Since socks are made of nylon, a tight plastic material, they take time to stretch out, especially since players wear brand-new pairs every time they step on the pitch.

Therefore, the tightly fitting socks apparently prevent circulation around the calves, which in turn leads to issues like cramps. To stop that, players like Bellingham use scissors to cut holes in their socks, especially around their calves.
