Have you ever been wandering around the house when you’ve accidentally slipped over on a shiny surface, or pulled a craft yoga pose only for your feet to come out from under you on the mat?

We’ve probably all been there at one stage or another, which is why slip-free ‘’grip socks’’ have become all the rage in recent times.

One of the leading new brands in this area is alvy, which specialises in Premium Grip Socks for pilates, yoga or ballet at the barre.

The socks are made from top quality, breathable cotton and feature built-in compression arch support to enhance stability, safety and performance while exercising – but they’re also great to wear around the house, especially if you have ‘’slippy’’ surfaces at home such as floorboards or tiling.

Currently, new customers can get a 10% discount on any product and save an additional 45% with alvy bundle-and-save offers, which includes Australia-wide shipping.

The socks have a generous number of grips on the sole to provide traction on any surface.

Available in low rise or crew styles, they feature wrap-around ribbing and a high-stretch cuff, 360-degree arch compression to lift and cradle feet, reinforced fabric on toes and heels and moisture-absorbing fabric that helps keep feet dry and fresh.

Because of their grip quality, the socks are also popular with those undergoing mobility rehabilitation.
