Namaste my kindred spirits, I'm “flow” the gripper sock. I’ll help your inner light shine through with my advanced features designed for performance and comfort.

Here’s why you should take me home with you:

  • My silicone sole and heel grippers will give you superior traction not only for Pilates, barre, tai chi or yoga, but in sports like tennis or badminton where a firm grip is desirable. I'm even great on slippery floors.
  • My compression arch further enhances your support and fit.
  • I’m made with luxurious organic combed cotton (GOTS certified) and stitched with a high-gauge needle count, which makes me even softer and longer lasting.
  • And as with all my other hipSwan friends, you’ll be supporting the planting of one tree for every order.

Regarding sizing, I come in three sizes (small, medium, large). Sizing is based on my length in centimetres and I've created a handy chart that maps my lengths onto approximate shoe sizes.

Keep in mind that you might want to size down if you're at the margin, if you desire a tighter fit for activities like Pilates, barre or yoga. If you’ve any doubts about whether I'll fit you can return me within 60 days and just pay the return postage.

Composition: 75% GOTS-certified organic combed cotton, 5% nylon, 20% lycra spandex, 100% silicone grippers

Care instructions:

Be gentle. Either hand wash or machine wash in cold water on the gentle cycle. If using a machine, it's best to place them in a laundry bag to protect them further just like other delicates. Use a mild detergent and never use bleach. Refrain from using fabric softener.

Turn your socks inside out. This way, the extra cushioning at the soles and heels will get a more thorough wash.

Do not use a dryer. The heat and circulation of a dryer will decrease the longevity of your socks. Best to air dry them on a drying rack.

Do not iron. There's no need to iron socks, and it's especially important to refrain from ironing those styles with silicone grippers (flow and chill).

hipSwan socks are available in three sizes (small, medium, large). Their inherent elasticity allows them to fit a wide range of feet and are not gender specific.

For additional guidance, the following chart presents the approximate shoe sizes that our socks are likely to fit (for Pilates, barre and similar activities, we recommend that you size down if your shoe size is at the margin).

What if the socks don’t fit me? No problem, you have 60 days to return them. Just pay the return postage and we'll refund you, no questions asked. The socks must be in new, unworn condition with the outer wrappers included.

hipSwan are a purpose-driven brand with sustainability at our core. Our guiding philosophy is: "how would we operate if our customers were our family and friends?" Here are some of the ways that our principles have translated into practices:

  • We have visited our manufacturing partners and screened them for safe employee working conditions and adherence to good governance practices
  • We only use organically grown high quality fibers
  • We use minimal, recycled packaging materials and non-toxic ink
  • We limit our production runs to minimise our environmental footprint

Snug but thick.

Lovely socks but sadly too thick for Pilates, which is what I bought them for.
They will be well used as slipper socks.
Please make some thinner gripper socks for Pilates.

Hi JDee, thanks so much for your feedback. I guess it's a matter of personal preference as to the degree of cushioning. We'll look at how we can make it clearer in our product descriptions that our Flow gripper socks feature luxury cushioning on the soles and at the heels. We've had a couple of other customers request us to create a thinner version and we're looking at that too.

Fab socks!

I had reviewed these socks a couple of years ago as I had bought them for my daughters. They are both uk size 7. I had suggested a small, medium and large size option for the future as my feet are a size 8+. I feel in general that a size 4-7 or 3-8 is too big a size difference. A size 3 foot is tiny and a size 8+ foot is huge! Then recently I got an email from hip swan to say that they had listened to me and were doing different sizes. I obviously had to send for a large pair in black! They came and fit me just perfectly. Thank you very much hip swan.

Super socks

I bought these socks as I read that grip socks can help when wearing walking shoes/boots. After researching reviews I chose these. I enjoy walking but have problems with my feet and toes and these socks make walking so much more comfortable. They are nicely snug around the arch and keep my feet warm and help movement during my Pilates class. I have already ordered more pairs.

Great Fit

The new medium size works well on my 6.5 feet and I find the socks give good grip whilst being warm in the cooler weather.

Very pleased with flow Pilates socks. Good fit, comfortable and supplied by a very good company of real people. Such a refreshing change... Had a little problem with our order, our fault, but was rectified quickly with no fuss.

Best Socks Ever!

I cannot fault any part of buying these fabulous socks, easy ordering, they arrived quickly (with minimal packaging, yay!) and I love them. High quality, comfortable and perfect for padding around wooden floors as well as my daily yoga practice. Bought the 3 pack to share with my daughters who are equally delighted, thank you!!
