grip socks

Non-slip athletic socks

Grip socks are socks with rubberized treads on the sole to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces.

They're standard issue at trampoline parks, barre studios, and hospital wards—anywhere bare feet might slide: The yoga studio requires grip socks on the reformers.

Also called sticky socks or non-slip socks.
