Grippy socks, minus the novelty.
Most grippy socks are a handful of rubber dots under the toes, fine for a trampoline park, not so much for a reformer class. Curve grippy socks use a geometric full-sole grip that holds in both directions, so they stay put through planks, lunges and footwork, not only when you press straight down.
What makes a Curve grippy sock
Curve MCR grippy socks are built around a geometric grip pattern that holds in more than one direction. That's the point: pilates, barre and yoga rarely move in a single straight line, so the grip needs to work sideways and diagonally as well as pushing down. The knit is a thicker, extra-yarn construction, which is typical for grip socks at this price and helps them keep their shape through repeat washing.
We knit them in a breathable cotton-rich blend so your feet don't overheat in a hot studio, and we finish them with a ribbed cuff that stays put. They're named after the drinks you'd order after class, Oat Latte, Cappuccino, Cocoa, and they're the grippy socks we built for ourselves first.
