The Best Pilates Grip Socks for Reformer and Mat (2026)

Pointe Studio's full-grip socks were the only pair to earn perfect scores in Yahoo Health's 16-sock test, with excellent grip on both mat and reformer. Garage Gym Reviews also ranks Pointe Studio among its top picks.

• Grip: full sole, triangle pattern
• Material: cotton, nylon and spandex blend
• Sizes: women's S/M and M/L (up to about women's 10)

The main drawback is sizing: they run small and stop at about a women's 10. Pointe Studio says the socks stretch slightly and mold to your feet over time.

Tavi is the brand you'll most often see in reformer studios, and NBC Select named the Savvy its best overall. A studio owner they interviewed praised how snug and long-lasting the socks are. The triangle grip pattern covers the whole sole, which matters on a sliding carriage.

• Grip: full sole, triangle pattern
• Material: organic cotton blend
• Sizes: XS–XL for the low-rise Savvy. The Kai crew comes in fewer sizes.

Some reviewers with narrow heels say the low-rise Savvy can slip at the heel. If that sounds like you, consider a higher cut.

If you go to class several times a week, you'll want several pairs, and multipacks keep that affordable. Yahoo Health picked Ozaiic as its best budget option, with grip that's ready for reformer work.

• Grip: silicone in targeted zones
• Style: closed toe with ballet straps
• Sizes: one size (about women's 5.5–11)

The trade-offs: Yahoo found them less breathable, and Garage Gym Reviews noted that one-size fit doesn't suit everyone and the straps can loosen.

Gaiam's grippy socks are mostly polyester and spandex, so they wick sweat instead of soaking it up like cotton. That's why NBC Select recommends them for heated classes. The grip covers the whole bottom of the foot, and Garage Gym Reviews notes they're machine washable.

• Sizes: one size (women's 5–10, men's 4–9)
• Styles: criss-cross strap version and a toeless version

GGR found the toeless version hard to put on, with some pressure between the toes.

Bombas gets two things right: full-length grip that runs in lines rather than dots, and broad sizing (women's 4–13, men's 6–16). That makes it one of the easiest picks for men and anyone with larger feet. Yahoo Health found it the best performer on the reformer.

On the downside, Yahoo's tester found the criss-cross straps felt tight by the end of class and their feet moved a bit inside the sock during mat work. Garage Gym Reviews saw mixed reports on durability.

If you want to spread and grip with your toes, ToeSox separates each one. The half-toe version leaves the toe tips open. Yahoo Health found them comfortable with strong grip on the mat.

They're less suited to the reformer: the grip stops short of the heel, and Yahoo's tester slipped during moves like scooters. Also check your studio's rules first. NBC Select's experts advise against toeless styles for hygiene reasons.

Crew-length grip socks stay put during quick footwork and keep your ankles warm in cold studios. NBC Select highlighted the Fitness Snob crew for its extra cushioning and full grip coverage, which an editor said keeps her stable when standing on the reformer.

Lucky Honey is the grip sock for people who want their socks to look good in class. The Harlow is a quarter-length, one-size sock (80% cotton) with a full honeycomb grip. An instructor quoted by NBC Select likes how well it grips and how it conforms to the foot.

Lucky Honey sells mainly through its own site, and Amazon listings are limited.
