Frequently asked
Before you decide.
Are Lucky Honey grip socks better than BOLD?
Lucky Honey makes design-led grip socks with hexagonal outside grip and a cotton-Coolmax blend, at $16-$18. BOLD Dual Grip socks add silicone inside the footbed, are designed by a working Pilates instructor, and carry a 380-wash-cycle rating plus 30-day returns, a different tier of performance focus.
What's the difference between BOLD's Dual Grip™ and Lucky Honey's hex grip?
Lucky Honey's hexagonal silicone covers the outside sole only. BOLD's Dual Grip™ adds a second silicone layer inside the sock, holding your foot in place during lunges and carriage transitions, the slide outside grip can't prevent.
Is BOLD worth $25 vs Lucky Honey's $16-$18?
BOLD costs more and publishes why: dual silicone grip, 82% combed cotton, 380 tested wash cycles, a 30-day return guarantee, and 30-day returns. If you ride the megaformer weekly, durability per wear favors the quantified sock.
Does BOLD work for Lagree?
Yes. BOLD Dual Grip socks were developed in Pilates and Lagree studios and tested on reformer carriages and Megaformers across 10+ studios over a year of development.
What if I don't like BOLD?
Every pair carries a 30-day return guarantee, and unworn pairs can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If the grip doesn't hold for you, you get your money back.
