Grapplesock

It is a decent product but they do roll a bit. I use the grapplesock Vx2. It has toe holes which prevent this. Hope this helps.

Dennis Hallman was coming out with his own brand of those kind of socks. i havent herd anything about them lately but i do know they were coming out. they were some sort of GrappleSock. Look at his pictures for his fights with Jeremiah Metcalf or Danny Ruiz for images

thank you for the responses.I checked out the vx2 grapplesock,but I have some crusty toenails I would prefer to spare my training partners from.So I want something with a closed toe.Right now I train in wrestling shoes,but I find them cumbersome.Also they give grip to my partners for heel hooks etc.,and I find it hard to arch my feet back to create good hooks on the top of my feet(like in De La Riva guard)So I was interrested in the idea of a sock type product.Really,even without my f-ed up toes I would prefer to train with something on my feet.Just for general mat cleanliness,grip,and foot protection.To bucksNHB-thanks for the tip I'll check out the dennis hallman version.I'm thinking about just chancing the 4q2 sock for the $23 and hoping for a winner.If I do that I'll write a review for those interested.Until then the search continues.......
