How much do sneakers grip dancing? We tested it!

🟡 Onesock Productions Inc, the makers of the original dance socks, did an independent study at USC Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab in Los Angeles to measure the grip of different sneakers with and without The DanceSocks.

🟡 The study essentially proved that The DanceSocks turn sneakers into dance shoes. The traction level with The DanceSocks over any sneaker matched or was better than a leather soled Capezio character dance shoe.

🟡 We tested dance sneakers with spin spots. They were as grippy as running shoes.  Spin spots on sneakers did not provide any improvement for dancing.

    I started using dance socks 3 or 4 years ago. I had had an orthopedic surgeon tell me I needed a knee replacement. I use sleeves to protect my knees and I don’t have any problems with my knees! Thanks dance socks!
