Having been pestered by various people about the lack of decent cricket socks I’ve taken the plunge and have these en route as samples.
I’ve used the TT branding in the event people use them for football of other sports during the winter months.
I thought I’d get some feedback from the CBFers about them.
Price wise I’m looking at the below-
£9.99 a pair of 3 pairs for £24.
As mentioned feedback welcomed 🫡

Have you tried them out yet yet? I'd be keen, I wore through my gain the edge socks in the heel in 1/2 a season.

Got a few people lined up to try them out to put them through their paces 👍
Will have to commit to a production run shortly though so wanted some feedback in the event my tastes are crap 😂

Book an afternoon trampolining with the kids- free socks thrown in!
-
A mate of mine took the plunge with these type of socks for his semi pro football team after a player slipped before a match and missed the season. Similar to what Foakes did from memory.
Personally I like the design and would be keen on a pair as I use GM socks that are really comfy but super hot in summer and I hit hot feet so size 8 mate and I’ll take a pair
-
Look good to me mate, design is good i think. I don't like traditional woolly socks, so these look good to me. Only issue I've found when wearing similar grip socks is getting cricket shoes on easily, or at least the ones with a built in 'sock' anyway.
-
Do they have a thicker soles like other cricket socks?
-

Hopefully yes from the spec I’ve requested. As I say I’ve got time to tweak things from the samples before committing to larger volumes.

My eldest bday party was at airhop…for the price I paid I’d bloody well want free socks…yet still had to pay £2.50 a pair!
-
These are now live to pre-order via the webshop with volume discounts for 2 or 3 pairs.
https://ayrtekcricket.com/product/teamtek-traction-socks/
They'll be with me early Dec so will dispatch all pre-orders then, thanks to those members that have already ordered having seen my Instagram post yday!
-
Do they have a decent amount of cushioning plus padding to heel area and up to Achilles?
-
I've been using socks like these for a while for cricket and golf. I can't speak any higher of them. They're amazing! They do everything I need them to. Especially during a full swing and in the field, it's 1 less thing to worry about. I buy a new set of 3 off amazon for about the same price but when I need my next set they'll be TT (I want a few new things from Ayrtek)
-

The cream area is thicker than the rest of the sock to pad out the sole area. They provide a nice form fit around the Achilles area and are super comfy.
I sent out some samples to people for review/feedback and they’ve gone down very well hence progressing to a formal order that’s on its way currently 👍

Thanks mate. Always good to get an unbiased opinion of a product and some feedback to further improve them 🫡
-
These are due to arrive on Monday barring any customs delays, thanks to those that have ordered already.
As soon as they reach me ill be picking and packing them for dispatch.
-
Of the people that have tried these. I'm a size 11. So the choice is 8-11 or 11-14.5 what would people recommend? Cheers
-
I’m an 8 and find the medium a decent fit if that helps mate 👍
-
Cheers Tom thanks. I'll got with the 8-11 size
-
Cool they arrived earlier on so stick and order in and I’ll get it dispatched tomorrow for u 👍
-
Forgot to mention that these turned up the other week along with thing hybrid.
Fit amazingly and feel so good. First net next week so if I like them enough I might be ordering a couple more pairs and getting rid of my old socks
-
Thanks for the order mate, let me know how they go as feedback always welcome 👍
-
Trying mine for the first time tonight along with the bobble hat of course.
-
Sorry,also forgot to leave a message- my 2 pairs turned up just before Christmas.
Super comfy and feel great. Many Thanks Tom!!
-
tried mine last night and they were great. Felt like a bit of an octopus walking around in the kitchen with no shoes on. Will definitely be getting a 2nd pair.
-
haha yeh they do like to stick to the floor, I need to remember im wearing them as attempting a power slide to answer the front door will end in disaster on the laminate.

