Get a Grip: The Ultimate Guide to Gripperz Non-Slip Socks
One brand, ten styles, a rainbow of colours — and one very serious job: keeping feet planted firmly on the floor. From falls prevention to Pilates, here's how to find your perfect pair of Gripperz grip socks.
One sock family. Ten funky styles. Zero slips.
Thousands of tiny silicone grip dots, a rainbow of colourways and one very serious job: keeping feet planted firmly on the floor — at home, in hospital, or mid-lunge on the reformer.
Every year, falls send more Australians over 65 to hospital than any other kind of injury — and a huge share of them happen at home, on hard, smooth floors, in ordinary socks. At the other end of the spectrum, studio floors have a habit of humbling anyone who's ever tried a lunge in bare cotton socks. The fix for both is the same beautifully simple idea: a sock with grippy silicone dots on the sole.
Gripperz have turned that idea into a full family of non-slip socks — anklets, crews, knee highs, toe socks, compression, wool, even sparkle-mesh ballet styles — all built around the same dotted tread. Below we break down the whole range so you can match the right sock to the right feet.

Sizing & care: four quick tips
📏 Size to your shoe sizeEach product page has a size chart based on Australian shoe sizes. Between sizes? Go up — a relaxed fit is more comfortable and the grip dots still land where they should.
🧺 Wash cold, skip the softenerMachine wash cold and line dry. Fabric softener and hot dryers are the enemies of silicone grip dots.
🔄 Rotate a few pairsGrip socks work hard. A three-pair rotation keeps the tread fresh and means there's always a clean pair by the bed.
👀 Check the dots now and thenIf the dots have worn smooth after months of loyal service, it's time to retire that pair to "couch duty" and grab a new set.
Grip sock FAQs
Do grip socks actually help prevent falls?
They're a proven part of a falls-prevention plan. Silicone grip dots dramatically increase traction on hard, smooth floors — tiles, timber and vinyl — which is why hospitals and aged care facilities across Australia issue non-slip socks as standard. They work best alongside good lighting, clear walkways and appropriate mobility aids.
Which Gripperz socks are safe for people with diabetes?
The Circulation and Maxi Hospital styles are designed diabetic safe, with soft, non-binding tops that don't restrict blood flow. If graduated pressure has been recommended for you, the Compression style combines that with a non-slip sole.
What's better for Pilates — toe socks or crew socks?
Both grip equally well. Toe socks give you individual toe spread for a more barefoot feel, which many barre and Pilates devotees love. The Sports Crew gives more coverage and warmth. It genuinely comes down to preference — plenty of people keep both in the kit bag.
How should grip socks fit?
Snug but never tight. The sole's grip dots should sit flat under your foot without stretching. Check the size chart on each product page against your Australian shoe size, and size up if you're on the boundary.
Can I wear grip socks inside shoes?
Absolutely — that's exactly what the Knee High style is designed for. The grip dots stop your foot sliding inside soccer and footy boots, and they're a comfortable, stay-put layer under AFOs and leg braces.
