What is Premier Sock Tape?

To put it simple, it holds your football socks up! But here’s official description of the sock tape… Premier Sock Tape has been specially developed for the conscientious sports player. The new ’soft polyvinylchloride’ composite material allows a slight stretch helping to reduce the ‘tourniquet’ affect that other products may inflict. Keeping your socks up and your shin and ankle protection in place is important. Premier Sock Tape does this perfectly and comes in a variety of colours that will reflect most ‘park team’ kits. Professionally branded for specific sports use Premier Sock Tape will out perform ‘old fashioned’ methods of keeping the socks up and has become the favourite accessory for sportsmen from amateur to professional level.

S1 Shinpads - Possibly the best shinpads in the world?

S1 Shinpads

FootballEquipmentDirect.com now stock the revolutionary S1 Shinpads

As endorsed by Roy Delap of Stoke City FC, these S1 Sport Shinpads will revolutionise the way we think about shinpads! Here are the facts:

Maximum Comfort: Separate under section and pad ensure maximum comfort and protection and lightweight feel.

No need for tape: Tape can be restrictive to blood flow and can also cause cramp. It may also limit quick access to injury.

Non Slip Fitting: The wrap around under section and separate pad ensures that when you attach both together the system stays in place whilst leaving the calf unrestricted.

Flexible Easy Fit: Separate shin system allows independent leg and foot movement.

No Shin Guard Rash: The breathable under-section ensures no skin contact with the pad, keeping the leg dry and eliminating any dermatological issues.
