Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit FR Sock is a specialised piece of protective footwear designed for professionals who require both comfort and safety in high-risk environments. Constructed using high-performance Modaflame fibres, these socks provide essential flame-resistant properties while maintaining the soft feel of a traditional knit. Unlike standard socks, this garment is engineered to offer a secondary layer of protection for the feet, ensuring that safety standards are met from the ground up without compromising on wearable comfort during long shifts.
Key Features
- Elasticated Leg: The leg of the sock is specifically elasticated to provide a snug, secure fit, preventing the garment from slipping down inside boots or shoes during active movement.
- Modaflame Knit Construction: The use of Modaflame fabric ensures inherent flame resistance, providing a critical layer of protection for the wearer in hazardous conditions.
- Ergonomic Comfort: Designed with the professional in mind, the knit structure offers a balance of breathability and insulation, keeping feet comfortable throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
The design of the Modaflame Knit FR Sock prioritises durability and consistent performance. The lightweight fabric construction ensures that the socks do not feel bulky inside safety footwear, which is vital for preventing blisters and maintaining circulation. Because the flame-resistant properties are inherent to the Modaflame fibre itself, the protection will not wash out or diminish over time, providing a long-lasting safety solution.
Performance is further enhanced by the precise fit. The elastication is tensioned to hold the sock in place without being overly restrictive, a subtle but important detail for those who are on their feet for several hours at a time. The black colourway provides a professional and practical appearance that resists visible staining in industrial or kitchen environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
While socks may seem like a minor detail, customisation is a hallmark of a fully cohesive corporate uniform. These socks can be personalised by our expert team based in Telford, who have been perfecting garment branding since 1976. For a professional appearance, embroidery is an excellent choice for adding small logos or staff initials, ensuring that even the smallest details of your workwear reflect your brand's identity.
Alternatively, print options are available for those who require bold, clear identification. Whether you choose the sophisticated finish of embroidery or the clarity of print, our in-house production ensures that the customisation does not interfere with the comfort or the protective qualities of the Modaflame fabric.
Use Cases
These socks are ideally suited for professionals working in catering and kitchen environments, including bakers and butchers, where heat and flame hazards are a daily reality. They are also an essential addition to the uniform for those in the hotel, bar, and restaurant sectors who require the peace of mind that comes with flame-resistant clothing.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend choosing your standard shoe size for the best fit. Given their lightweight nature, these socks are perfect for layering under heavier work boots or as a standalone layer in moderate temperatures. Ensure they are pulled up fully to take advantage of the elasticated leg, which helps maintain a professional look and prevents bunching at the ankle.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high performance and protective qualities of your Modaflame socks, it is essential to follow correct laundering procedures. Regular washing at moderate temperatures helps to remove salts and oils that can degrade the fabric over time.
Avoid the use of industrial bleaching agents, as these can weaken the fibres and potentially compromise the integrity of the knit. Ensuring the socks are dried naturally or on a low heat setting will help maintain the elasticity of the leg, ensuring they continue to provide a snug fit for the duration of their lifespan.
