Yoga Socks vs Barreletics Performance Skin Grippy "Shoe" Sock

Barre, Pilates and other "in-studio" workouts require the same professional tools that other athletic sports require to maximize your performance and allow you to craft your skill. Using a sock will never provide the precision nor ability to achieve such goals. Footwear has been designed for every sport in the world so why not for "in-studio" workouts?

Barre Anywhere!

Barre focuses on the lower body and core and is used to develop flexibility and strength from the ankles to the abdominals. It stresses proper form and alignment to help develop the back and improve posture, but it doesn’t stop there! In every one hour class, the whole body and each muscle group is activated making barre one of the best workouts to experience. In the last several years the resurgence of barre has been undeniable, gaining worldwide attention not only in boutique studios, but in the pool as well.

Tired of slipping in your yoga socks?

I started taking barre a while back and found that every time I wore a yoga sock it was more of a nuisance than helpful. I spent more time adjusting my yoga socks, rather than losing myself in the practice.

Highly Devoted!

This pair is my second purchased - my first having been purchased almost 4 years ago. The reason for the second pair is purely color! I love blue but wanted to change it up from time to time. I must say these are truly valuable to my Pilates practice - I refuse to wear anything else - the security that is provided is unmatched. They are also durable and easy to clean. (Let me say the 'older ones' show no signs of wear). I am a former ballet dancer who is ultra picky with what is worn on my feet and these are perfect!. They are always noticed by others and I am always highly recommending. Thank you!!!

Best for Pilates!

I use these for Pilates and grip socks ARE useless compared to these shoes. They even help me with my balance! I have the dark and light grey and I wish they had a neutral skin color because I would buy those too! :)

Great quality and fit!

I was stunned by the quality of the yoga pants. Truly a luxurious fabric that is more substantial than other name brand pants I own by a long shot. They are almost silk-like soft, they do not pill from what I have seen thus far and are not sheer or see thru. I sized down as suggested and they fit perfect!

Barreletics for Yoga

I was a little skeptical at first. The moment I put them on, I knew I had made a great choice. I was worried that my feet would slip around inside the Barreletics, they do not. They are exactly what I wanted and needed. I also received a lot of great help with my questions on sizing. They feel great on my feet. Like nothing at all! Works for me.

Hesitated To Purchase; Why? I Was Wrong!

I looked at these Pilates shoes for over a year thinking “Way too expensive.” Well, I can't tell you how much I spent on Pilates socks that got ruined and stretched out of shape in no time. They never made me feel secure in my footage. Then as a birthday gift to myself, I got these. Game Changer. Great Support and Confidence say it all. Do not wait BUY THEM. Worth every penny!
