Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between open-toe (half-toe) and full five-toe grip socks?
Open-toe (half-toe) grip socks leave the tips of the toes bare for direct floor tactile feedback in mat yoga and barre, whereas full five-toe grip socks enclose each toe with silicone dots for complete hygienic coverage on shared Reformer equipment.
What is the MOQ for custom five-toe and half-toe grip socks?
Our factory-direct MOQ is 50 pairs per size per design.
Sourcing custom open-toe (half-toe) vs. full five-toe grip socks directly from an experienced OEM factory allows five-toe & alignment studio socks to lock in verified yarn blends, precision cylinder gauges, and factory-direct unit pricing at factory-direct OEM pricing without middleman trading markups.
