Amazon.com Product Description
ToeSox are an innovative alternative to traditional athletic socks, which form to the contours of your foot while allowing each of your toes to separate. This separation gives your toes the toe wiggling freedom they deserve, as they separate naturally to increase flexibility and strengthen the muscles in the foot. Designed with a patent pending non-slip sole, form-fitting ToeSox for Yoga and Pilates provide a fantastic grip on any surface for maximum control and balance. This second skin provides a complete hygienic barrier between you and the mat or apparatus. Foot alignment is essential in all disciplines, and ToeSox feature a horizontal stripe at the metatarsal head--a visual cue to proper foot alignment during reformer, cadillac, and mat workouts. Toe separation also both strengthens and stretches the muscles in your feet resulting in greater blood circulation and reducing the chances of injury. You can enhance your equilibrium in standing poses by spreading the toes and the ball of the standing foot. The broader your base, the more stable you are, and even the slightest widening of the sole of the foot is helpful. Made from breathable organic cotton, ToeSox reduce moisture and friction between toes. The seamless design and fitted heel provide the best comfort and fit for your feet.

 Don't waste your money June 7, 2010
Outdoor mommy (Chattanooga, tn)
I was looking forward to carrying these on trips and not carry a mat. These socks slip too much and actually mess up my balance! Don't waste your $!
Look weird - feel great! May 25, 2010

These look so weird and also feel weird when you first put them on but they are so much fun. I love them for my yoga class, and sometimes wear them at night watching TV because the separation they give your toes is good for your feet overall. Try them... you'll become a fan too!
worth it April 24, 2010
E. Witcher (Miami, FL)
When I started getting rather largely pregnant, I needed something to improve my grip while doing prenatal yoga. Because I live in Miami, Florida, and it's humid here all year 'round, mats do not work for yoga unless the space is heavily air conditioned. Even towels on mats do not work. The slippage and sliding is constant, and when you're pregnant, that's kinda unacceptable. Somewhere I stumbled across these things and they solved the problem for me. I still use these while practicing on a thick oriental rug.
Drawbacks:
- As other reviewers have mentioned, the way the material is knit the part between the toes can get tight and cut in uncomfortably when doing poses that move weight across the feet, like Triangle or Warrior. I also have slight webbing between my 2nd and 3rd toe, so that exacerbated the problem, but I snipped the very middle of the fabric there to accomodate my toes and that also solved the pressure problem.
- I primarily purchased these b/c DownDog is such an integral part of the various routines I follow(ed), and that's also when I was sliding the most b/c of the weight distribution. It didn't take long, however, for the nubbies on the big toe (my key grip in this position) to start to wear off. Fifteen bucks is a lot to pay just for big-toe nubbies.
Successes:
- The nubbies actually work. They helped me grip whatever surface I was practicing on. And unlike other brands, the nubbies cover the entire underside of the toe, not just the pad, and when my feet are flexed in DownDog I need that entire surface gripping for me.
- They're highly breathable and comfortable (once I snipped between the toes). My feet don't over heat. I forget I have them on.
So, while I wish the nubbies lasted longer, the fact that they do the job they're supposed to while they last will spur me to continue to purchase this brand.
 Thin and weak April 14, 2010

I actually use these to get away with Vibram Five Finger shoes during PT in the Army, they get me in regulation. =D And they're super comfortable. A little thin and weak though.

Great idea, but poorly made. Material is thin and very restrictive. They seem to be sized for a very petite foot with long skeleton toes. The toes are tight, way too tight, and I bought both my "correct" size and a pair a size larger. I don't have fat feet, webs, or extra toes ;-), but I do have a wide footprint with short toes. The stiching doesn't "give" at all, there are seams at the toes, and they actually cut off circulation to the toes. Beware if you don't have "perfect" model's feet, or if foot care for a health issue like diabetes is a priority for you. I'm sure they probably fit perfect on some feet, but they didn't work out on mine.
