Treads vs. Pedestal 5.0: Choosing the Right Grip Socks

On the hunt for the perfect pair of grip socks to power your workout? Look no further than the latest offering from Pedestal: the all-new treads. These waterproof socks bring your shoe-free workout to the great outdoors, where you can protect your feet while training on everything from turf to cement.

Treads vs 5.0's


There's a lot to love about the Treads, but before you add to your grip sock collection, it's important to understand all that sets these outdoor training socks apart. To help, we've compiled a Treads vs Pedestal 5.0 guide, highlighting the main features worth considering as you choose your preferred grip sock design.

Treads Have Soles


The Treads function wonderfully as outdoor training socks because they're equipped with rubber soles. Treads keep you stable on many different types of surfaces but are also far lighter than sneakers. If you spend a lot of time training outside, these are the grip socks for you. They can also work nicely as you make the transition between training shoes and socks.

5.0's Are Lighter


The removal of the grip socks' sole may limit their outside functionality, but it also allows for a lighter design that many people will find enticing. The no-sole versions of the Pedestal socks (including 4.0, 5.0, and Minimal collection) all weigh approximately 0.25 pounds, so you'll barely notice when you're wearing them. At one pound, the Treads are heavier — but they still bring you far closer to barefoot training than your typical outdoor footwear.

Treads Are Waterproof


These waterproof socks can be used for a variety of activities in the great outdoors, where you may require more protection than our standard Pedestal socks provide.

5.0's Utilize A Hex-Grip Design


Adding a sole isn't prudent for every person or every situation. As such, the 4.0 & 5.0 are still great options when you prefer to remain indoors. These models do away with the sole from our outdoor training sock, and instead, rely on non-slip hex-grip designs to keep you feeling stable and confident as you train inside. Don't worry about durability; Pedestal 5.0 socks can still hold up to tough indoor surfaces, as they are reinforced at the toe and heel.

Crush Any Workout with Pedestal Grip Socks


As you hunt for grip socks to level up your training session, think carefully about where you'll use them — and for which activities. Browse our many Pedestal collections, and you'll quickly find that we offer something for everyone.
