Non-slip socks have added grip to prevent slipping and reduce the risk of injury. They are popular for toddlers, yoga practitioners, and even dogs. Some types also improve circulation and are made from durable materials.

Made for all ages, non-slip socks are those that have added grip to their bottom. The grip is usually made of a rubbery substance, which is either slightly sticky to the touch or a bit rough to ensure that those who use them do not slip. Non-slip socks come in socks as well as a lighter traditional sock that can be worn with shoes.

The non-slip tread of a non-slip sock improves traction. This type of sock reduces the chance of injury when navigating slippery areas. Hospitals will often provide their patients with these types of socks to help ensure that the possibility of injury is avoided. Some types of these non-slip socks, along with their treated undersurface, are made to ensure good circulation for the wearer. The material these socks are made of is a thick, durable and stretchy combination of nylon and spandex.

Non-slip socks are especially popular for toddlers and young children. These non-slip socks help ensure that little ones who are learning to walk do not fall when walking on a slippery surface, such as a tile floor. Non-slip children’s socks come in different thicknesses. Some are almost thick enough that you can wear them on a clean, dry walkway. Other non-slip children’s socks are thin enough that new walker shoes can easily slip on.

Those who participate in yoga often choose to wear a non-slip sock during class. Socks not only aid in secure footing, but also help keep yoga mats fresh from foot odor. Non-slip yoga socks are often made from a lightweight, breathable fabric. This type of fabric keeps the foot cool and dry.

To ensure the safety and warmth of a pet, there are non-slip dog socks. These non-slip socks are made from a knitted cotton blend. They have a cinch at the opening to make sure they stay on the dog’s feet. Wearing these socks can help senior dogs whose balance is no longer secure or who suffer from arthritic conditions. Their use is also suggested for those dogs recovering from a foot or leg injury, as they can prevent that area from being exposed. While these socks help dogs with mobility issues, they also help protect hardwood floors from dog nails, which can scratch and damage the patina of the floor’s surface.
