Features

Shin Guards are an essential part of any player’s gear and grip technology has been rising in popularity for all soccer players.

With the MediCaptain, we went a step further and implemented an all new protective measure with our “Shock Protect” padding for the metatarsal region of the foot, which is a known area of common injury for players.

This all new technology will help players play with confidence and reduce the risk of pesky injuries to a vulnerable area of the foot.

Increased Protection = More Confidence

Foot contusions and metatarsal injuries have plagued soccer players for a long time. Many prominent players have experienced nagging injuries in this area of the foot. With shock protect technology, players will be able to absorb the impact of getting stepped on by another player’s cleats and reduce the risk of injury to that specific area of the foot.

This is a first of its kind solution to one of the most common soccer injuries. Your foot is your most prized possession when it comes to soccer so make sure it is well protected with the MediCaptain!

Say Bye to Multiple Pieces of Equipment

ShockPad Protection

Shock Protect Padding provides protection to a vulnerable part of your foot and helps players avoid foot contusions and injuries to the metatarsal region of the foot. The metatarsal shock pad on the top of the foot protects players from pesky injuries such as being stepped on, which is one of the most common soccer injuries. This padding enables players to play with more confidence and reduces the risk of injury by absorbing any impact to that area

Shin Guard

Built in Shin Guard protects players shins from impact. The shin guard is a silicone, honeycomb shaped guard that is flexible and provides great protection. End the struggle of needing to purchase shin guards and shin sleeves seperately. 

Grip Sock

Grip Sock Technology prevents slippage and blisters on your feet. The grip underneath the sock prevents slippage in a players cleats and allows them to have improved stability. Grip Socks also reduce the likelihood of getting blisters while playing. Our grip technology includes rubber grips on the inside and outside of the sock for maximum anti-slip prevention. 

Our Solution to Preventing Major Foot Problems

One of the most common injuries in soccer, football, and any sport that involves cleats is getting stepped on in the metatarsal region.

Many players have been looking for a solution to this injury, and we are here to answer their concerns.

Current State of Protection

As the pursuit of lightweight performance reaches new heights, some cleats on the market have become increasingly streamlined, with soles that border on minimalistic. While these cleats may enhance agility and speed, they could inadvertently compromise the crucial metatarsal region’s protection. The metatarsals, those vital bones connecting your toes to your midfoot, play an integral role in stability and impact absorption. Thinner cleats, while aiming to amplify touch and ball control, might expose athletes to heightened risks of metatarsal stress fractures or other injuries due to reduced cushioning and impact dispersion. As we advance the beautiful game, let’s not overlook the importance of foot safety and well-being. It’s time to strike a balance between innovation and injury prevention, ensuring that players can excel on the field without compromising their long-term health and performance.

MediCaptain will significantly reduce the chance of having a foot injury by providing extra cushioning for the metatarsal bone. Our patent pending technology includes a super flexible silicone pad that absorbs impact without taking away the feel for the game.

Background

The MediCaptain project was inspired by an injury I suffered while playing soccer as a teen.  The metatarsal region of the foot is a very vulnerable bone that is exposed during game play as cleats barely provide any protection while playing. Countless players have been affected by injuries to this region of the foot. All soccer players can attest that getting stomped on is one of the worst feelings. Serious injuries such as metatarsal fractures, bone bruises, permanent nerve damage and more can occur when getting impacted by spikes in this region. The MediCaptain addresses this vulnerability and provides protection using a flexible silicone padding that covers the metatarsal region. 

We specifically engineered the padding to make sure it does not alter the “feel” for the game. We created two socks using this Shock Protect padding. First, the MediCaptain Ultimate is an All-in-One Soccer Sock with maximum protection as it includes a built in shin guard, metatarsal shock padding, and grip sock technology. Second, we created the MediCaptain Lite to be tailored to casual play, and versatile enough to be used in any sport that involves cleats and contact. This sock includes the shock protect padding and grip sock technology for that anti-slip feel and snug fit. 

My vision is to build the MediCaptain brand into becoming a leading and innovative sports protective gear company. I believe this project is the first step.

FAQs

How will the sock fit in my cleats with the extra padding? 

We have tested the socks in many different types of cleats and have found no fitting issue. For cleats that are more narrow and thin, it will take more effort to put the sock in, but with a few pushes it will go in fine. With transparency, we will say that putting on the cleat with the MediCaptain Sock will need slightly more effort than putting on a regular thin sock. 

What if my team doesn’t allow me to show other brand logos? 

You can apply white tape over our logo on the sock to stay in compliance with the team rules!

Can I use the MediCaptain™ Ultimate for other sports?

Absolutely! While designed for soccer, the MediCaptain™ Ultimate’s versatility makes it suitable for any sport that involves cleats and contact, such as lacrosse, football, baseball, and rugby.

What is Metatarsal Shock Pad?

The MediCaptain™ introduces a new level of protection with its Metatarsal Shock Pad. This padded region on the metatarsal bone area reduces the impact and discomfort from spikes and collisions, giving players the confidence to play fearlessly.

Why isn’t there Kids/Youth Sizing? 

Since we are just starting out as a new brand, we wanted to focus on adult sizing to start because adding multiple lines of product would be costly. If we are successful, we will definitely look to add youth sizing. Currently, our sizing starts at size 4 Men (US)
