When I started getting rather largely pregnant, I needed something to improve my grip while doing prenatal yoga. Because I live in Miami, Florida, and it's humid here all year 'round, mats do not work for yoga unless the space is heavily air conditioned. Even towels on mats do not work. The slippage and sliding is constant, and when you're pregnant, that's kinda unacceptable. Somewhere I stumbled across these things and they solved the problem for me. I still use these while practicing on a thick oriental rug.
Drawbacks:
- As other reviewers have mentioned, the way the material is knit the part between the toes can get tight and cut in uncomfortably when doing poses that move weight across the feet, like Triangle or Warrior. I also have slight webbing between my 2nd and 3rd toe, so that exacerbated the problem, but I snipped the very middle of the fabric there to accomodate my toes and that also solved the pressure problem.
- I primarily purchased these b/c DownDog is such an integral part of the various routines I follow(ed), and that's also when I was sliding the most b/c of the weight distribution. It didn't take long, however, for the nubbies on the big toe (my key grip in this position) to start to wear off. Fifteen bucks is a lot to pay just for big-toe nubbies.
Successes:
- The nubbies actually work. They helped me grip whatever surface I was practicing on. And unlike other brands, the nubbies cover the entire underside of the toe, not just the pad, and when my feet are flexed in DownDog I need that entire surface gripping for me.
- They're highly breathable and comfortable (once I snipped between the toes). My feet don't over heat. I forget I have them on.
So, while I wish the nubbies lasted longer, the fact that they do the job they're supposed to while they last will spur me to continue to purchase this brand.

"ToeSox Yoga-Pilates Toe Socks with Grips" Specifications
ToeSox are an innovative alternative to traditional athletic socks, which form to the contours of your foot while allowing each of your toes to separate. This separation gives your toes the toe wiggling freedom they deserve, as they separate naturally to increase flexibility and strengthen the muscles in the foot.

Foot alignment is essential in all disciplines, and ToeSox feature a horizontal stripe at the metatarsal head--a visual cue to proper foot alignment during reformer, cadillac, and mat workouts. Toe separation also both strengthens and stretches the muscles in your feet resulting in greater blood circulation and reducing the chances of injury. You can enhance your equilibrium in standing poses by spreading the toes and the ball of the standing foot. The broader your base, the more stable you are, and even the slightest widening of the sole of the foot is helpful.
Made from breathable organic cotton, ToeSox reduce moisture and friction between toes. The seamless design and fitted heel provide the best comfort and fit for your feet.
