years actually.......It is NON WOVEN ADHESIVE MEDICAL TAPE...that is what most use...unless you want to buy the "football tape" lol..which is most likely overpriced crazy...
