We developed our own workout-based review process to really see how each grippy sock would fare in the wild.
After hours oftesting in a real-life barre class, these were the best grip socks we found.
No sliding, no slipping around.

We didnt notice the socks during an exercise class, which is the hallmark of the best grip socks.
Plus, they offer a nice soft hug feeling without being overly tight.
Thanks to the soft cotton-poly-nylon-elastane blend, our feet didnt feel overheated and the moisture wicked away.

We love how comfortable they are, while still being very grippy on all surfaces.
Grippy socks can sometimes sacrifice comfort for traction, but you definitely get both with these socks.
Our favorite thing about these grippy socks was how soft they were, and how much cushioning they provided.
Its worth noting that they do feel thick to the touch, but light and moisture-wicking on the foot.
We also wouldnt make any changes to these.
They were a very close second for our favorite overall grippy socks.
We love how comfortable, soft, and cushiony they are.
Wed wear them as regular socks without the grip.
Plus, theyre pretty absorbent.
We love how comfortable they are without sacrificing traction, which is great for a no-show style.
We loved that these socks held their shape throughout the workout.
In fact, they were still comfortable and added a boost of confidence that we wouldnt slip in class.
(Which we didnt!)
That being said, full toes are definitely an acquired sensationon the yoga mat.
It wasnt uncomfortable, but it could be slightly awkward if youre not accustomed to it.
With some getting used to, these have terrific grip.
These socks were super comfortable to wear during a dynamic workout class, providing excellent cushioning without feeling bulky.
We loved the fit, comfort, and moisture-wicking.
We also thought we might have to adjust them because of the strap design, but they fit well.
They were also very light and breathable.
You dont have to carry an extra pair of socks with you.
There are no uncomfortable seams or edges, and we didnt experience any heat or moisture-related discomfort.
Plus, the grip was super effective without being too sticky.
It wasnt a dealbreaker, but something to be mindful of.
Theyre also really easy to slip on thanks to a tab on the ankle to help pull them up.
One thing we noticed about these socks compared to the others we tested is that they arent as warm.
They hugged our feet perfectly without feeling too tight and felt even more breathable thanks to the open top.
We enjoyed the added straps around the top area to help add a layer of security.
They almost felt barefoot!
Theyre also great for cooler environments.

Shes also been doing Pilates for over a decade in grippy socks.
