The Grip Sock provides a sense of security and improves foot grip indoors on various floor surfaces, both during the day and at night. The Grip Sock reduces the fear of slipping and provides freedom for independent movement. You can wear the Grip sock over a regular sock, a merino wool sock, or even over woollen socks.
Traction over woollen or merino wool socks
Woollen and merino wool socks can be slippery when walking indoors on various floor surfaces. In situations of standing up and moving indoors, Grip Socks prevent slipping and provide safety when wearing woollen socks. You can wear Grip Socks over woollen socks and remove them along with the Grip Socks.
Moving in bed
People who spend a lot of time in bed benefit from actively using Grip socks. A regular sock can slip against the bedsheet or duvet, making movement in bed more challenging. Grip socks are worn by rolling them over a regular sock, thus facilitating movement in bed with additional traction.
Standing up from sitting
Getting up from bed or a chair involves slipping. When getting up, the centre of gravity shifts, and the combination of the floor surface and slippery socks can be challenging. Grip Socks provide confidence and better foot grip on the floor when getting up. Grip Socks provide safety and independence when getting up from seated position.
Moving around in shower areas
When moving in shower and pool areas, the floor surface can become slippery due to water and soap. When moving on wet floor surfaces, The Grip Sock is worn by rolling it onto bare foot, and the friction material of the Grip sock provides good grip and safety for moving on wet floors.
Moving around the pool areas
When moving in pool areas, the floor or the surface of the pool/tub can become slippery due to the combination of water and detergent soap.
The surface of the tub is also slippery even if only water is added. The Grip Sock is worn by rolling it onto bare foot, and the friction material of the Grip sock provides good grip and safety for moving on wet floors. The Grip Sock also works well on holidays, on potentially slippery pool decks.
Wheelchair access
Access to a wheelchair typically occurs when moving from bed or chair. It is important to consider the floor surface and the type of socks worn on feet during the transfer to wheelchair. To facilitate the transfer and increase safety, Grip Socks are a useful and easy tool. With Grip Socks on, foot grip on the floor is ensured, thus enabling safe transfers independently or with assistance from another person.
Wheelchair reeling
When reeling wheelchair with hands, it’s possible to use one foot to aid reeling. Grip Socks are worn by rolling them over a regular or woollen sock, thus reducing the need for hand force and improving the handling of the wheelchair.