Yes no power slides is these babies 😁
-
Just ordered 3 pairs over to Australia. I’m really picky with my socks and have trouble with them either being too thick or just not a great fit/feel.
Currently using my Feetures Elite mini crew running socks but can’t wait to get these 😊.
Slowly being taken over by Ayrtek with a bat, hybrid arm guard and now the socks haha
-
Thanks mate, will get them dispatched today for you 🫡
-
Just received two pairs of these yesterday as a birthday present. Tried on and feel nice. Quite different to “normal” socks but let’s see how they go ….mesh tops look nice and will hopefully stop feet sweating so badly although in this weather will start season with thermal socks on!
-
I bought 3 pairs and theyre ace, my only complaint is that they keep puling the insoles out of my shoes when I take them off.
-
Dully noted…dial down the gripiness of them 😂
I sound like an octopus when walking through the house on the laminate floor.
-
Just wanted to follow up on original posting . Wore in in match for first time since purchase and live these socks. Wore new shoes for first time and would normally expect blisters but none!
Warm day ( for a change) and feet did not sweat like they did with Horizon socks and my rubbing in shoe.
Love them - but next time can I have the pair that stop you getting a first baller!
-
I got a couple of pairs and they have been great. First time in a cricket boot yesterday, and all good. I wear them for my (very occasional) runs too, and they feel good in trainers. But mostly I like them for sticking to the kitchen tiles!

Haha oh dear, apologies for the 1st baller obv the socks fault! Appreciate the feedback.

I bought 3 pairs of these socks about a month back. Played two games in them so far. I think they are really rather good.
- The fit is excellent (I'm size 12)
- Comfort levels are very high - padding in the right areas, but not everywhere or so much that my foot volume is increased causing tightness in my cricket shoes
- I know it's the start of the season and so not the hottest, but definitely feel the integrated mesh areas are helping my feet sweat less than normal
- I'm not sure I understand the benefits of the grippy spots on the bottom, but it hasn't been a hindrance
- I can't speak to their longevity yet, but the build quality feels high
Overall, I'm impressed and feel they offer good value for money.
-
Got a pair a couple of weeks ago, first game on Sat in them, top class!
-
Thanks chaps, glad they’ve gone down well as I’ve just had another 1000 pairs arrive today after running out of the L and XL from my first order 😂
I used to have the GN ones that were down until I bought a new pair of adidas boots and found they were too thick to wear with them hence looking for a more apt solution as opposed to 10 pairs of Donnay from SD!
-
Mine are lovely, whenever you are ready to do a limited run in pink I'll be front of the queue
-
1000 appears to be a limited run 😂
Surely you can buy some white ones and a lovely red jumper and whack them in the wash together...
-

I would also be very keen on this. Our kit is black and pink.
I need to order a couple more pairs of socks soon
-
MOQ is 300 pairs per size so if you fancy 150 each!! 😆
-
Ordered 3 pairs recently, only used once but they are excellent
-
The socks are brilliant. Highly recommended.
-
3 games in, super comfortable, great vfm
-
Sadly have to report one sock has now torn a hole when putting on today . Didn’t pull that hard- worn in four games so not great. Shame as was very impressed with them

Mid season verdict on these is they are simply the best cricket sock I've worn.
The modern trend of grip style socks hasn't really translated over to cricket, until now. Any grip socks I'd worn were just a sport style sock that is a bit too thin for cricket, and often too white rather than the cream/grey of a traditional cricket sock (although I've worn pink ones a fair bit recently. If a dickhead in pink socks can get you out then its time to retire......) These Ayrtek socks have the thickness and padding where you need and expect it from a cricket sock, some meshing to help regulate temperature on the top of the foot, and the grippy pads on the sole, bang on.
A bit grim i know but I have a habit of not washing my socks until I lose a game (and I've had more than one unbeaten season in my career) so I've become accustomed to an old sock being moulded/formed to my foot, these seem to remember your foot shape after wearing them just the once, I love it.
-
Thanks Jake, glad ur getting on well with them. Small tweaks to make them cricket specific have helped whilst trying to keep them at a sensible price point compared to others out there.
-
@KettonJake Jake, you are gross.
-
This bloke seems to like them along with his Super Size Pro Hybrid 😂 credit to @Buzz for spotting them! (https://i.postimg.cc/7hDdFwgx/IMG-0007.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
-
I think he must have seen Jake’s review…

He looks too clean to wear a sock more than once.
-
That's awesome! I'm worried that you are getting too big now for us mere forum mortals. :D :D
-
Never!
-
Have you tried telling Cummins he can have a pair of socks if he'll send you a bat with his name sharpied on the bottom? 😂
-
Haha a Pro bat wouldn’t improve my game, rather have a signed shirt
