About Us

Welcome to the fun & functional world of Gripperz non-slip socksI

Our journey began in December 2008 with a noble vision - to provide top-quality non-slip socks to Pilates enthusiasts across Australia. Founded by Exercise Physiologist Rafael Merino (who’s been running his own boutique fitness studio in Melbourne since 2006), our socks started out as Pilates essentials but quickly grew into so much more, thanks to the passion and leadership of our Director, Nadia, who makes sure everything runs smoothly - from product quality to customer service. From our humble beginnings as a Pilates socks producer, we have grown to be the market leader in socks for falls prevention. And yet, when you reach out to us, you’ll always get a real person on the other end, ready to help with honest and friendly support.

We take quality and ethics seriously. Our socks are designed right here in Australia and crafted in Taiwan and China, where our carefully chosen manufacturers offer fair wages and ethical working conditions. Plus, our vinyl reformer straps are proudly made in Melbourne. We work closely with our manufacturers to guarantee that every pair of Gripperz socks meets our high standards, so you can step with confidence.

At the heart of it all, our mission is simple: to keep you safe, steady, and supported with reliable grip for your feet. Your feedback helps us grow, and we’re always working on new ways to bring you the best in falls prevention and everyday comfort.

So, whether you're flowing through a Pilates class or looking for extra stability in your daily routine, we’ve got you covered. We'll do our best to ensure your every step is secure and assured.
