If you're like most people, the phrase "sand socks" probably doesn't mean much to you. However, if you're starting to hit the hot sand courts more often or just starting out on beach volleyball, it's a different story entirely. As someone who's been playing beach volleyball for years, sand socks are a game-changer. Here are few reasons why you should invest in a pair (or two) of sand socks before hitting the court.

Keep your feet Cool and Dry

The biggest advantage of sand socks is that they keep your feet cool and dry. Unlike regular socks, which can get sweaty and uncomfortable in the hot sun, sand socks are made from a breathable material that wicks away moisture. This means that your feet will stay cool and dry no matter how long you're playing. And trust me, when it's 90 degrees out and the sun is beating down on the sand, you'll be glad you have them.

Prevent Blisters

Another big advantage of sand socks is that they prevent blisters. Because they fit snugly around your foot and don't seep in sand to cause friction like regular socks do. They significantly reduce the risk of getting blisters from friction and the hot sand. This is a huge deal if you've ever had a blister rupture in the middle of a game (trust me, it's not fun).

Come in Cool Patterns and Colors

Admit it, one of the reasons you wear regular socks is because they come in cool patterns and colors, right? Well, sand socks are no different! There are tons of cool patterns and colors to choose from, so you can find a pair (or two) that matches your personal style perfectly. Not to mention, they make great conversation starters when you're playing against other teams.

Inexpensive

Last but not least, another big advantage of sand socks is that they're inexpensive! You can usually find a good pair for  a small price to pay for all of the benefits they provide. Plus, most pairs come with a money-back satisfaction guarantee, so you can always return them if you're not happy with them.


If you're looking for an edge on the sand courts this season, look no further than sand socks! Whether you're looking to keep your feet cool and dry, or give yourself better comfort, these cool socks can make all the difference in your game.
