Gain The Edge Official you’ve ever been to a yoga studio, you’ve probably noticed the many pairs of grip socks in use. These socks, which are designed with rubber nubs on the bottom, keep your feet from slipping on the mat or the floor during your workout. Whether you’re looking for a pair to wear during high-intensity workouts, like boxing or HIIT, or are a beginner who wants more stability and support in your poses, the right socks can make all the difference.

The grippiest socks have the ideal balance of stylish aesthetic, soft and comfortable material, serious grip, and durability. Our top pick, the Tavi Noir Emma Non-Slip Socks, are crafted from organic cotton and feature dotted grips that cover your whole foot from heel to toe. The socks are also designed with individual cushioning for your left and right foot, so they fit like a glove without bunching or slipping during exercise.

Grippiest Socks for Every Sport: Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Activity

Another great option is the Gaiam Grippy Yoga Socks, which are designed with an open-toe design that gives you the feeling of being barefoot while adding some stability to your practice. The socks are woven with moisture-wicking yarn to keep your feet cool and dry during sweaty workouts.

For an at-home DIY project, you can add your own rubber grip elements to a regular pair of socks using fabric paint or rubber glue. The key is to be careful when applying the adhesive, so you don’t smudge or damage your socks. If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, Silvert’s Senior Care division offers these premium gripper socks made from soft polyester chenille. The socks are shaped to prevent slips, and the rubber grips are premium-made to provide more stability and comfort on any surface.
