composition and care
composition and care
Composition: 83% GOTS-certified organic combed cotton, 16% recycled nylon, 1% elastane
Care instructions:
Be gentle. Either hand wash or machine wash in cold water on the gentle cycle. If using a machine, it's best to place them in a laundry bag to protect them further just like other delicates. Use a mild detergent and never use bleach. Refrain from using fabric softener.
Wash inside out. This way, the extra cushioning at the soles and heels will get a more thorough wash and the outer finish will be less subject to friction.
Do not use a dryer. The heat and circulation of a dryer will decrease the longevity of your socks. Best to air dry them on a drying rack.
Do not iron. There's no need to iron socks, and it's especially important to refrain from ironing those styles with silicone grippers.
sizing
sizing
hipSwan socks generally come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Where we offer only a single "one size fits most" it is the equivalent of medium.
hipSwan socks are suitable for men and women.
Sizes are based on the sock's foot length in centimetres, and are provided as a range due to socks having inherent elasticity.
For your convenience, the following chart maps our socks' length ranges onto approximate shoe sizes using US shoe size scales:

What if the socks I order don’t fit me?
No problem, you have 60 days to return them. Just pay the return postage and we’ll refund you, no questions asked. The socks must be in new, unworn condition with the original wrappers included. Full details of our return policy are here.

Quick fast to order.and arrive , likes the email to give tips on how best to wash and wear . Perfect fit , soft and give nice cushion wearing with my trainers and don't show above ankle ....what's not to love ❤️
These socks are perfect for yoga. They fit snuggly around your ankle and grip in all the right places to keep stable on a mat. I will be buying for pressies 💜
I teach pilates and have been testing the Hip Swan flow socks during my classes. They feel so supportive and comfortable and have plenty of width for moving my toes. I’ve recommended them to my clients and here are a few in class last week.
These socks are very thick and soft but never make my feet hot n sweaty. I love that when I wear them to Pilates I can spread my ten toes for better stability and balance as there is room around the toes. The grippers are enough to hold your feet in position but not too sticky to impede walking in the socks. I also wear them walking and the cushion around the heel really makes my boots more comfortable. I would really recommend them.
Grippy socks for pilates which give you confidence whilst doing a range of movement.
Saw these socks on Instagram and ordered them to give them a try. I’m wore them to my class this week (when it’s been SO cold) and they were perfect - super warm and non slip as well as being just a bit stylish! I’ve ordered pairs for several people for Christmas. Well done on a great product!
Gripper soles are perfect for Pilates!
Love them!
Perfect fit. Great grip.
I’m a big guy and am always sliding out of all the different socks. I bought a pair out of curiosity. This past weekend, i put them on before pilates and they were soft and quite comfortable. And for the first time, i did not slip out of my socks. The grips on the inside back of the heels kept me in my socks no matter how many planks I did on the reformer. I couldnt believe it! I went ahead and ordered a three pack that evening.. this is now going to be
My pilares socks.
Love these socks! The grip is insane and the heel grip adds some insurance from the sock slopping off. Great product!!
warm and padded nicely which is great for the winter months in Colorado
I was looking for quality socks to wear during Pilates and I found these. They perform as expected during my workout. The company is fantastic. If you have a problem, they resolve it quickly. I think they run a little large, but I’m very happy with the purchase.
These have plenty of grip and good cushion.
Moves around to much
Not a good grip
These socks stay put! No sliding at all while doing Pilates, very comfortable too!
Nice thick good quality
Very happy with the socks. Good quality and very comfortable. Excellent grip and keep your feet cool even when working hard
I initially loved these socks, particularly their thickness and warmth, but have found that they don’t last very well. Have had to throw away several pairs now because of holes in the heels. Very disappointing, particularly given the price.
Feel good, fit great and nice to know they are nontoxic
Very good quality, but almost impossible to get my trainers on unless the entire show is unlaced.
Socks arrived quickly, so customer service is great. They're really comfortable to wear and wash well too. I don't like having my feet out in public, but the thickness of the socks makes me feel a lot less self-conscious. I couldn't be happier.
I found these a bit on the large side and they slip and move around, despite my feet being the largest in the size range. I’m afraid I won’t be buying any more
Great stick
but as I was at the lower end of the size I really should have sized down - the grip is good but when I use them my feet slides around and they are too big -otherwise a nice well made sock.
Bought these to replace my very old Pilates shoes but I don’t like them. That’s just my personal preference and I am sure I am in the minority.
Lovely fit and great quality. Love the grip inside the back of the heel that I’ve not seen on other grippy socks.
Fit perfectly and don’t slide
Great quality and good grip. However, seemed rather large. I am a size 5 and ordered small. Quite wide and grip went just over the heel at the back. I think if you had smaller or more slender feet, you might find that they slip around on your feet. Certainly the small would fit a size 6 or even 7 easily
Great socks and a big difference in grip when doing reformer👍
I am a size 6 shoe but found the medium 6-8 too big.
I inquired about an exchange for the small size and was kindly sent a replacement and told to keep the originals which found a good home with a fellow yogi!
The grippers on the sole run all the way to the toes and the material is excellent quality.
Overall very pleased and would recommend.
