Is there such a thing as grass socks?

I'm not sure how your footwear is going to affect your acl unless you think barefoot is going to cause a knee hyper extension or internal rotation, but anyway, I do agree that ankle injuries indoor and on grass are more common than on sand.
In any event, I typically play sand barefoot and grass I play in sneaks with an ankle brace on my left ankle.
I think you
could design socks for sand but anything I've seen so far would probably cause you to have less friction than more and may result in sliding. I don't think anyone ever has a sliding problem in sand so that might be why they're more prevalent.
I've never used sand sox but I imagine they have a variety of benefits: no drying out of your toes from sand, no chaffing later in the day if you can't wash the sand out, insulation against hot sand, awesome tan line around the ankle, getting oggled by the ladies because you look so cool. The list goes on...
