I was dreading going back to Pilates after a spinal fusion because I felt like grip socks were not going to cut it. I had never found a pair of grip socks that wouldn’t slip a bit while doing bridges on the chair or reformer so I started looking for something that would help alleviate my fears. This seemed like the perfect option. Not only do they not skip, they’ve allowed for a more intuitive grip while bridging that has eliminated any hamstring pain I was experiencing before. It helped me really make a better connection with my feet and positioning across the board. I bought two pairs, so that if have a back up. I haven’t needed to use them because of the minimal wear and tear on the pair I wear regularly. It’s been 295 classes with one pair. That second pair? I’ve now started loaning them to people in my Pilates classes (I wash them of course!) and people have been amazed with the difference in connection of their bodies in class.
I deal with arthritis at the ball of both feet and these shoes are so helpful! Total game changer, I highly recommend for yoga and Pilates
Honestly this is the second pair I’m buying love them ssooo much got a lot of use out of it and I bought a third lasted me a year used it almost every day !
The Barrelectics footwear is a genius product,
which I appreciate for yoga classes and lounging at home. It combines minimalist aesthetics, vibrant colors and functionality.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have balance issues and these help keep my feet planted. I feel much more secure.
Nice fit and great floor grip!
Fantastic for my 7-8x/week Pilates and are always sticky (vs Pilates socks) and I love them for my workouts! Perfect!
At 68, I can do my Pilates and yoga with much more precision and control because I know I won’t slip.
As I was tired of the 'grippers' on my Pilates socks losing their grip during practice, a Pilates friend recommended barreletics. They were a game changer! No more sliding when working on the reformer or mat, or when using the TRX system. Love them and highly recommend!
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!!!
Love these for doing pikes on the Pilates chair!
The lagree shows are fantastic for reformer Pilates as well as mat Pilates and barre. No more concerns about slipping means better performance. Absolutely love them!
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! :)
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!
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.
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 bought these for BARRE class and really love them, but I’ve also use them for kayaking and being able to walk on our dock without slipping — love the quality and the fit! EASY ON / EASY OFF.
