THE BUILD
THREE LAYERS, ONE JOB
A cross-section through the sole, where the work actually happens.
- 01 GRIP COMPOUNDGrip on the sole, locked to the insole of your trainer. Your foot stops sliding inside the shoe, so the force you generate goes into the sled instead of into wasted movement.
- 02 CUSHIONED UNDERFOOTTargeted cushioning where the load lands, absorbing impact without adding bulk, so your feet hold up across high-output stations and long runs.
- 03 BREATHABLE KNIT BODYA lightweight knit that actively manages sweat, with elasticated midfoot support that keeps the sock locked in place as fatigue builds.
Built to take repeated load, friction and wash cycles. The pair that turns up is the pair that lasts.

ATHLETE REVIEWS

These socks are the best ever for hybrid racing. So much cushion, and the grip is the best. I’ve done 15 HYROX races, and there is no other sock I’d even consider wearing. A++++
Julius - ★★★★★
I'd seen a few ads for different variations of these kinds of socks, but I took the plunge to see if it would help with the sled stations and reduce run blisters. Coincidence I finally got the time I'd been chasing for? Time for another pair!
Nicole - ★★★★★
Great socks for running, hyrox and lifting!
Holly Curran - ★★★★★
Bought these socks as felt my trainers were slipping on the sled, I am now fully locked in & feel so secure. I have bought them in every colour & also recommended to all my friends.
Sarah Duckworth - ★★★★★

- ★★★★★
The best socks to train in for sure. I've tried different brands but none come close to these. Perfect for my Hyrox training when running and pushing the sleds without slipping out of my trainers.
Kirsty - ★★★★★
If I had to describe these socks in one word it would be “lightening”. I train in these socks every day and use them to compete in all of my races. Nothing in the market compares to these. They provide so much support grip specially when it comes to sled. Using these socks has gave me a new profound confidence and stability. 10/10 for product. Highly recommend products to everyone
Katy - ★★★★★
Would definitely recommend to anyone! Made such a difference for sled push and pull as i felt really secure in my shoes.
Phoebe - ★★★★★
They do everything that’s advertised. I use them for every activity now giving me a confidence within my trainer. Would recommend A+
Andrew Harding - ★★★★★

QUESTIONS
EVERYTHING ELSE
Which size should I get?
S covers UK 3 to 7, L covers UK 8 to 11. If you are on the line, size down for maximum lock-in or up for a touch more room. The size finder above does it from your shoe size.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cool and air dry. Do not tumble dry or iron the grip, and skip fabric softener, which coats the grip and dulls it over time.
Will the grip wear off?
No. The grip is bonded into the sole rather than printed on top, and is built for repeated load, friction and wash cycles.
Do they work with any trainer?
Yes. The grip works against the insole of your shoe, so it is not tied to a particular trainer. Athletes wear them with everything from racing flats to lifting shoes.
Are they just for HYROX?
No. Anywhere your foot slides inside the shoe, they help: sleds, lunges, carries, running, and general gym work. HYROX is simply where the problem shows up most.
How thick are they?
Targeted cushioning underfoot where the load lands, without bulk elsewhere, so they run comfortably and still fit your normal shoe.
What if they are not for me?
Return them within 30 days. If they're not right for you, email hello@vrtxuk.co and we'll sort it out.
