Founded by ex-pro Tom Curle, whose dad Keith Curle played at the peak of English football, this brand clearly knows its stuff. Safe to say, they’ve nailed it with their grip tech… and you’ll notice more and more pro players rocking them now you know about them too.

Pro 2.0 – Advantedge Premier Grip Socks

The Pro 2.0 is Advantedge’s flagship grip sock, and I’m putting it under the microscope. Sure, they’ve got other options, but this is the one that matters. I’ll kick things off with the technical specs and, in the end, give you our take on how it performs. As Advantedge themselves say: “Designed for players who demand more, tested by those who live the game every day.”

Fabric Composition

Before I get into just how grippy these socks are, let me talk about the material, it matters for fit and feel. The Pro 2.0 packs 64% nylon, 33% CoolMax®, and 3% elastane. Not that I think about them while playing, but that CoolMax®? It’s a moisture-wicking tech from LYCRA and they just feel so nice on you feet, a tight reasurring fit, with a quality, breathable sock material.

Advance Compression and Achilles Protection

On top, the Pro 2.0 features different weaves designed to make the compression more targeted. According to Advantedge, the goal isn’t just to optimise fit, but also to boost blood flow, which should, in turn, improve endurance. These compression zones even extend down to the Achilles, and the brand is clear that this is intended to help reduce injury risk.

PUREGRIP™ Next-Gen Grip Pattern

Here we go, the star of the show. The Pro 2.0 packs 170 grip elements in total, each a mix of silicone and rubber. The idea? The number and placement are based on heat‑map data that tracks pressure points on the foot during a game, factoring in how it moves when sprinting, shooting, dribbling, and changing direction. Visually, the grip pattern takes inspiration from Formula 1 racing tyres, with aggressive, multidirectional threads designed to match a footballer’s need for agility, speed, power, and balance.

Fit and Sizing

No confusion here. The Pro 2.0 comes with specific ‘left’ and ‘right’ designations. You can also pick from three sizes based on your usual boot size: #1 covers 2‑5, #2 includes 6‑10, and #3 is for 10‑13.

My Take on Advantedge Pro 2.0 Grip Socks

First things first, these socks are seriously comfortable. The fabric feels soft and pleasant against the foot. I can’t say I’m constantly thinking about whether the compression boosts blood flow or endurance, but I can definitely feel that it’s just enough to keep the sock secure on your foot without feeling suffocating. The material sits on the thinner side, which probably explains why the socks feel so light and nimble on-feet.

Fit-wise, it’s always a nice touch when socks come with left and right designations. Some brands don’t bother, but having dedicated sides makes the sock more anatomical, allowing it to wrap and form naturally around your foot shape. The Pro 2.0 doesn’t suffer from lateral overstretch, so it feels structured and locked in. That said, it does stretch a fair bit if you pull it back and forth, so if you’re at the lower end of size #2 or #3, it might be worth sizing down.

And then there’s the grip. No doubt about it. It’s as effective as you’d hope. In boots where there’s a little extra room or where the upper has more give than you’d like, the Pro 2.0 really helps keep your feet in place and somehow improves the lockdown of the boots. I think the fabric is decent at wicking moisture and keeping your feet relatively cool and dry, but I do wonder if all that silicone might affect grip once things get really sweaty during extended play or in hot match conditions. That said, I find it fascinating that despite how relatively thin the Pro 2.0 is, you don’t really feel the grip elements under your feet like you do with those sticker-dot style socks. Wearing them with your boots feels completely natural.

With its all-white design (only colour option at the time of this writing) and minimal branding, the Pro 2.0 is easy to blend in. There’s not much you’d feel the need to cover up. For now though, this might be a deal breaker if you’re hoping to colour-match it with your game socks.

Finally, what really puts the Advantedge Pro 2.0 in the elite tier of grip socks is the insane value for money. One pair will set you back £15 (still competitive compared to other brands). But the real bargain comes with the 5‑pair bundle, currently priced at £40. With the quality you get in the Pro 2.0, it’s hard to justify spending the same on a single pair from elsewhere.

Wefoot used to be my favourite, but now with the Advantedge Pro 2.0, I have a new first choice of grip socks.

Other Advantedge Offerings

As promised, let’s take a look at Advantedge’s other offerings. They really do bring something to the table. It’s great that the same fabric, tech, and fit of the Pro 2.0 are available in a non-grip version. If you already have boots that fit perfectly, sometimes all you need is a pair of quality socks. For those who care about colour, the toned-down Icon, Reflective, and Stealth models offer options.

The main difference between them is just how prominent the logo is at the back. All three use standard cotton fabric, lack the nuanced Achilles wrap, and feel less structured than the Pro 2.0, but they share the same grip composition as the flagship model. To me at least, that drop in the premiumness and performance of the fabric in non-pro is noticeable. I would still rate these non-pro versions highly though, at least when ranking them along the available options out there.
