ToeSox

 

Pilates Toe Socks

These toe socks do everything you need whether performing mat exercises or working on Pilates equipment.

Everything.  And we can’t tell you how many dancers and physical therapists call to thank us for making ToeSox because the sox are like rehab for their feet.  They love them. 

Pilates Instructor Carrie Macy

Let us start by saying that ToeSox increase your balance and more importantly, your control with our patented non-slip sole.  And Pilates is all about control.  In fact, Joseph Pilates originally gave his exercises the name of Contrology when he first started out.  He later wrote a book called Return to Life through Contrology.

No longer do you have to worry about slipping on the foot bar when you are doing exercises on the reformer.  Or falling off the cadillac or chair.  Now, with your Toe Sox, you have that added control.  And that’s what Joe Pilates wanted for you all along.

While you are practicing your Contrology with your ToeSox on, you also get the added bonus of being able to allow your toes to spread, naturally.  Most of us leave our toes so scrunched up in socks and shoes all day that they very much deserve this liberation.  Reawaken your feet.  Wiggle your toes and get that blood circulating.  Toe socks also help strengthen the muscles of your feet allowing for overall better balance and posture. 

Last but certainly not least, ToeSox feature a horizontal stripe at the metatarsal head which is a great visual cue to proper foot alignment during reformer, cadillac and mat workouts.  Your instructor will appreciate this.  It’s a quick way to check your foot alignment and readjust as needed. And our new striped collection has the same visual cues with the horizontal striping pattern on the foot.

Think about it - it’s like the Dial Soap commercial years ago.  Aren't you glad you wear ToeSox?  Don’t you wish everyone else did?  If everyone in the studio wore toe socks for their practice then your favorite clean Pilates studio would be even that much cleaner.  

And now ToeSox are made with 100% Organic Cotton to show our respect for our environment. Simply by going organic in what you wear, sleep on, wash and dry with, and what you consume, you can help replenish our planet and safeguard its future. 

So if you’re not sold yet, call us and we’ll answer any questions you might have.  We are Pilates practitioners ourselves and we are glad to help.

 

Equilibrium

"You can enhance your equilibrium (in standing poses) by spreading the toes and the ball of the standing foot.  The broader your base, the more stable you are, and even the slightest widening of the sole of the foot is surprisingly helpful."
