Volleyball Socks- How to Protect Your Heals and Toes

The other day, I stepped on the hard court for the first time in many months (it may have been over a year!) I didn’t have my Mizuno Volleyball socks on and I regretted it!

So what happened?

Well, I’m a middle blocker. I jump a lot! I was wearing mid top court basketball shoes, which were tied very tightly, but didn’t help all that much in my play.

I had a few blocks, but at the end of the night, I was feeling some pain. Where? No, not in my knees (thank god.) The pain was at the tips of my toes!

It’s not fun to feel this and it can happen a lot. No matter how tight you tie your shoes, your toes can jam up into the front of your shoes.

(For any of you who also ski, this happens when you go off jumps. Your toe will jam up into the front of your boot.)

Now I could have prevented this…

I own a pair of Mizuno Performance Crew Socks and they are the bomb! They are padded both in the toe and heal which protects the covered area.

What a mistake I made to not wear my volleyball socks! My guess is that I’m probably gonna have some black and blue toes (again.)

When I first found these volleyball socks, I was hesitant. They were at a price range I wasn’t used to buying socks at. However, I decided to buy because of the padded heal and toe.

Since then, I have not regretted the purchase. In fact, they are the smartest volleyball purchase I have ever made. (Well, I am pretty attached to my Wilson Beach Volleyball. I guess it’s a close tie.)

So how long will these socks last? The great thing is that they are made out of polyester, cotton, and acrylic. They will have a long life span! The acrylic will help your feet breathe better. There won’t be big sweat build up that will stain or ruin the sock. Plus, the polyester will help hold the sock together. The fabric is gonna stay together after many washes.
