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!
I taught a class in these today and loved them, the padding is perfect and not bulky but I would love an XS option!
I was looking for a "good" pair of Pilates socks and came across what I thought was a ridiculously priced alternative. I sat on the idea for a couple of weeks but finally decided to take the plunge. I did sign up for an account for a 10% discount but I still held my breath until they arrived. After my first class my reaction was: absolutely worth it.
I am a full time Barre instructor and teach on a variety of surfaces and mats - these provide the perfect level of grip and support and fit like a glove! YES! Finally a good durable barre shoe!
I cannot tolerate toe socks, and I needed something that makes me feel safe on the reformer. It has to be something I can wear that allows my toes to splay, doesn't but doesn't have to be replaced all the time, like grippy socks. These silicone sandal/shoes are perfect. The entire sole grips, and feels very secure when I work out. They clean easily with soap and water, and feel like they will last a good long while. The only downside is they are harder to put on and take off but the straps can be adjusted to fit around the shape of the foot. They are pricey, but I have easily spent over $100 on grippy socks at my studio, so in the long run, it's worth it. Yep. Buy them.
I use these for my pilates workout and everyone loves them. They do not slip or stretch out of shape like the socks.
I'll admit I was skeptical spending so much on a pair of "socks", however these were so worth it in the end. These grip the floor in class while doing lunges and side planks that you're not budging. In the usual half toe socks I'd wear, you'd get a toe wedgie and/or start sliding which does not help with stability in class. I can't wait until the black comes back in stock on my size. These are worth the price for all the grip socks I've replaced for losing grip or just not being the right fit/style I needed. And these look super cute on your feet! Another person in class already complimented how cute they were!
I saw a person in my Pilates class wearing these and I was curious. After looking them up, I'll admit I was skeptical paying so much for "socks". After a little justification on my head (I've likely spent that much or more on grip socks as I explored which type I liked better and the grips just wearing out), I decided to give these a go. There's a little learning curve wearing them for the first time, however you get used to them. The biggest thing was being used to sliding my foot in socks vs these grip so well you need to pick up your for and move it on the footbar or have your strap in the right place for feet in straps. These are so secure there's no sliding or tie wedgies doing lunges. My side planks, I'm not moving! And these clean up just with a rinse! These are definitely worth the purchase. I can't wait for the black to come back in stock in my size.
I love these, and bought them for wearing them in stores to basically be barefoot and it works perfectly, thanks!!! ☺️
I i put anti slippers on all my shoes but still slide. These are the only shoes I can walk a few steps with without slipping at all. Genius
I LOVE these grippy water shoes, they're just as described. Comfy, easy to wash, they hug my feet through dance movements. Our bellydance troupe has been trying to find flattering open-toe dance shoes for an upcoming outdoor performance that don't detract from our costumes like ballet slippers or jazz shoes, or heeled ballroom shoes) ... we needed something that mimics the traditional barefoot bellydance experience we're used to while protecting the ball and heel. These do the trick! While grippy indoors for yoga, they allow easy spins on concrete outdoors...though of course we don't expect them to withstand too much rough usage like this. If barreletics could combine the rubbery uppers with a reinforced suede (or equivalent non-grip material) on the ball & sole you could corner the market on ****, unique 'barefoot' dance shoes for both indoor & outdoor performances! Fun note, I was even able to make them a shimmery bronze with Rub & Buff metallic wax to match our costumes!!
I was constantly buying Pilates socks and they constantly lost grip to the point I would fall off the foot bar. These shoes are amazing and have a great grip and I feel secure when using the reformer.
The ideal pilates shoe! Great for grip and maintaining balance on the reformer. I love them!
I have to say my bridging on the Pilates reformer has improved remarkably with the barreletics foot wear! It took a couple classes to get use to the fit but the grip is incredible! I ordered a large per recommendation which work well but I think a medium may work better. Love them!
I have spent years with gripper socks that slip in plank, chair and a variety of other positions. These do NOT slip ever! Now I can concentrate on my workout not my socks!
I love how these look and feel. They’ve made my beach yoga sessions so much more enjoyable.
I have a size 5.5 narrow foot, customer service was great when I was trying to figure out what size to order. The colors matter when it comes to sizing.
I found these to have great grip and they fit well enough. I was nervous about my feet sweating while I was working out, but that did not happen. Based on the suggestion, I ordered the large( 8 with. Wide foot), but I think I could have gotten away with a medium. Will order a medium next. Thank you!
Perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking. They’re lightweight, dry quickly, and look great!
These are the right amount of stickiness for a pilates workout. You feel like you can get into the correct position and not worry about a sock slipping.
These are fabulous for Pilates when you can’t go barefoot. So much less slippy than grippy or toe socks. Comfortable, easy to clean, and they help you feel safe during advanced moves. I bought these on a classmate’s recommendation - she said hers have lasted almost 2 years with regular use, and mine feel equally high quality.
My love hate relationship with the sock has finally come to a ceremonial end!!! The vast improvement during the first minute of barre class, with my new barreletics performance skin shoes, is beyond words. It's as if i was climbing a mountain barefoot and stumbled upon a new invention called a hiking boot. My practice is now all about how much I am willing to put into my workout and not fixing a sock the entire class that does nothing anyway...
Hello. The top is perfect and couldn't ask for a better value. It's top quality and feels super transparent and airy. It wicks great and washes without pilling. I highly recommend..
I was surprised how nice the shirt was when it arrived. It's super comfy during class, wicking moisture. I wanted something super light- the material and cut makes the shirt unnoticeable. Compared to other brands I purchased, its a far cheaper hidden gem.
Both my barre and Pilates class took a 360. It’s crazy how the lack of good footwear has been non existent. The improvement of my workout is astounding on multiple levels without wasting time and money wearing socks. Not only the cost of the sock, the cost of time lost in class and the measurable waste of athletic energy without grip, support and balance. I am 100% hooked!!
