Review on Non-Slip Hospital Socks With Grips For Men, Women & Adults - RATIVE Anti Skid Slipper Socks. by Swami Alcaraz

I have been trying to find a good brand of non-skid socks to wear around the house, to prevent falls. My first try was RATIVE Barre Yoga Pilates Hospital Socks with grips. They were great at first, comfortable and with good traction. But each pair developed holes at the heels after a short time. I tried two other brands, and despite getting the largest size, found them to be way too tight, and returned them both. And my foot is not unusually large; I wear men's size 9.5 or 10 shoes. I had read many of the reviews. Some found the silicone "grippers" to be uncomfortable to walk on; I had not, on any of the brands I had worn thus far. Then I saw another model from RATIVE, "Non Skid Slipper Hospital Socks", on ebay.com, made of a different fabric. Hoping that they might be more durable, I ordered them. Two problems: (1) These were longer socks, not just anklets as the earlier ones I tried had been. Although the part around the foot was comfortable, the part around my ankle and lower leg was too tight. (2) The silicone "grippers" on these are larger and, I think, thicker, than those on any of the other non-skid socks I had tried, and I did find the ones on this model to be uncomfortable. As a sidelight, these are very thick, and would be uncomfortable in hot weather, though they might keep your feet toasty warm in the middle of the winter. So, sadly, I returned them. The search for comfortable, durable non-skid socks continues.
