Can a pair of socks make a difference in your performance?
Ballplayers pay a lot of attention to their gloves, bats, spikes when they play in games and daily practice. How about socks? In Japan not only amature but also professional ballplayers have fell in love with the Japanese style socks with 5 toes.

Why are they so good? Because the five toes of your foot are separated, you can grab the ground firmly with your 5 toes. That prevents your body from losing its balance and power. I believe all serious ballplayers may understand this feeling easily. In addition to this feature, this 5-toe socks keeps your foot very dry. You know how uncomfortable it is to play with your foot sweaty and sticky・・・!

5-toe socks are little more expensive than the regular type of socks. The harder you grab the ground, the easier the tip of toe part will break. But once you try these on, you would think they are reasonable. Major baseball manufacturers sell them. Economy packs are available too. The price is 1050yen for 2 pair-pack (Mizuno), 1575yen for 3 pair-pack (SSK) . If you would like to try them, let me know!
