Build Your Own Grip Sock

Six independent variables, one tech pack. Tell us what matters — price point, performance or sustainability — and we will engineer around it.

Options

Six Variables You Control

Yarn & material

Combed cotton, organic cotton (GOTS), bamboo viscose, merino blend, recycled polyester (GRS) or performance poly-spandex. Yarn count from 21s to 40s, terry or single knit.

Size & fit

From newborn to adult XXL. EU, US, UK and Asian size charts, wide-calf cuts, non-binding diabetic tops, and left/right anatomical shaping.

Colour

Pantone TCX matching with lab dips for approval. Solid, heather, melange, tie-dye, striped and jacquard multicolour work — up to 6 colours per sock.

Grip pattern

Choose from our pattern library or send artwork for a bespoke silicone screen. Density, dot diameter and durometer are tuned to your end use.

Branding

Jacquard knit logo, silicone logo printed into the sole, woven label, printed care label, embroidery on cuff, or heat-transfer on the instep.

Packaging

Bulk polybag, recyclable OPP with header card, kraft box, FSC retail carton, or Amazon-ready packaging with barcode and FNSKU labelling.

Grip pattern library

Stock Silicone Grip Patterns

The layouts the market reorders most. Take one as it is, or use it as a starting point — every layout can be rescaled, rotated, re-coloured or redrawn, and a brand-new mould can be cut from your own artwork — USD 50 for a PVC screen, USD 100 for a silicone screen, refunded on orders above 500 pairs.

Dot Grid

The studio standard — even grip, breathable, and printable on any yarn base.

Made to order

Sole Grip Is Fully Customisable

Everything in the library is only a starting point. The silicone on the sole can be developed from scratch: shape and logo, layout, colour, thickness, hardness and coverage are all specified per programme.

Logo & artwork

Send a vector file (AI, PDF, SVG) — or just a photo or sketch. Our mould shop redraws it as a printable silicone screen and keeps it exclusive to your brand.

Pattern & layout

Any layout can be rescaled, rotated, mirrored or mixed — different patterns on forefoot and heel, borders, negative-space logos or grip only where you need it.

Colour

Transparent, white, black or Pantone-matched silicone. Two-tone printing, glow-in-the-dark and glitter compounds available for kids and retail lines.

Thickness & hardness

Print height from 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm and 30–60 Shore A durometer, tuned to floor type, user weight and how much cushioning you want underfoot.

Coverage area

Full sole, forefoot only, heel + forefoot or a small heel patch. Coverage drives both the grip level and the unit cost, so we quote the options side by side.

Material & compliance

Two grip compounds to choose from: food-grade silicone and phthalate-free PVC. Silicone is softer and lasts longer in the wash; PVC is firmer, holds sharp pattern edges and suits tighter price points. OEKO-TEX, CPSIA and REACH documentation per lot.
