Grip socks
Grip socks in South Africa for Pilates, gym and sport.
botthms grip socks have non-slip grip pads under the whole foot, so you stay planted on a reformer, a studio floor or a wet changing-room tile. One size fits UK 4–12. Singles cost R199 in six colours, or take three pairs for R499. Order before 14:00 on a weekday and they ship the same day, anywhere in South Africa.
By sport
One sock, four jobs.
Pilates, reformer and barre
Studios ask for grip socks for hygiene and so your feet hold on the footbar and carriage. Ours have grip pads across the whole sole, from toe to heel.
Rugby
Worn inside the boot, a grip sock stops the foot sliding forward on a scrum push or a hard step, so the boot and foot move as one. Wear your match socks over the top if your kit demands it.
Soccer
Players cut the feet out of team socks and wear a grip sock underneath for the same reason: less slip inside the boot when you plant and turn.
Gym and boxing
Barefoot lifters, boxers on canvas and anyone training on rubber gym floors get a stable base without shoes, plus a layer between your feet and shared mats.
How the grip works
Grip pads sit across the sole of the sock. They give friction on smooth surfaces such as wood, vinyl and reformer carriages, while the knit above stays soft and breathable so the sock moves with your foot.
Size and fit
One size covers UK 4 to 12. The knit stretches across the foot and around the ankle, so the pads stay underneath you instead of twisting to the side.
Combo maths
Three singles cost R597. A 3-pair combo is R499, so you save R98 and have a clean pair for every class of the week. Split it over up to 6 months, interest-free, with Stitch Pay Later.
