GripSox Black Socks are non-slip anklet socks designed in Melbourne for everyday wear on the smooth floors found in homes, hospitals and aged care residences. The sole carries thick rubberised grip dots rather than padding, which keeps the foot in contact with the floor while holding on surfaces such as vinyl, tiles and exercise mats. The knit is 95 per cent cotton with 5 per cent elastane and is latex free, with a seamless toe and a fitted heel that stops the sock rotating around the foot during walking. They can be worn on their own or pulled over anti-embolism stockings. Four sizes cover approximate foot lengths of 18 cm, 22 cm, 24 cm and 26 cm, with the three larger sizes matched to shoe size ranges of 2 to 8, 6 to 11 and 11 to 14.

Ordinary socks and worn slippers slide on hard indoor flooring, and these place a grippy sole underfoot without the bulk of cushioning, so foot feel and balance are preserved while walking or transferring. The grip dots are made to survive repeated high-temperature laundering, which matters where washing is done in bulk, and the cotton knit keeps the sock comfortable enough for all-day wear.
