Sock it to your workout
Sneakers can be bulky when doing yoga, pilates and other exercise programs involving floor work. But bare feet can get cold and dirty and most socks just make you slide. Crescent Moon offers a solution to yoga and other exercise fanatics with ExerSocks.
ExerSocks are 90 percent cotton and 10 percent nylon. They have a non-slip sole for grip, which is also cushioned and reinforced for a comfortable and snug fit. They also have a padded cuff to make them easy to wear with sneakers. The heel and toe are also reinforced for durability.
We decided to put ExerSocks to the true test - by wearing them! At home, they provided padding when doing floor and ball exercises. When working with the ball, you usually have to wear sneakers so you don't slip, but the sock proved better, as they not only provided grip, they added control, as you could more easily use your toes to help you balance.
In the dance studio, ExerSocks kept our feet from sticking to the floor, as well as getting cold. They worked well through just about every move except for one type of backward turn. In most cases, the grip actually offers an advantage, as it would have helped to keep you from falling after making such a "misstep".
The final test was to take a morning walk wearing ExerSocks. They fit surprisingly nicely in our sneakers and offered more cushion than regular socks. We noted that our feet felt great after our trot through the neighborhood.
ExerSocks definitely met their claims and more - throughout all of the exercises, they kept our feet at a comfortable temperature. Best of all, they're perfect for lounging because you don't have to search for slippers every time you get up.
ExerSocks are available in medium and large in white, oatmeal, gray and black.
