ToesoxHalf Toe Ankle Grip Socks, Black and Grey, Now With New Spring/Summer Collection 2019

I always use these for Booty Barre and Pilates class - these make such a huge difference and massively improve my grip. I find the sizing is a little on the snug side, but with stretch. Personally, I would not recommend sizing up, unless you are on the bigger side of your shoe size (ie I am a size 4 - 4.5 and Small is the correct size for me). The only downside of these is that the pads do wear off quite quickly, especially if you use them regularly. They wash well too (although, I'm sure this doesn't help with the pads wearing off). I need to replace mine every 6 months or so - usually the sock part is fine, but the pads are gone.One thing that I would like to point out (and make sure you are aware of this before you buy) is that the size guide is in American sizes.X Small : 3 - 5.5 US (1 - 3.5 UK)Small : 6 - 8 US (4 - 6 UK)Medium : 8.5 - 10.5 US (7.5 - 8.5 UK)Large : 11 - 13 US (9 - 12 UK)

I thought toeless socks would be cool. I was wrong. As soon as I put them on and stepped onto my mat (bought for added grip) I realised that a lot of my grip comes from my toes, and since the socks I bought had no toes, they didn't help at all.I've given them 4 stars, however, because they ARE well made, they DO fit well, they ARE comfortable, it was just my stupid decision to buy toe-less socks that ruined it, which made me knock off a star because it's lead me to wonder why they make them without toes at all.

Very good, but can make the feet a bit sweaty if it's hot weather! Also, the manufacturer could be a lot clearer on their sizing in their ads, which just say small, medium, large. I nearly ordered the wrong size until I saw comments from other buyers, which guided me to the right size. However, when they arrived, the toe sox did have the size in numbers.

I love Les Mills Balance, yoga, tai chi & pilates but suffer from cramp quite a lot. I thought these would help keep my feet warm without squeezing my toes like yoga shoes.They were even better than I thought. They fit perfectly (I'm a size 5/38) and they have slight elastication around the centre of the foot like a sport sock so they stay in place perfectly. They spread the toes a little giving you a good stance in a class and have great grip on the ball of your foot making you downward dog a doddle!!So far - no cramp!! Love them - planning to buy more!!

Bought these for Pilates matwork partly to keep the toes apart and hence have a broader base but chiefly to stop feet slipping when doing moves such as Downward Dog and Plank (esp Side Plank). They work well and the non-slip "suckers" last a long time (my last pair were in use for 2 years and were still effective when I lost them). They are slightly awkward to put on but that's only to be expected given the need to push toes through the individual holes.

I thought these looked good for yoga, but really they are no different from other cheap 'sticky backed' socks you can buy for a quid or two from any department store (cut the toes off if you want). The toe ends aren't properly finished so it's not easy to get your toes into the holes without catching. The quality of the material isn't great, either - there is really nothing to set them apart from very much cheaper products so they are over-priced for what they are. Another thing I found is the concept doesn't actually work since the sticky back causes the toe part to pull back…very uncomfortable between the toes! I wouldn't use them for yoga. All in all, they are nothing more than sticky socks with the toes cut out.

These are absolutely perfect for yoga, pilates or any floor based activity where you need a bit more grip. Comfortable to wear, really help me stay on my feet and avoid slippage. Probably going to order some more!!

Overall quite good, if a little small for the size, but one of the toe holes was unravelling when they arrived. Fortunately a couple of stitches prevented any further damage.
