In the pack, blades pass low and close to the ice, and the ankle sits right in the firing line. These socks put certified cut resistant fabric exactly where you need it, for training and for racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLevel 4 cut resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socks are made from a cut resistant fabric and are labelled to the EN388 standard at cut resistance level 4, which is a high band of cut protection. In plain terms, the fabric resists a passing blade far better than an ordinary sock, lowering the risk of a serious cut to the ankle. Most short track competitions expect cut resistant clothing, and dedicated ankle protection is a sensible part of a complete race kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it protects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour ankle is one of the areas short track skaters expose most, especially in a fall or a pack pile up where other blades come close. These socks wrap the ankle and lower shin in cut resistant fabric, so you are covered in exactly the spot a race suit and boot can leave open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e labelled EN388, level 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGripper:\u003c\/strong\u003e a silicone band at the top holds the sock in place so it does not slide down mid session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e white, with the LiveLica logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e one size, made to fit a wide range of skaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied:\u003c\/strong\u003e as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one size design and silicone gripper mean they stay put on the ankle through crossovers, starts and hard corners.
