Secure in every hold.
No sliding. No resets.
Description +
The Studio Performance Skin Closed Sole is the premium grip system made for barre and Pilates, replacing traditional studio socks for thousands of practitioners. Full contact 360° grip across the entire underfoot, not silicone dots like a grip sock, for consistent traction every transition, every pose.
Skin safe. No latex. No silicone. Wash with warm soapy water and dry in seconds.
Closed Sole covers the entire bottom of the foot, heel included, and your toes stay fully exposed for natural toe splay, better balance, and a more stable grip. Both perform identically: same grip, same stability. Choice is preference and feel only.
Built for Reformer, Cadillac Reformer, Megaformer, Lagree, and mat Pilates, and great for yoga on or off the mat.

“Where have you been all my life? These grippy shoes have absolutely changed my Pilates practice. No slipping, no wasted time tugging on socks. For me going forward, it’s Barreletics or nothing.”
“I wish I hadn't put off buying these. They are durable and comfortable. My reformer practice has improved because they do not let you budge. I feel strong and stable in any position.”
“Makes me feel so much more secure during my pilates practice, socks tended to slip to the side. These are my second pair to put in rotation. Love them even if they are pricey.”
“I have thin, narrow feet. Most socks slip around during Pilates. These are perfect. Once you wear them, you'll never go back. Just wipe them down and wear them the next day.”

Tired of Pilates socks and yoga socks that slip?
Pilates socks, yoga socks, and barre grip socks fail at the dots. They peel, stretch, and force resets in chair pose and flat back chair. Barreletics Performance Skins are grippy shoes with 360° full-contact grip, not another disposable sock. Secure in Every Hold for barre, Pilates, yoga, Reformer, Megaformer, Lagree, and hot studios.
Are these good for reformer Pilates, Megaformer, Lagree & hot Pilates?
Yes. They're built for reformer, Cadillac reformer, Megaformer, Lagree, barre, and mat Pilates, and they stay put on the carriage and platform through side planks and lunges where grip socks slide. Many people love them for hot Pilates and hot yoga too. If you sweat a lot, try wearing a thin sock underneath.
How long do they actually last?
Like all footwear, how long a pair lasts depends on how and where you wear them. The grip is built into the sole, so it lasts as long as the shoe does.
How do I clean them?
Hand wash with warm soapy water. They dry in seconds. That's it.
What size should I order, and how should they fit?
Snug, like a second skin, with no break-in period. Start with your regular shoe size. If your foot is narrow or wide, that can change your size, so check the size guide first.
Closed Sole or Open Sole: which one?
Both perform identically with the same grip and stability. The difference is feel and coverage. Closed Sole: covers the entire bottom of the foot, heel included. Open Sole: open heel and a mid-foot vent for a true barefoot feel. Toes stay fully exposed on both for natural toe splay. Choice is preference and feel only.
Are they latex-free and silicone-free?
Yes. Skin safe. No latex. No silicone. Made in USA. Wash with warm soapy water and dry in seconds.
Grip shoes for Megaformer & Lagree fitness
Megaformer and Lagree demand lateral stability that grip socks can't give you. Performance Skins wrap the entire underfoot in one continuous grip, so you don't slip through lunges, pikes, and carriage work. Trusted by Lagree-certified instructors across North America.
Can I wear a sock with them?
Yes. Although they're designed to be worn barefoot, many of our customers wear a thin sock underneath. Some like their toes covered, some want extra warmth, and some sweat in a hot class. Your practice, your call.
Grip shoes vs Pilates socks and yoga socks: which is better?
Grip socks slip. When your feet aren't locked in, you can't fully commit to the pose, and you lose your focus. Barreletics have one continuous grip built into the sole, so you can go deeper, hold longer, and stay in it. Grip isn't optional.
