Why shouldn't they? A header socker like 
https://de.rs-online.com/web/p/idc-steckverbinder/6257369 doesn't rely 
mechanically in any way on beeing connected to a wire.

I'd advise definitely against isolating hose or shrink tube, because 
there will come the situation, when you want to access the header pin 
(usually it will be a test point).
