Force3 Ultimate Referee / Umpire Socks

Good quality. But could be a little thinner for warm days.

Socks are very comfortable and feel great over shin guards.

I love these socks! They're so comfy, and they keep the strap on my shin guard from rubbing on my calf.

Bought these when they were on sale. They are super padded and comfortable. Love them so much, I’m going to buy a few more pair at full price!

I wear size 11D shoes. I am a normal, average-sized person, I'd say. I go about 5-11, 225 lbs. and have muscular calves, but not huge. The smaller size of these socks want to keep rolling down when pulled up over the calf. This leads to them tearing after a few wears. 3.5/5. The larger size comes up over my calf nicely and stays place. 5/5. As for compression, the smaller ones are tighter on my calf, giving more compression as a result (of course). While the larger size does give some compression, they are nowhere near the compression of the MLB socks available from Ump-Attire. 4/5. Now, these socks are comfortable to wear. They fit my feet well and are soft feeling on my feet too. 5/5. Overall, I can fully recommend the larger size while the smaller ones need some fixes before they're truly for up to size 11. My recommendation is to size up on these socks. I'd rather have to fold them down a bit at the top versus having to keep pulling them up like I do with the smaller ones.

They are socks that I like to wear, and I couldn't pass up the sale price for 2 pair.

The first time I wore these Force3 Umpire Socks, I knew it was a good choice. My feet felt much better after a long tournament day. I changed into another pair of them at midday. Glad I made the purchase.

Best pair of socks on the market especially for umpires. Socks provide leg coverage up to the knee during the warmer months when working behind the plate, so you don’t have to wear full leg tights. Are extremely comfortable & sturdy, while keeping your feet dry & feeling great even after a long day at the field. GREAT BUY!!

Most comfortable socks I have ever worn to officiate in. 3 games in a row and no foot fatigue.

Very comfortable.

These socks are not compression but do stand up well so far.

Great socks. Works well with the shin guards. Comfortable.

Very comfortable and they provide good support.

I bought these socks because they were on sale, and I had been wanting to get some better umpire socks. These are really nice. They aren't too thick but have nice cushioning on the foot. They work really well with my shin pads. Some people said they were too tight on the shins, but they're perfect for me. I am fairly thin though.

These socks are very comfortable, and stay up the whole game. Their design also allows your feet to breathe and stay dry through the contest. They are a basic design and do not require a certain sock to go on a certain foot. I got the socks on sale and they were worth the dollar I spent. Would recommend them to anyone umpire looking for new socks!

A very comfortable sock that lasts a long time! Highly recommend getting some. I use them for baseball, basketball, & football season.

This is a very comfortable sock! I would definitely recommend this sock.

Very comfortable and stay up well over the calf for an entire game.

The most comfortable sock and they last a long time! Highly suggest getting some. I use them for baseball and football season.

Comfortable and dry.

These socks are the bomb, they feel so good on my feet and are comfortable.

Excellent comfortable socks.

Excellent product.

Honestly, I did not like these. They felt great in my hand, looks to be very well made, they just were not for me. They were too short to completely cover my calf muscles and give the kind of compression that I want.

These are the most supportive socks I've ever worn. Nice tight fit above the calf, so I don't have to worry about them falling down during a game. No chafing from Shin Guard Straps. Basically the only socks I'll wear on a ball field.

Great pair of socks for all year round!! I love them!

Great socks even when it’s hot my feet don’t sweat they are by far the best socks that I own. They are not that tight around my calf. I buy them at least twice a year since I use them a lot.

Great Socks for the price. Very comfortable.

Great sock; shrinks a little!

I've used these socks for a few games, and they are very comfortable. The only reason I didn't give them a 5-star rating is that they are a little shorter than I expected, barely covering my calf. Otherwise, they are great socks.

Great socks. Comfortable all game long and super plush. Feet stay dry even on hot days. They stay up all game long, so you won’t have to bother to pull up your socks during a game. Great value getting them on sale!!

