Grip with Confidence

Pilates socks

Pilates is about precision, control, and fluid movement. This control begins at the foundation – your feet. OMNANA Studio Socks are more than just an accessory; they're a performance tool that combines high-performance grip with a minimalist, modern studio style. Whether on the mat or the reformer, our Pilates socks give you the confidence and stability you need to deepen your practice and fully focus on your core.

Firm grip, full control: Why grip socks are indispensable in Pilates.

The question of whether to practice Pilates barefoot or in socks is crucial. Traditionally, Pilates, especially on the mat, is often performed barefoot to feel a direct connection to the floor. However, the requirements in modern studios have changed, making grip socks an essential companion for most Pilates enthusiasts.

There are two crucial reasons for this:

Safety & Performance: Slipping is a risk on smooth surfaces, whether it's a Pilates mat, the studio floor, or the Reformer's carriage. Anti-slip socks with special nubs on the soles provide reliable grip. They prevent slipping during exercises like the plank or when working the Reformer's pedals. This secure footing is essential for performing exercises precisely, with control, and without risk of injury.
Hygiene: In a studio environment where equipment and mats are used by many people, hygiene is a crucial factor. Pilates socks create a protective barrier between your feet and the equipment. They help minimize the spread of bacteria and ensure a fresh, clean feeling throughout your workout.

The OMNANA Studio Collection: Performance meets aesthetics

Our collection was developed to bridge the gap between pure functionality and modern design. We believe you shouldn't compromise – neither on support nor on style.

Maximum slip resistance: The technology of the anti-slip nubs

We use high-quality, strategically placed studs that guarantee optimal grip on all surfaces. Unlike inferior alternatives, our grips are durable and retain their function even after many washes. They offer security without causing uncomfortable pressure when the foot rolls.

Studio design & comfort: A barefoot-like feel with style

We know that feel is crucial in Pilates. Our socks with non-slip grips are designed to fit like a second skin, providing an almost barefoot feel. The minimalist, clean design integrates seamlessly into your activewear wardrobe and accentuates a modern, sophisticated balletcore look.

Materials and hygiene: A fresh feeling with every workout

An intense workout demands breathable materials. Our Pilates socks are made from a high-quality cotton blend (75% cotton) that not only feels incredibly soft against the skin but also effectively absorbs and manages moisture. The elastane content ensures a flexible, shape-retaining fit that won't slip – no matter how dynamic your movements are.

More than just Pilates: Your socks for yoga, barre and home

The versatility of our grip socks makes them the perfect all-rounder. Their reliable grip is invaluable not only for Pilates, but also as yoga socks for challenging asanas or intensive barre training . And even at home on smooth floors, our anti-slip socks offer comfort and safety in everyday life.
