The GEARXPro Performance System
Grip is where performance begins. Protection, contact and recovery complete one connected system — four products, one setup, from preparation through the moment that matters.
Grip & Control
Grip:IN, mapped to the foot.
The silicone arrows sit where the foot moves inside the shoe. Select a point to light the exact Grip:IN zone on the sock.
Protection & FlexibilityThe Shin Pad Sleeve locks the guard exactly where impact lands — engineered compression instead of straps and tape — so protection stays planted for the full session.
Shin Pad Sleeve
Contact & ControlGrip Gloves extend the silicone-print grip to the hands: controlled contact on ball and equipment where a bare palm would slip.
Grip Gloves
Recovery and PreparationGEARXPro Recovery tights close the cycle with graduated compression — firmest at the ankle, easing up the leg — supporting the muscles between one session and the next.
GEARXPro RecoveryThe GEARXPro Performance System™
One performance system. The full GEARXPro range.
Grip, protection, control and recovery — the same four that open the range, every piece engineered to work with the next. One connected system: before, in motion, under pressure and after.

- 5 out of 5 starsStaff
The benefits of the GEARXPro Recovery products are many. They're used both before performance and training and especially on long away trips — by plane, coach or train: the compression aids venous return, preventing fluid build-up and supporting lymphatic drainage. In the post-match phase, through the players' feedback we've realised the benefits are considerable — they feel a sense of well-being and lighter legs. Naturally, further aiding venous return supports the post-match recovery process.

With SOXPro I feel safe, and the grip with the shoe is magic.
- 5 out of 5 starsStaff
I'd split the benefits between those from the Recovery gear — based on graduated compression, which gives a subjective benefit our players appreciate — and those from using the gear during training, thanks to the sock's grip that ensures stability and the compression that limits muscle vibration.
- 5 out of 5 stars
I've always got on well with them — my foot stays put, it doesn't slip and it fits the shoe nicely. I've been using them for years now, and every year at the start of the season I buy new ones based on the colours I'll wear that season. I recommend them to all players, professional and not…
- 5 out of 5 stars
I've been using your socks for 3–4 years and I've never had any kind of blister or foot-sweat problem. They stabilise the foot inside the shoe really well and give a great feel to the footwear — truly top, well done, great product.

Since I started using the SOXPro recovery socks after matches and training, the next day my legs feel much lighter!

Before you choose.
GEARXPro is a performance system built for preparation. SOXPRO grip-sock technology anchors control; we also engineer protection, stability, recovery and women's performance.
What does SOXPRO actually do?
SOXPRO is GEARXPro's grip-sock technology combining Grip:IN silicone placement on the sole and heel to reduce internal foot movement and improve control inside the shoe.
Which SOXPRO model should I start from?
Start with Classic for the original match-grip sock. Move to Ultra Light for a lighter feel, Low Cut for low-profile shoes, Sprint for speed work, and sport-specific models when the sport calls for a different cut or knit.
Is GEARXPro only socks?
GEARXPro builds a complete performance ecosystem: SOXPRO grip socks form the foundation; we add shin guards (FLEX-GXPRO with AntiShock+), insoles, grip tape, sleeves, gloves, compression and recovery to support every stage of preparation.
What does Class 1 mean here?
The Class 1 wording refers to the product certification context. EU 2017/745 is the European medical-device regulation reference; product choice is still about sport comfort, grip and fit.
Where is the proof coming from?
From public retailer listings, the Plus X SOXPRO recognition, sourced ambassador identity pages and product-family Amazon links where accessory ratings are shown.
Can teams, athletes or retailers work with GEARXPro?
Yes. Athletes and creators join GEARXPartners. Retailers and distributors use the B2B route. Clubs and teams source GEARXPro grip socks and ecosystems — control, protection, recovery — with full sizing and color flexibility.
