- +Organic cotton blend is soft, breathable, and holds its shape after dozens of washes
- +Low-cut ankle with a heel tab stays put through jumping and footwork on the reformer
Cons
- −Pricier per pair than most competitors, and colors sell out fast
Runner-up
ToeSox Bellarina Half Toe Grip Socks
The instructor favorite for reformer and barre, especially if you like your toes free.
Pros
- +Five-toe construction lets the toes spread naturally, which improves balance in relevés and standing work
- +Open toe gives bare-toe feel on the carriage while grip covers the ball of the foot and heel
- +Arch band and heel tab keep the sock from twisting during footwork
Cons
- −Individual toe pockets take practice to put on and feel odd for the first few wears
