When searching for the best pair of yoga, barre, or Pilates grip socks, there are a few key factors to keep in mind:

• Breathability
• Durability
• Traction
• Aesthetic

In this post, we go over why you should replace those sticky yoga socks you bought on Amazon with a pair of high-performance Pedestals.

What To Look For

In the past, you’ve probably purchased socks from your local sporting goods store hoping they’d offer the performance you need when squatting or training. What you likely found is that these so-called “workout socks” were no different than your average gym sock. You’re better off going barefoot. That’s where Pedestal Footwear comes in – high quality exercise grip socks made specifically with yoga, Pilates, and more in mind. Whatever the workout is, you can do it better in our grip socks.

Where to buy grip socks

If you’re looking for the highest quality option, we recommend buying grip socks online here at Pedestal Footwear. Regardless, the best place to buy grip socks or sticky socks is definitely online. There’s a plethora of options available and they typically come with free shipping. This can sometimes present a problem, however, because online you will find everything from cheap grip socks that rip after 3 wears to to high performance, athletic compression or workout-specific socks. Lucky for you, Pedestals are perfect for it ALL.

How to wash grip socks

If you’re concerned about how to wash your grip socks, you shouldn’t be. Pedestals come complete with a silver bacteria & odor-killing liner. This means you can rock them a few times at the gym before they even get noticeably dirty or smelly.

How to wear grip socks

Wear them just like you would any other sock. However, we don’t recommend wearing Pedestals with shoes. That kind of defeats the purpose.

How Grip Socks Can Change Your Workout

At Pedestal Footwear, we believe that proper training starts from the ground up. Your feet are an extremely important part of your overall balance and stability and they’re often the most ignored aspect of your workout. We understand that yoga is all about movement quality and balance from the ground up. We also understand and appreciate how important the feet are to the rest of the body.

Grip socks offer supreme traction without the clunky annoyance of shoes – no matter what style of workout you prefer. They come with a silver treatment lining that will kill bacteria and odors for up to 50 wash cycles. They’re also extremely durable, made for both men & women, and they’ll IMPROVE YOUR WORKOUT.

What are the best socks for Pilates and yoga?

Wearing a pair of Pilates socks can change your workout. As you flow and transition through your yoga practice, it is important to have socks that can keep up. Whether you decide to use a yoga mat, carpet, or you’re on a hard surface – you need stability under your feet, and you want to stay clean. That’s why we recommend socks over shoes for Pilates. Here’s 3 quick reasons you’ll love our grip socks for yoga or Pilates:

• Extreme durability
• Unique hex-grip design allows you to hold your position.

What Is Pilates?

Pilates is great for low-impact strength training. It’s a solid way to build up your core and keep your body healthy. While Pilates is a “low-impact” form of exercise, it is definitely still strenuous. In a core Pilates class, you’ll work muscles you never knew you had! The beauty of Pilates is that you don’t need much equipment, but it helps to wear the right attire. Learn more about what you should wear to Pilates class.
