About us

HERO was founded in the UK in 2021 by me Harry Carmody, at the time, a 14 year old Academy football player. After receiving a pair of Anti Slip socks from my parents a few years back, I took a keen interest in the advantages of these. Many of the socks I have worn were either difficult to get on, uncomfortable, expensive or didn’t look good. I then set out to change this and research a sock which was durable, comfortable and easily accessible. We have designed a grip sock which not only looks and feels good, but also ticks all the boxes we want for performance.

HERO is a mnemonic and the brainchild of mine taken from the starting letters of my families first name’s. Harry, Emma, Ryan and Olivia. I decided to start my own brand and use HERO as my brand identity due to not only the sentimental value but also the meaning of the word and how all athletes strive to become a HERO. We want our customers to be brave, determined, committed and winners.
