# ATAK Sports Rugby Compression & Grip Socks

## What Are ATAK Shox Grip Socks and How Do They Work?

ATAK's Shox [grip socks](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/grip-socks "Grip Socks") use silicone grip pads on the sole to lock your foot inside your boot, stopping the internal slipping that robs you of power and stability. The mid-length cut sits just below the calf, which works for most players and keeps things simple under long socks. The full-length version runs to the knee and is designed for players who want additional compression through the calf as well as the grip function. Both are available in a wide range of club colours, so you can match your team kit or wear black and white year round.

### What Does ATAK Compression Wear Actually Do?

[Compression baselayer](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-baselayer "Rugby Baselayer") works by applying graduated pressure to the muscles, which may help reduce fatigue during a match and support recovery after it. ATAK's tops, shorts and tights are cut for rugby, which means they're designed to move with contact sport rather than just running. The long-sleeve compression top is the most versatile piece - it works as a standalone training layer, as a base under a jersey in cold conditions, or as a recovery garment. ATAK compression shorts can also be worn under playing shorts to provide support without restricting movement.

### ATAK Kids' Compression: What Size Does My Child Need?

ATAK kids' compression comes in YS, YM and YL, which broadly correspond to age ranges rather than specific heights - check the brand's size guide before ordering if you are unsure. For younger players, the long-sleeve compression top is often the starting point because it provides warmth and a small degree of muscle support during contact drills. Kids' [compression shorts](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/compression-shorts "compression shorts") are available in black, white and royal, which covers most club colour requirements. Free UK returns mean sizing is low risk if you are between sizes.

### Which ATAK Grip Sock Colour Do You Need?

ATAK Shox mid-length grip socks are available in black, white, navy, red, royal, green and maroon, which covers the majority of club colours across grassroots rugby in the UK and Ireland. If your club socks are a colour not listed, black is the practical fallback - it works under any sock and is the most widely worn option. The Shox compression grip sock (full calf) is available in black and white only. If you want grip socks in a less common colour, check the mid-length range first as that is where the full colour selection sits.
