Reformer pilates grip socks, made to hold.
A reformer moves under you, and your feet spend the class in the straps, on the footbar and pressed into the carriage. Most UK reformer studios now ask for grip socks for exactly that reason. Curve's geometric grip holds in both directions, so you stay put through the footwork instead of gripping to stay still.
Designed for the reformer carriage
Reformer pilates puts your feet in places mat work never does: on the carriage, in the straps, against the footbar. Curve MCR reformer pilates socks use a geometric grip that holds in more than one direction, which matches how reformer footwork actually moves. The knit is a thicker, extra-yarn construction, typical for grip socks at this price, and it helps them keep their shape through repeat washing.
Curve is female-founded and designed in Manchester, knitted in a breathable cotton-rich blend. Whether you're new to reformer or you're in the studio every week, these are the socks we built for ourselves first.

Reformer pilates socks FAQ
Why do you need grip socks for reformer pilates?
Most UK reformer studios require grip socks for hygiene and safety. The grip stops your feet sliding on the carriage and in the footstraps so you can focus on alignment rather than balance.
What are the best socks for reformer pilates?
Look for a grip pattern that holds in more than one direction, a snug knitted cuff that won't roll, and a breathable cotton-rich fibre. Curve MCR reformer pilates socks are designed in Manchester with all three in mind.
Can I wear reformer socks for mat pilates and barre?
Yes. The same geometric grip that holds on the carriage also holds on a mat or barre floor. One pair covers your whole studio week.
Will reformer pilates socks fit inside the foot straps?
Yes. Curve MCR socks are knitted with a low-bulk grip so they slide into reformer straps comfortably.
