Handball socks Erima

Tanaro, the club sock from Erima

The Tanaro opens the page. Rising up, it combines a background colour and a highlight colour: black and white, red and black, red and white, royal blue and yellow, royal blue and white, yellow and black, curacao and black, emerald and white. It's the team sock from Erima, just as useful indoors as on grass.

Short socks and ankle socks from Erima in packs of three

For the week, Erima sells its ankle socks and short socks in packs of three pairs, in black or white. The ankle remains free, which is appreciated in physical preparation and weight training. One pack per player covers sessions without waiting for laundry.

Classic 5-C and Wings: everyday models

The Classic 5-C is available individually in navy blue or in packs of three in black and white. The Wings, sold by three in white, follow the same basic approach. These are simple training socks to keep in your bag for sessions and jogging.

Without foot and leg sleeves: the two-part sock

Erima offers a footless sock and leg sleeves in dark green, orange, red, yellow, blue, navy and white. The idea: you keep your favourite slip-on, which is anti-slip for example, and wear the visible part in your club colours on top. In a match, match the sleeve well with the team's shade.

Erima, a team sports brand born in the early twentieth century

Erima was born in Germany in the very early twentieth century, initially as a manufacturer of gymnastics outfits. Its name comes from Erich Mak, who took over the company between the two wars, and the brand took the name Erima after the war. It has remained based in Pfullingen and specialised in team sports.

Craft, Puma, Errea: other brands to compare

For another range of club colours, compare with the socks from Craft and their plain Squad Solid, or with the socks from Errea, which are two-tone. The socks from Puma also have their footless version. Find all the brands on the handball socks page, and clearance items on the textile clearance page.

Frequently asked questions

Do Erima football socks work for handball?

Yes, the Tanaro serves the same purpose indoors: keeping the calf in place, protecting against shoe friction, team colours. If the whole team wears it at the same height, the outfit remains compliant.

What colour sleeve should be worn with a white ankle sock?

In a game, the sleeve should match the team's sock colour, while the ankle sock remains hidden in the shoe. The IHF regulations indeed require that compression sleeves be the same colour as the socks. During training, you are free.

How to dress a youth team in Erima socks?

Choose a Tanaro colour close to the shirt, then order by junior shoe size. For the week, one pack of ankle socks per child is enough. Note the sizes of each player to simplify reordering.

Does a leg sleeve replace a compression sock?

Not quite. The sleeve covers the calf without covering the foot, while a compression sock also supports the ankle and foot. The sleeve is mainly there to keep your own slip-on under a visible part in the club colours.

Ankle sock or short sock for training?

The ankle sock disappears into the shoe and leaves the ankle completely free. The short sock rises slightly and protects the back of the heel from friction. On high-top shoes, the latter prevents irritation.
