Description
Rugby is a full contact sport which also places a lot of stress on the feet. Quick starts and stops, along with the forward, backward and constant change of direction, all create higher friction and heat, resulting in sweaty feet and wet socks. When the grass/pitch are wet (which they often are) or when it’s raining, it only makes things worse for the feet.
Wet socks soften and weaken skin, making feet vulnerable to blisters. Heat, moisture and friction work together to cause blisters. Foot blisters are the most common sports injury, frequently occurring on the toes, heel and ball of the foot. Research indicates those with foot blisters are 50% more likely to experience an additional (more serious) training-related injury.
Many rugby players play for their high schools and colleges and also for all-star, travel, club teams/leagues, and tournaments. Longer and more frequent practices increase the chances of getting blisters and other foot problems and injuries.
Our unique drymax fiber technology allows rugby players wearing drymax Rugby socks to have drier feet helping them avoid getting blisters. With dry feet and no blisters rugby players can practice longer and harder, helping them get into better shape for their matches.
