5 reasons customers choose Flow by hipSwan

  • ✓ Serious sole grip — silicone grip dots help you feel steady on the reformer, mat and studio floor
  • ✓ Focus on your practice — less distraction from slipping, bunching or uncomfortable socks
  • ✓ Soft yet robust — organic combed cotton and fully cushioned footbed for a thicker, more comfortable sock feel
  • ✓ Support through movement — a gently supportive arch band promotes circulation and a secure fit
  • ✓ Fully fitted foot coverage — 3 sizes and a contoured fit helps you keep focus during demanding movements

Your Pilates, yoga or barre session might be the only hour in the day that is fully yours. Your socks should help you enjoy it — not distract you from it.

Flow Crew is our organic cotton crew grip sock, designed to help you feel steady, supported and comfortable through controlled movement.

Silicone grip dots across the sole help reduce sliding on the reformer, mat and studio floor, while the soft organic combed cotton knit feels substantial, breathable and comfortable without being bulky.

The crew height gives extra coverage and warmth around the ankle and lower leg, making Flow Crew a strong choice for Pilates, yoga, barre, stretching and post-class wear.

So instead of thinking about slipping, adjusting your socks or cold feet, you can focus on your form, your breath and the quality of your movement.

Highlights of Flow Crew's key features:

  • Higher crew length for added warmth & coverage
  • High-density silicone grip sole for extra traction and stability
  • Toxin-free GOTS certified organic combed cotton base for softness & breathability
  • Arch support band that gently hugs your foot
  • Fully cushioned footbed for better shock absorption
  • Seamless toes to eliminate irritation
  • 3 sizes for a better fit
  • Classic designs and colours suitable for men and women

composition and care

Composition: 78% GOTS-certified organic combed cotton, 13% recycled nylon, 5% recycled polyester, 4% 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

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.

Fewer distractions Focus on your practice, not on slipping or adjusting.
Soft. Supportive. Secure. Premium organic cotton comfort for your full session.

Why Flow costs more — and why that matters

Made for the session you look forward to

Basic grip socks can do the job for a class or two, but many feel thin, synthetic or distracting once you start moving.

Flow costs more because we put more into the details that matter during your practice: soft GOTS-certified organic combed cotton, silicone sole grips, supportive arch shaping, full foot coverage and a dense knit designed for repeat wear.

The result is a grip sock that helps you feel steady, comfortable and focused — so the hour you set aside for Pilates, yoga or barre feels better from start to finish.

We're sock obsessed!

Too thick and uncomfortable

These were way to thick and heavy for sports socks! Made me feel warmer than I should feel while working out

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It really helps future customers decide if hipSwan socks are right for them. We apologise that our Flow Crew grip socks were too thick and uncomfortable for your liking. We understand the importance of finding the right socks for working out and we do try to describe them accurately as having a fully cushioned footbed. If you would like to try a different style or have any unworn pairs that you would like to return for a full refund, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We want to make sure you have the best experience with our products.

Unfortunately not for me

These socks looked and felt to be a really quality item. I do at times have very swollen legs and these socks proved to be too tight for me. The return process as been very helpful and efficient. I will remain a loyal customer for other designs of sack that are amazing. Thank you.

They fit!!

I have big feet - size 8 - and any Pilates socks that claim to fit up to size 8 actually don’t which is so frustrating. But the large size in these socks is perfect - and the socks are also very warm and soft. Blooming expensive but worth the money

Long socks

So disappointed with these Pilates long socks. I have the trainer style which are amazing and that’s why I’m disappointed with these. They slip off my foot no gd heel grip and the leg is so tight I’m left with the Logo mark on my leg. Sadly an expensive disappointment.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our crew grip socks. We apologise for any disappointment you may have experienced with the fit. You can return any unworn/unused pairs for a full refund. Our sizing charts are available on every product page to ensure the perfect fit for each customer. Please note that we have different sizing recommendations for our crew socks compared to our ankle or no-show socks. From your description there may be a fit problem around the foot area but the top elastic would have roughly the same degree of elasticity around the calf. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future product improvements. Thank you again for your detailed comments. They help future customers determine if hipSwan socks are right for them.

Excellent socks

I contacted the company looking for slipper socks as I was having difficulty finding some that had no polyester / nylon in, these were recommended to me and they are excellent quality. Lovely and warm, grippy and just what I was looking for. I’m glad I got 2 pairs, excellent customer service too, thank you!

Crew Grip Socks Small

I have used my socks for Reformer Pilates and can’t believe how comfortable they are. I only have small feet and find most small grip socks are still too big but these were AMAZING. I’ll definitely be buying more of them.

Really comfortable and don’t slip!

