Cleats with a sock are a new format of sports shoes that appeared just a few years ago. The new product was tested by professional football players. The new type gained many fans, but not without criticism. However, models continue to appear on the affordable market, taking over the trend from football players. The difference lies in the sole - the presence and absence of spikes. The top cover is woven from wear-resistant fabric, additionally covered with synthetic material. It wraps tightly around the ankle.
Benefits of sewing a sock to a football boot
Opinion about the new trend is divided. But it has obvious advantages:
- the boots fit like a glove;
- less weight;
- thin coating.
The main advantage is the precise fit to the foot. The sock securely fixes the ankle joint without restricting its movement. In fact, this shoe is a sock. The upper part is much thinner, making it easier to feel the ball.
The frame is knitted separately, making the boots lighter than conventional models.The weight is about 200 grams and is practically not felt on the leg. Lightweight and flexible boots with a sock are the new generation of sports shoes.
How to sew a sock to football boots
The cost of boots with a sock exceeds the affordable price, and purchasing one for everyday wear is quite pointless. However, they are comfortable and protect the foot. And you can recreate a budget analogue to experience all the benefits of the new product.
Any shoes, both in everyday life and during sports, are subject to serious stress. This is especially true for children's models, since children are very active during walks.
Preparing a budget model of boots with socks begins with choosing sneakers. Unfortunately, already worn ones will not work here - they will not fix the leg properly after sewing them with the sock. First of all, you need to consider the size, length and width of the foot. The workpiece should fit the leg perfectly - like a glove. The wrong size will easily cause injury.
Important! New shoes will invariably chafe your feet, so you'll want to wear them at home a little before you start recycling them.
Step-by-step instructions for sewing a sock to sneakers:
- Choose a model that fits snugly around your feet. Remove the laces and cut or trim the tongue;
- Choose elastic socks that match the color of the inside. Football socks are perfect. Or choose an elastic fabric, forming the necessary elastic band yourself;
- Cut a piece to the required length. You need to choose one that is stitched with an elastic band - it will hug your leg more tightly;
- Sew with strong threads in small increments to the top of the sneaker. The stitches should be close together to secure the fabric. It is better to stitch on a sewing machine;
- After working on a pair, lace them back tightly.
The next step, more suitable for craftswomen, is to cover the boots along with the sock with a special waterproof fabric. The appearance will be more finished and they will wear down more slowly.
It is important to try on boots with a sock, made by yourself, during the process. They should not be too tight, so every detail should be adjusted as much as possible. Their appearance, of course, differs from trendy models, but the overall goal has been achieved - the boots tightly fix the foot, reducing the likelihood of injury during active running.
