FAQ
What are the micro grip threads?
LockWeave™ grip fabric comes from splitting the thread to 1/20th the size of a normal thread. It increases the surface area, and gives the fabric grip. There are no grip additives on the sock.
Does the grip fade over time?
No! The grip does not fade. In fact, we find it gets even more grippy with age!
How long do the socks last?
Our socks should last years. The material and sewing process makes them very durable. We recommend keeping toenails short due to the tight nature of climbing shoes. If your socks don't last as long as you expected, reach out to us at hello@gambasocks.com.
How do they fit? Should I downsize?
Gamba Socks fit true to size. Refer to our size guide to find the right size for you.
Are there any downsides to climbing in socks?
No! Most climbers find that climbing in socks doesn't impact performance at all. But it has tons of upsides. Better grip, less smelly shoes, increased comfort, dry feet. OK maybe there is one downside...you will have slightly more laundry to do. But thats it!
