I did not buy these for yoga – just slippery wood floors!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
We moved into a house with mostly wood floors, and in the winter, they get COLD and regular socks just slip like crazy–and with a baby that I carry around all the time, slipping is NOT an option. I’ve tried many different type of grippy socks and slippers, and haven’t loved any of them–the gripper dots usually come off within one or two washings or trips around the house. So when someone recommended these yoga socks, I had to give them a try.

Unfortunately, I don’t really like them. The grippy knobs are nice–they’ve stayed on through a few washings already and they’re small enough that you can’t feel them when walking on them (a problem with some other grippy socks). But the actual toe part of the socks? Egads. It’s hard to get your toes in the holes and takes some finessing (something I don’t feel you should have to do with something as basic as socks). Then, once you have them on, the socks feel SO thick they are almost uncomfortable (I now know I can’t stand to have things between my toes).

As far as sizing, I wear a 10-11 and I ordered the Large and they fit just right. They do help with not slipping on the wood floors, but the irritation they cause when wearing them push them to the back of my drawer.

no go

Great idea, but poorly made. Material is thin and very restrictive. They seem to be sized for a very petite foot with long skeleton toes. The toes are tight, way too tight, and I bought both my “correct” size and a pair a size larger. I don’t have fat feet, webs, or extra toes , but I do have a wide footprint with short toes. The stiching doesn’t “give” at all, there are seams at the toes, and they actually cut off circulation to the toes. Beware if you don’t have “perfect” model’s feet, or if foot care for a health issue like diabetes is a priority for you. I’m sure they probably fit perfect on some feet, but they didn’t work out on mine.

Great, tricky to get toes in…

Awesome, grip really well, comfortable… however, if you’re in a rush getting your toes in may be a little tricky. The other women at my Pilates class have cut off the toes… not sure if I wanna do that just yet!

Toe sox review from L
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I wanted a cover for my feet in yoga and other exercise classes, and this one fit the bill. My only wish is that there were either bright fun colors, or something more approaching skin tone.

great

These Sox definitely make Pilates easier than trying to do the various exercises in regular socks that allow your feet to slip around and don’t provide toe separation. I also enjoy dancing and these work well for that too. What I like best is that my feet don’t get sweaty while wearing these.

THe sox are OK just don’t fit my feet. How can I return them to Amazon for a credit?

I love these socks!

I wasn’t comfortable being barefoot in my gym studio, but now I feel my feet are protected. I don’t slip. The socks wash beautifully.

work great for yoga anywhere

These socks are comfortable and I can do yoga with or without a mat on any surface. The grip is good and I like the toe separation.

Don't bother

I practice mostly hot yoga. Imagine sitting in a 94 degree room with 40% humidity and doing yoga. The last thing you want to have on your body is unnecessary clothing, including these socks. I much more recommend purchasing a yoga mat towel that has the same sticky studs on the bottom to prevent slippage.

I only wear these socks around the house, instead of slippers. That's all they're good for. At least they're not completely worthless.

Toe-riffic!!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been doing yoga for some time and I have always had to use a pad or just be on the carpet for the entire session. I was always slipping and sliding even on the mat. Then I saw these socks and thought they would be perfect and to my amazement they were!!! I would recommend them to anyone rather than the costly mat. Hey, you might quit doing yoga and then you have a cumbersome mat to store away, but with the socks you can wear them around the house anytime. At first, you may have trouble getting used to the socks between your toes. I know I did, but it won’t be long before you get used to it. In all, I highly recommend these socks and will probably buy several more pairs for backup.
