GripSox Non-slip Safety Socks
Non-slip socks can help reduce the risk of slips and falls, making them ideal for people with balance and stability issues. The key feature of GripSox® is the anti-slip rubberised sole to help with the gripping on variable floor surfaces, equipment and mats.
By keeping the grip between the floor and the foot firm, GripSox can give people confidence when walking across smooth surfaces, improving their autonomy and independence. The safety socks are made from a combination of cotton and elastane, so they are breathable and able to stretch over compression bandages, stockings and swollen feet. GripSox are available in red or black in 3 sizes. It is recommended you purchase at least two pairs of non-stick socks so one pair can be washed whilst the other is being worn. You can purchase GripSox online or visit us in store in Port Macquarie, Forster or Taree.
How to Wear Non-Slip Socks
These socks are different to the socks you would usually wear, so they should not be treated like a normal pair of socks. Here are some guidelines for the correct usage of non-slip socks:
- Snug Fit: The socks should still be comfortable, but it’s important they are tight enough to make sure they are not loose around the ankles and the rubber tread remains in place
- Aligned Tread: The rubber grip must be aligned with the sole of the foot so that some part of it remains connected to the ground throughout the stepping action
- Indoor Shoes: Think of these socks as indoor shoes, they should not be worn with other footwear as this would defeat the purpose of the rubber tread, and they should not be worn outside as this would damage them
GripSox can be worn over compression bandages and stockings, which is ideal as bandages and stockings can sometimes enhance the risk of slips and falls. Non-slip socks may put people with a shuffling gait at higher risk of falling when walking over some types of flooring.
