The most minimal of their range of five-toe dance socks, these ToeSox Releve Full Toe Open Foot Dance Ballet Socks cover only the front half of the foot, for added protection and traction while allowing as much skin contact with the floor as possible. The socks have leather pads at each foot’s metatarsal head that cushions against impact, and provides superior traction for turns and stops. The more natural five toe design of these organic cotton socks lets the feet move and spread as they would barefoot, activating muscles and increasing blood circulation, promoting proper alignment of the bones.
