5 Reasons Why Pilates Instructors Are Raving About hipSwan Grip Socks
Designed in collaboration with Pilates teachers, hipSwan helps to elevate your Pilates performance with grip socks knitted with sustainable, best-in-category yarns combined with the latest "sock tech" features.
Read on to discover the Top 5 reasons these demanding Pilates "power users" favour hipSwan grip socks.
1. Ultrasoft yet durable
The GOTS-certified organic combed cotton base yarn gives our grip socks a luxuriously soft feel. But soft does not mean delicate: hipSwan socks are knitted with a fine 168N needle count, which enhances their smoothness and durability.
"These socks feel super soft. They give you a snug, supportive feel during your workout."
- Hannah S., London
2. Energy-boosting arch support
The targeted arch support band hugs your foot and provides a contoured fit which helps keep the socks in place and also enhances circulation, giving you a subtle energy boost.
"Best I’ve worn, lovely and thick and hard wearing as I’m in them all day teaching. Stay put around the arch of the foot brilliantly!
- Marina C., York
3. Anti-slip internal heel grips
The ankle version of hipSwan's grip socks features three silicone strips that help to keep the socks in place during challenging movements.
"This thing inside which I have never come across is a gripper inside the heel of the sock which is absolutely fantastic and just makes it extra extra slip free. The stability is just fantastic."
- Tilly H, Oxfordshire
4. Best in class sole grips
hipSwan's sole grips are pure silicone and their coverage extends throughout the sole.
"Such a game changer. So comfortable - the compression band hugs the arches. Absolutely love them for everyday use and working out on my mat."
- Ashlea M., London
5. Anti-blister cushioning
Full cushioning at the toes, soles and heel for better shock absorption and all-day comfort. Perfect to wear outside the studio too, such as at home on on bare floors.
"I use gripper socks all the time to teach reformer classes. hipSwan's grippers are thicker than the others and it feels very comfortable. Very soft and good quality fabric and I like the feature at the back that envelops the ankle."
- Vanessa R., London
6. One order = one tree
Because hipSwan always seeks to over-deliver, a 6th reason is that your purchase will fund the planting of 1 tree. To date, the hipSwan "company forest" being grown in cooperation with TreeSisters, a UK based global charity, has reached over 25,000 trees.
