Thanks to Arebesk for sending these grip socks in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own. |
After a few years of at- home workouts, I recently developed the budget and the passion to set foot into a work-out studio again. Finding Pilates and barre workouts in the on-demand system I use inspired me to check out a few different boutique gyms in our area, as they are plentiful.
I've been to a few Pure Barre classes and learned that a decent pair of grip socks is mandatory for class. I already had some socks from a previous grip, but I quickly discovered that their "grippiness" has worn out after a couple of years of use and washing.
I found out about Arebesk and immediately jumped on the chance to try out their grip socks designed specifically for Pilates, Barre, Yoga, and Dance. As a mom-owned business, Arebesk was created to help women and moms workout by having stylish and functional grip socks.
Arebesk is the first grip sock to have two half circle silicone patches on the ball and heel of the foot for extra cushion and traction, as well as an extra silicone tab inside the heel of the sock to secure fit. Arebesk also pioneered the patent pending, easy-to-carry, mesh drawstring wash bag sold with every pair of Arebesk grip socks.
The name Arebesk pays homage to the “arabesque,” a standard ballet step where the body is supported on one leg, with the other leg sweeps backwards. This move is also used in Pilates and other movement based workouts. Arebesk's triangular logo also emulates the ‘V' shape of the 'teaser' move in classic Pilates form.
I was sent three different pairs of socks to check out:
- MOTO CLOSED TOE GRIP SOCK-in Burgundy
- CLASSIC WOMEN'S CREW GRIP SOCK-in Pink
- VIBE CREW GRIP SOCK-in Blue
Arebesk offers a few different styles including crew, ankle, and open toe. I find that I personally need slightly longer grip socks as sometimes ankles roll down during class. That could also be from ill-fitting socks as well. There is a silicone tab INSIDE the sock, near the ankle, that should help them stay up and prevent chafing too.
These socks are incredibly comfortable, and I am pleasantly surprised at how they stay up while I'm working out (or perhaps even roaming around the house. When I wear socks on my LVP laminate, I often slip and slide, which can be detrimental to my knees on occasion!).
I find that they maintain a good grip, especially if your heel and toe pads are centered where they are supposed to be on your feet. The Grip pads will help you keep your traction when doing various floor exercises and keep you from skidding off into oblivion, too.
I highly recommend that you check out Arebesk Grip Socks if you or a loved one is involved in workouts like Pilates or barre. These are perfect for those mandatory gym classes but also for at home too! Great stocking stuffers, and it's not like "oh, it's just socks" this Christmas. This is a really thoughtful gift if you know that your friends or loved one is passionate about workouts utilizing grip socks!
