Collection: ScrunchComing Soon

A pair of dedicated grippy socks is recommended for all Pilates sessions. They are specifically designed for your classes and feature a strong, non-slip sole to stop you sliding, particularly on smooth surfaces, like a reformer carriage or mat.

When choosing your socks, you should have a look for:

• Anti-slip sole: The pattern must be robust and strategically cover the foot's main pressure points for optimal traction
• Material: A breathable, moisture-wicking fabric is best to keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the session
• Fit: Loose-fitting socks can shift, compromising grip and safety, so a snug, second-skin fit is your best bet
• Toe vs non-toe: You can either go for the enhanced security of individual toe pockets or the simplicity of a standard sock shape
• Comfort: They should have a soft feel and be non-irritating, particularly in the heel and ankle areas
• Durability: You’ll be washing your socks quite a lot so they must be able to be washed frequently while keeping their grip strength over time.
• Studio policy: Check that your studio doesn’t require you to have a specific design, such as a full-toe sock for hygiene standards.

Yes, most socks feature an arch compression band which helps lift the middle of your foot. This stops foot fatigue and gives you a more secure fit that won’t twist during your workout.

If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the smallest size for maximum stability.

Absolutely, while yoga is traditionally practiced barefoot, pilates socks are great for extra support, warmth, hygiene or Yin Yoga.

Yes, but to keep the grips sticky they need a little extra love. Turn your socks inside out, wash on a cold, gentle cycle and leave them to air dry as high heat can make the rubber brittle over time.

Quality Pilates socks that give you decent wear and support your workouts cost around £12 - £18 on average. New arrivals and specially designed lines may cost more.

Whether you’re at the gym or at home, pilates socks are essential clothing. The best way to save on your socks is to buy in the sale. That way, you’re not compromising on quality (which can affect the wear you get from your grippy socks) but you are getting the best price, especially compared to new designs. Look out for final reduction sale days and credit to get your socks cheaper.
