Best Grippy Shoes for Barre, Pilates & Yoga

How do I put on my grippy shoes? Pull from the top of the foot, not the straps, to help extend their lifespan.

After class. When you wipe down your equipment, give your Barreletics a quick pass with the same wipe.

Cleaning. Hand wash with warm soapy water. They dry in seconds. That's it.

You have 30 days to return or exchange. Every pair also has a 90-day warranty against manufacturing defects. See our returns policy.

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.

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.

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.

Hand wash with warm soapy water. They dry in seconds. That's it.

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.

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.

Yes. Skin safe. No latex. No silicone. Made in USA. Wash with warm soapy water and dry in seconds.

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.

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 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.
