Many people believe that when doing Pilates, it is against tradition to wear socks. As it turns out, it is not tradition that stops people from wearing socks during Pilates, but the tendency to slip while wearing them. For all the sock lovers out there, there is a solution. Pilates socks are designed to be form fitting and non-slip. “Pilates socks provide the anti-bacterial protection of a sock, while providing the non-slip protection of a sneaker!” (crescentmoonyoga.com).

Pilates socks come in many different shapes, forms, colors, and textures. The Pilates socks industry has grown so much that it is now possible to find Pilates socks that are form fitting down to the exact size and dimension of your foot. Some companies sell brands of socks that are mitten like and engulf all of your toes, and some create socks that encompass each toe. Some Pilates socks only cover the arch, heel, and ball of the foot, allowing the toes to touch and grip the mat. When it comes to Pilates socks, the decision is up to you and what you like best. The important thing to remember is to find a nicely fitting, tight, sock so that you can practice Pilates safely. Price varies by company and style from as low as $10.00 to $40.00.
