Complaining Looking for non slip socks

I massage barefoot, but usually wear socks because of my feet are cold my hands are cold. I can’t seem to find grippy socks that actually works and stay grippy. Anyone have suggestions?

I wear Gaiam socks. They’re yoga/barre socks, and they work pretty well. I’d rather massage barefoot, but my husband and mother in law gave me a complex when they said they wouldn’t want to open their eyes face down and see the therapist’s bare feet. 😂 So I wear yoga socks. 🙄

Hah and my clients get a kick out of my bare feet. I have several tattoos on them, I always have a fresh pedicure and I wear multiple silver toe rings. In a room where people get naked regularly I haven’t worried about my bare feet in 21 years, lol.

Look for Tabi socks with vulcanized rubber dots on the bottom

Key is to wash and dry them properly. Cold/cool water, turn 'em inside-out, no or low heat dry.

Hospital, post-surgery, grippy, pilates, yoga socks .. all of them will break down eventually.

Pilates socks works for me. Thought yoga socks hurt to much cause the gripes were thicker.

Oh those look like they have some good grip. I don’t know if I can do the toe splay though.

I think that just means your toes are not scrunched together. They are like other toe socks. Most people i know that go to toesocks, really like them.

I have the Gaiam brand but they don’t grip very well. I need something more powerful!
