Frequently Asked Questions

Why are IDA ACTIVE grip socks better than regular socks?  Our grip socks are specially designed with traction pads on the sole to enhance grip and stability during workouts. Unlike regular socks, they prevent slipping on smooth surfaces, making them ideal for pilates, reformer, barre, yoga, weight training and fitness activities.
Why do I need grip socks? Grip socks provide essential traction, superior grip, stability, and support, reducing the risk of slips and injuries during exercises that involve movements on mats or floors. They enhance your performance, effectiveness and confidence, allowing you to focus on your workout without distractions.
Are grip socks suitable for all types of workouts? While grip socks are primarily designed for reformer pilates, barre, yoga, and fitness routines, they can also be beneficial for other activities that require traction and stability, such as dance, trampolining, running, weight training and martial arts. 
Can I wear grip socks with shoes?

Grip socks are designed to be worn without footwear to maximise traction and grip on surfaces. Wearing them with shoes may reduce their effectiveness.
