Do these socks work to wear with shoes or do the gripper bottoms make getting shoes on difficult? hubby handicapped

I have not worn these with shoes. However-I ordered XL or XL but these socks do not even fit a real medium. XL should mean XL.

They work fine w/shoes & are as east as any other sock to put on. Gripper bottom is a little bumpy w/shoes on but not bad at all

These socks slide into shoes with most common insoles as long as the shoes are correct size and width for the wearer.

Socks very difficult to use with shoes. Seems better for use around house, to prevent skids. Works well in nursing homes for residents who are not very mobile.

You mean like a knitted sock bottom to some no-slip rubber soles, or something similar? It should, but make sure you use some sandpaper on anything with a very smooth surface. I was able to glue a slick piece of leather to some cotton fabric, but the first time I tried, they came apart because I hadn't sanded the leather properly to give it a good surface to adhere to (it was nearly glass-like with how slippery and smooth the surface was before I roughed it up).

The enclosed instructions specify that shoes should be worn while on the board. The bumps on its surface help to keep shoes from slipping. I have never slipped off. I would never try the board barefoot.

It's one size fits all. Sometimes with new socks it's difficult to use, you have to really stretch the mouth to get your foot to enter. After the socks are washed a few times, the elastic loosens up. Thanks and have a great day!

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.

I put on rubber gloves for traction but each time I go through some confusion about which direction to turn the top and bottom. At some point, it works. Ask the manufacturer, maybe they have the answer.

Yes. It works great regardless if you wear shoes or not. I do both (even at the office!)

not boots..but not bar either...cushioned stationary ankle grips for back of above ankle...and adjustable (in and out for tightness)cushioned ankle grips on front...it holds comfortably. directions suggest use with shoes, I always use it barefooted-It's okay for me like that, the intent being the inversion.

Yes they do have some grip, not a non-slip sandpaper level of grip, but I don't find that my feet slip off.

You can, but don't work as well as the adhesive HotHands foot insoles and toe warmers. Get the smaller HotHands hand warmers; work better than the larger Grabber hand warmers. Anything HotHands is excellent. Walmart is always out of them and cancel orders, so try Amazon or someplace else. There is usually typically free shipping on any order. I have to have them on hand for neuropathy that is irreversible.

They aren't too difficult to get on. I put them on like I would if they were panty hose; I bunch them up and start at the toe. I then pull the sock all the way up to my knee and adjust it if it seems a little crooked. I wear them everyday and it honestly takes me just a minute to put them on.

You can hold a good grip. The strap is also very helpful. Like I said in my review the smell of them is a total disadvantage. You literary have to wash them almost every other day. Such an inconvenience!!I would suggest looking at other options.

I drilled two holes into each foot rest about half-way down and threaded some long shoe laces through. After you Velcro your shoes in, tie the shoelaces over your shoes. I don't have the slipping issue anymore.

I don't see why not. They do have grips on bottom though so not sure that will create any issues. Great socks for Pilates or Yoga.

I have had no problems with them slipping. You might try wrapping something on the ankle under your weights to help hold them tighter.

No, there are no grips and yes, they are slippery on hard floors. I gave some to my 4.5 year old nephew and he loved them and learned to manage them on the hard floors, but only after a lot of practice and supervision. Also, he preferred to use them without shoes so he could grip with his toes.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps. Wayde