These socks are great and don’t slip which is a major problem for longer socks.

Too big

Grip to mat not my feet,, the size small not small enough, ok for standing but not for teaching Pilates. They need a lot more elastic and be much smaller. I’m size 4 narrow feet. They look good but not for the purpose, I had to remove for downward dog.

Thank you for leaving a review for our grip socks. We apologize that the size small was not a perfect fit for your narrow feet. We understand the importance of a secure grip while practicing Pilates and we will definitely take your feedback into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Have a great day!

Great warm socks - but

These socjs are very good quality abd feel really comfortable on the feet. The grip is excellent. All good so far! However, I have very narrow feet. I went down a size in these socks as recommended. However, sadly my feet moved around in the socks nonetheless, so i wasn't stable in, for example, down dig or warrior pose. So I do recommend, but not necessarily if your feet are very narrow like mine. You would need to give them a try. They really are very good quality!

Grip socks crew

The grip is great, socks are lovely and soft but the fit is not as good as I thought as it twists around so the grips are “offset”, and having to keep straightening the socks. Unfortunately, for me the socks are not as snug on the feet as I’d like.

We're so glad you liked the socks and appreciate you taking the time to write a review.
Regarding the size, if you have any unworn pairs, you can return them, and we'll send you the size small instead. We think that would be a better fit for you.
Let me know if you need any help with the return process!

Great socks

Lovely material , nice and warm for the winter too. Good grips. Slightly large on the sizing, I have wide size 7’s and the 6-8 is a bit on the large size which is unusual for me. Hoping they will tighten up a bit after washing. Otherwise would recommend

These are fantastic socks with a good grip, support around your instep and a nice length. Please do them in more colours? It would be good to buy them in a few different ones.

not enough grip on the toes

Love the socks but when i am on my toes in Reformer Pilates class, there isnt enough grip on the toes.

Hi Jim, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad you love our grip socks, but we're sorry to hear that they aren't providing enough grip on your toes during your Reformer Pilates class. We'll make sure to take this into consideration for future improvements. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further concerns. Thank you for choosing our organic combed cotton grip socks!

Lovely warm socks

These socks were worth waiting for. My no shows left the ankles rather than chilly in the colder weather, these crew length socks are almost perfect for the colder weather. My only criticism is that the top band is rather tight on my legs, which are not large, and I would prefer a softer band.

Frequently asked questions

Is Flow good for Pilates?

Yes. Flow was designed for Pilates, reformer and mat work, with silicone sole grips to help you feel steadier through controlled movement. The soft organic cotton knit and supportive fit help you stay comfortable, so you can focus on your form rather than your socks.

Can I use Flow for yoga and barre too?

Yes. Flow is also well suited to yoga, barre, stretching and other low-impact studio movement where grip, comfort and focus matter.

What makes Flow different from ordinary grip socks?

Flow combines serious sole grip with soft organic combed cotton, supportive shaping and a more substantial sock feel. It is designed to feel comfortable and secure through your full session — not just add grip underfoot.

What is the difference between Flow Crew and Flow (Ankle)?

Flow Crew has a higher crew fit with more ankle and lower-leg coverage. Flow Ankle has a lower-cut ankle fit and includes internal silicone heel grips to help keep the sock in place around the heel.

Should I choose Flow Crew or Flow Ankle?

Choose Flow Crew if you prefer more coverage, warmth and a classic studio-sock feel. Choose Flow Ankle if you prefer a lighter, lower-cut fit with internal heel grips to help reduce slipping and bunching around the heel. You might like both, in fact, at different times of the year and under different studio conditions.

Will Flow Ankle stay on my heel?

Flow Ankle includes internal silicone heel grips designed to help reduce slipping and bunching around the heel. As with any lower-cut sock, choosing the right size gives the best fit.

Do the grips cover the whole sole?

Flow grip socks have silicone grip dots across the sole to help provide traction during movement on smooth indoor studio floors, mats and reformers.

Are these non-slip socks?

Flow is designed to provide better traction than ordinary socks on smooth indoor surfaces, but no sock can prevent every slip on every surface. Use extra care on wet, dusty or uneven floors.

Can I wear Flow grip socks with shoes?

Yes, but Flow is primarily designed for barefoot-style movement and smooth indoor surfaces. The silicone sole grips may feel noticeable inside tighter shoes. Having said that, some customers wear them inside shoes to increase traction in sports requiring quick shifting, like basketball, soccer and racquet sports.

How should I choose my size?

Choose your usual hipSwan size. If you are between sizes and want a snug studio fit, especially for Pilates or reformer work, consider sizing down.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold or warm with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying where possible to help protect the cotton fibres and silicone grips.
