Our take on Voxx golf socks

Voxx Golf Socks are designed to be the most comfortable, breathable, and supportive golf sock.

That’s a bold claim, but it’s one our member reviews in the GolfWRX forums support.

Swingblues said: “To me, HPT looks like a giant finger print pattern done in the material. The gist of it is that it is suppose to promote better contact between the foot and the shoe. Does it work? Honestly, I never loss any traction during the round with these socks perhaps it felt more contact as say compared to the thicker woolen…socks.”

Regarding Human Performance Technology, from the balance, anti-fatigue, and pain standpoints, Voxx puts forth a bevy of research to support the efficacy of HPT and its associated neural response.

How does HPT work? According to Voxx, “When your skin comes in contact with the Voxx HPT pattern, a sensation is triggered, sending information to your brain. The brain and nervous system processes that stimulation and users see an immediate improvement in balance, stability, and power, while reducing foot pain.”

Regarding the feel of Voxx, GolfWRXers Blopar said: “Very comfortable…and soft texture , just the right amount of spandex elastic in arch support area and cuff…Would categorize these as relatively thin to medium thin in terms of overall “weight” and thickness. Very happily there is no “heel slide” present in either style, I believe due to the sock material itself and “ribbed” sequence of padding in the heel, hence no achilles friction therefore minimal risk of blistering. No “tongue bite” with similar ribbed padding on the front of the ankle. Even the no shows fit well above the tops of all my shoes, so no need for heel tabs as found on some other brands–just the right amount of elastic in the top cuff. I agree with another reviewers comment that they feel almost invisible to the feet!”

Applying our general philosophy of testing and fitting, our best advice to test these head to head with your preferred golf socks and evaluate them with respect to each of these points. And again, it merits mention that, Voxx’s claims are backed up by research. We’re confident these are the best-feeling, most supportive golf socks on the market. With respect to distance gains or increased precision, again, our take is they are eminently worth putting to the test.

Regarding the socks anti-microbial properties, GolfWRXers getair23 has an intriguing observation: “I wanted to test the Antibacterial feature. So I didn’t wash them last night and wore them for a 5 mile run this morning. Score 1 for Voxx. They are sitting next to me as I type and have passed the sweat wicking and the smell test.”

GolfWRXers are the ultimate gearheads, so it only makes sense that mindset be applied not only to the clubs in our hands but the socks on our feet. Beyond HPT, Voxx’s heel, toe, and arch technology stand alone, and the anti-microbial properties save golfers from the sweat and stink of other golf socks.
