Frequently asked
Before you decide.
How is BOLD different from Alo grip socks?
Alo describes its Pulse sock as having “bottom grips” with terry cushioning at the toe and heel, in a yoga-led lifestyle design. BOLD puts silicone inside the footbed as well as on the sole, and is designed specifically around Pilates and Lagree.
Are Alo grip socks good for Pilates?
Yes, plenty of people wear them for Pilates and barre. They are cushioned and well made. The difference with BOLD is the inside grip and the Pilates and Lagree focus.
Which has more cushioning?
Alo’s Pulse sock has terry-cushioned toes and heels. BOLD uses a thinner combed-cotton knit designed to keep the foot close to the surface.
Does BOLD work for Lagree?
Yes. BOLD was developed by a Pilates and Lagree instructor and worn in reformer and Lagree classes through its development.
What if I don’t like BOLD?
Unworn pairs can be returned within 30 days of delivery.
