The cushy socks we didn’t know we needed

Grippy socks are great for many things: treading carefully around homes with slippery floors, low-impact workouts, and any time it’s essential to stay steady on your feet, like after surgery. 

‌

But unlike the scratchy, floppy, bunch-around-your-ankle pairs you get at the hospital, we’ve found some that are actually cozy and stylish. Senior editor Catherine Kast has spent the last few months wearing several of Bombas’ gripper styles, including a luxurious slipper-like merino-wool-blend. She’s been especially surprised at how sleek the ankle version looks worn around the house with leggings or a flowy nightgown.

Also, the four-pack makes for effortless giftability. Says Catherine: “Keep a pair for yourself and divvy the rest up for grandparents, co-workers, and whoever else on your list could stand to spiff up their at-home wardrobe.”
