Hartlepool United are pleased to announce the partnership between the Club and TRED.

The grip sock company was founded by Pools forward Alex Reid.

On founding TRED, Reid said: “I had an idea after trying many grip socks that you’d wear once, wash and would just fall to pieces – to try my hand at making my own.

“After trialling them last year for Wealdstone, I genuinely do feel they are the perfect blend of comfort and effectiveness, with extra grip in your boots and sweat-wicking technology to keep the socks more dry they are both stylish and effective.”

TRED socks are now available to purchase online via Pools Retail.

The socks come in two ‘one size fits all’ sizes for adults and children, respectively.

Reid continued, “This is something I have been working on for a whil,e and I’m very passionate about.

 “I’m over the moon for the Club to be supporting this venture, and I’m so happy and excited for the fans, both young and old, to try them too.”
