By stopping the foot sliding inside the boot. Every millimetre of that movement is traction lost when you plant a foot to turn. The grip pads lock the foot to the sock and the sock to the boot.

They help substantially. A blister forms when skin moves repeatedly against a surface under pressure - stop the movement and you remove the cause. That is why they are common among players who train most days.

Inside out, in cool water, with no fabric softener. Softener coats the silicone grip pads and is the quickest way to turn a grip sock into an ordinary sock.

The grip does, eventually - the pads thin with washing and use. The sock will still be wearable long after it has stopped gripping properly, which is worth knowing when yours stop feeling different from ordinary socks.
