For all dance, ballet, barre and floor exercise styles such as pilates, organic cotton-rich ToeSox Plie Full Toe Open Foot Dance Ballet Socks are designed with a perfectly positioned real leather pad, creating superb traction for swift turns and stops, while at the same time protecting the vulnerable metatarsal head during impact-heavy movement like lands and relevés. A five-toe design allows toes to be protected, but move and spread almost as naturally as a bare foot, while a stylish and effective cut-out lets your feet breathe while still being protected from your yoga studio's floor. A fitted heel, with non-slip heel grip studs on the sole, permits you to use the proper footing during poses without inelegant skids.