Great pair of socks. Keeps my feet warm during the cold months and dry during the hot months! Super comfy and durable as well. Would recommend 10 out of 10 times and will purchase again.

Wearing Force3 socks is like standing on a pillow that is suspended by a cloud! These are the absolute best socks you could ever buy! Say goodbye to hurt feet during your officiating contest. Say goodbye to not being able to do anything after your long day on the court, field, pitch, or wherever you call games! It's absolutely the best sock on the market, HANDS DOWN. Not sure how anyone uses anything else.

Hands down the best socks on the market. Hold up very well. I do over 100 baseball games a season and wouldn't choose any other sock.

Would have liked a little thicker sock, but they feel great on my feet while running.

I like them. Was looking for an over the calf sock for summer ball and these are nice.

If you have large calves, these are not for you! I put them on out of the package, pretty sure I put a tourniquet on my leg! They look nice though!

Love these socks. Have 3 pair now to rotate thru. Feels good on my feet and calves. Gives a nice slight compression too. I won't wear shin guards without these.

Very comfortable in the foot, but if you have large calves, you won't be able to pull the socks up all the way.

A little snug, but I would hate to have a sock that rolls down your leg while you're working. Ordering another pair.

Item came timely and as described. Excellent service as always!!!!

Really good compression socks. I'm using them in basketball and will also be using them in baseball/softball. They're comfortable and moisture wicking.

Very comfortable and durable umpire socks. I use them for basketball and baseball.

These are THE most comfortable socks that I've ever worn. The socks are breathable and moisture wicking.

The best! I now wear them all the time.

I like the fit of these. My first time wearing them they did great. However, after one wash (Coldwater only) they won’t stay up above my calfs and slide down when wearing. If wearing under shin guards would recommend a full knee-length sock as these are not as long as I would have desired after washing.

I wear these under my shin guards and they're very comfortable. The fit is good - 5 stars for me.

Very good quality but I'd order the next size up or the top will be extremely tight on calves! Other than that I have several pair of them and love them!

Best socks out on the market, guaranteed. Can't go wrong with a Force3 product especially from Ump-Attire.com. Another great product from a great company.

Comfortable but not long lasting.

I wish I had gotten these socks long before now. The over-the-calf fit is what I like best and don't feel like I'm getting the circulation to my feet cut off, plus it helps with the fit of my shin guards. The wicking is great and whereas my feet are usually soaked after working the bucket, I have very little accumulated sweat on the socks now. Great product!

These socks are the best! They wick away the sweat and keep my feet dry all day long. Soft cushion for the bottom of my feet for extreme comfort!

Some of the best socks I've found for umpires. They stay up and hold their elasticity far longer than any other socks I've used in the past.

Until now, this has been the ONLY sock I would wear! I read where some people thought they wore out easily. That had not been my experience for the past few years. I ordered 4 pair last month. They are horrible! They start to get threadbare in the heels the second time I wore them. I will not reorder these again! Garbage for a Cadillac price doesn't work for me.

These socks are the best. Whether they are under my shin protectors, or I'm on the bases, these are my go-to socks. They keep my feet cool and comfortable at all times.

Great socks - great material and long enough to cover for my shin-guards! I have multiple pairs.

3rd order of these socks for my husband. These are the only ones he will wear.

2nd order of these socks. I love them.

Great socks. Soft, good thickness to give some extra padding. Perfect fit. Keeps feet dry all day long. Will definitely be ordering another pair or two.

Awesome socks...wear them every game!

Had been wearing lightweight compression socks, wanted to try some fancier ones. I bought these and the New Balances. These are so much more comfortable. Once again, Force3 comes ahead of the other ones I've tried.

Great socks to wear. Lightweight and comfortable, feels like your not wearing anything but durable. I have big legs the fit is perfect.

