Elliosa alternative — BOLD Dual Grip™ Pilates Socks.
Elliosa is a London brand, “designed by Pilates lovers,” with a broad design range and a combed cotton blend. Elliosa states its Dual-direction™ construction puts grip on both surfaces: the outer grip holds the sock to the floor while the interior grip keeps the foot from sliding inside the sock. BOLD takes the same inside-and-outside approach, designed by a Pilates and Lagree instructor, in a three-colorway line.

Frequently asked
Before you decide.
Does Elliosa have inside grip too?
Yes. Elliosa states that its Dual-direction™ construction places grip on both surfaces — the outer grip holds the sock to the floor, while the interior grip keeps the foot from sliding inside the sock. That is the same two-surface approach BOLD uses. The brands differ mainly in design language, sizing and range.
How is BOLD different from Elliosa?
Both put grip on two surfaces. BOLD is designed by a Pilates and Lagree instructor and keeps a single focused line; Elliosa is design-led with more than 60 designs from London.
What sizes does Elliosa come in?
Elliosa’s grip socks are sold without a size selection — every style is listed with a single “Adaptive Stretch Fit.” BOLD is also one size, fitting women’s US 5-10.
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.
