It is great to play beach volleyball on a sunny and moderately warm day. But what if on a hot day temperatures rise and the sand is burning? Or temperatures drop (e.g. in fall) and instantly you have cold feet? Not only is it no fun to play but it can also cause severe injuries.

Sand socks are the perfect protection on the sand

The solution are sand socks. Every beach volleyball player should have them since they perfectly  compensate for extreme temperatures. On hot sand they will cool your feet and in cold weather they make comfortably warm feet. Additionally, they provide protection in rough sand, especially when the sand contains mud, little stones or other abrasive material.

There are a couple of beach volleyball sand socks out there in the market. We tested several beach socks and I really found the ones by Vincere of great value. Vincere Sport is an American company based in Texas. They offer socks for the beach and water in different shapes and colors. There is a low-top version but my favorites are the classic high top sand socks which have a couple of great features.

Comfortable fit and a velcro fastener to keep sand out

The high top sand volleyball socks come in different sizes so that a comfortable fit without slipping is ensured. Especially helpful is the velcro closure which helps to keep sand out at all times. Other models do not have the velcro which can be quite annoying when you permanently need to get rid of sand in your socks.  I also like the stylish design and the huge range of color options. So if you don’t wanna go for standard black, just choose a nice color to stand out on the court. Finally, Vincere sand socks are mashine washable which makes cleaning very easy and convenient. Just put them in the washer and they will look like new.