The Force3 Umpire Socks are the most comfortable pair I have worn up to this point in my experience. They are very light, easy to put on after the first game of a doubleheader where you have sweated, and give good support on the bottoms of your feet. This product comes highly recommended.

Don't skimp on your feet. If you haven't tried these socks yet, you're in for a treat.

Simply the most comfortable socks there are.

Very comfortable.

The best pair of socks I've used. Stay up and don't bunch and really help me with some of my feet issues I have. I now have 6 pairs!

With out a doubt the most comfortable officiating sock on the market. Not a big fan of almost knee high socks but they stay pulled up all day with no bunching.

Really comfortable on my feet.. great product...

These socks are durable, yet soft. Could be a bit longer as they seem shorter than other over the calf socks. Easy to wash/dry and do not cause my feet to sweat in FL summers.

I like the fit and great product.

Very comfortable. They stay up and I never have to adjust them. Nice thick soles and heels.

These new Force3 socks are excellent, even better than the original with a better foot-bed. My feet are very happy!

These socks were a gift for my son and he is very pleased. He loves the fit and the support they give him - he previously had a blood clot and when his doctor saw these he was pleased also. I am glad I purchased then for him.

They are comfy, breathable, and friction free. They fit the bill under my shin guards. I like them better than the Nike socks I used to wear.

A little disappointed with these socks. I expected more for the price. I am 6'2 and they are a little short. They feel like regular socks to me. No real difference after spending all day on the field. The 3N2 are much better and cheaper.

Very comfortable and breathes well. They could be 2-3 inches taller.

Very breathable and comfortable. I only wish they were just a few inches longer to go above the knee, but regardless these are worth buying.

Outstanding game sock for umpires!

These socks are like every other Force 3 product I've purchased...AWESOME!!!

These socks are very soft and help a ton on hot days. Used for basketball and baseball. Love how they feel.

Love these socks. Very comfortable and I can do several games in a day and still be comfortable.

Follow up to my original review - I used these Force3 socks from April to November. These things are pretty amazing. They never ever slid down even doing double headers in the hot summer sun. Excellent job of keeping your legs cool. Highly Recommend! ======================== I normally wear soccer socks at the plate so this is mostly a comparison between the two. Pros: 1) Extremely good job wicking away moisture. 2) Stay up well (had for 5 games so time will tell) 3) Very lightweight and comfortable. Cons: 1) Just a little too short for me. I'm 18" from my heel to the bottom of my knee. These (XL) are about two inches below my knee which means my upper strap is on my skin. Soccer socks go above my knee which protects me from the straps. 2) These aren't as thick as soccer socks so you don't get as much cushioning for your foot. However, since these are thinner they are cooler to wear, it's a trade-off you have to decide.

Can't imagine a better sock! First day I wore them I did 6 games over 12 hours and 7 games over 15 hours the next day. Exhausting. I was impressed my feet held up so well and I give a lot of that credit to these socks. I really like how they're thicker in the foot and lighter weight on the calf. They go all the way to the knee so my shin guard straps don't chafe.

Force3 attire and equipment is slowly taking over in the officiating world...the socks are the best in the business and designed for those who work consecutive games in a row or 4 or 5 in one day...wicking process is spot on and the comfort is what I enjoy.

I wear these over my long compression pants when doing the plate, so length is not an issue, however they do help my shin guards stay in position and provide more comfort. And my wife cannot mix them up with other socks due to their distinctive look.

These are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. Great in cold weather. Their support make your legs less tired during the game.

This is the 1st pair of socks I've ever owned that stay up all day. I've worn them several times and they're still in perfect condition.

Most comfortable socks I have ever worn for baseball. A must buy.

Great socks, although they don't last very long...

By far the best socks I have ever worn for officiating! They work for any sport in any climate. Very light, form to your feet and calves, stay put/don't slide down your leg, and wick away moisture better than any other. These are a MUST HAVE.

Been using these socks for a few years now, and a big fan of them. Very comfortable, wicks away moisture. Glad ump-attire.com now stocks them.
