Spencer Pack of 3 Non-Slip Yoga Sock for Women, Anti-Skid Pilates Barre Socks with Grips & Straps for Ballet, Dance, Barefoot Workout, Fitness

Let me start with the packaging…they came in an envelope, and my 1st reaction was I bought another dud set of non-slip socks. Once I opened it, I found each pair separately packed on a cardboard foot. My curiosity was now peaked as I looked upon, these cute socks. I still did not get my hopes up that these are what I need. No time like the present to put a pair to the test, for fall prevention (I'm having knee surgery). I open the plastic protector envelope and slowly take that pair out, while gripping the cardboard foot, I immediately could feel how soft these socks are. I then inspected them, while still on the cardboard, one pair on top of the other, cute and pink, soft. I could see the non-slip material it felt thick, all I could think was I'm going to feel each of those bumps with every step I take. Feeling a bit deflated, I slide them on. I figured I would wear them, until they either hurt my feet, or I slipped…neither happened!! These socks, are absolutely adorable, the pictures don't do them justice. They look like a cute Mary Jane shoe, once on! These are light weight for anyone who is like me who finds socks uncomfortable. The cute strap across the top keep the sock in place, avoiding that uncomfortable feeling of the seam rubbing on the toes, or the sock moving. This was my 3rd purchase of a “non-slip” sock, the other 2 sock types went straight in the trash. I'm having knee surgery and with these non-slip bottoms, I have zero worries that I will fall. The non-slip bottoms grip my wooden floors, I tried several times and ways to see if I could get them to slip. Holding on to something and moving my foot in different positions, while trying to slide my foot and THEY STAYED TRUE TO NEVER SLIPPING!! There is 2 thin elastic straps that go across your foot keeping the sock in place. The straps are very secure and sewn into the hem of the sock. I have constant swelling in my injured leg, which causes my foot to be continually swollen. After wearing these from 10am-10pm removing before bed, the socks did not leave any indications on the top of my foot. The straps keep the sock in place, it does not move about your foot, causing that annoying sensation on your toes where the seam is. There was zero rubbing anywhere on my foot by this sock. These are actual socks with non-slip material on them. The non-slip material on the bottoms, I never felt while walking, standing to do dishes, running the vacuum, taking the dogs out and other household chores. In all honesty I actually forgot, I had them on unless I looked down while doing something. They wash up well. Although I didn't put them in the dryer, I was concerned that the non-slip material would get ruined. I left them air dry and it didn't take long for them to dry that way. I will be buying another set of 3, to place in Christmas baskets for family and friends. Will be purchasing again! Five STARS!
