YogaPaws SkinThin Non-Slip Yoga Gloves and Socks - Perfect for Women and Men Doing Yoga, Hot Yoga, Crossfit, Cycling, and for Sweaty Hands and Feet

Jo: After trying several different yoga mats and finding that it was actually my hands and feet that are slippery, rather than the mats, I bought these in an attempt to get my limbs to stay where I wanted them to during yoga (although, accidentally discovering I could do the splits at 42 WAS kinda fun!!).
Fit - I measured and ordered according to the chart, both hands and feet fit really well.
Comfort - not the greatest unfortunately. The gloves feel very unnatural on my hands. I think the palm is just a bit too wide and a bit too long to feel like a second skin. Definitely not horribly uncomfortable though.
The feet are a lot more comfortable. Whilst fairly tight, they are well elasticated, so my feet receice a nice hug! Although I was expecting them to roll on my feet, they actually stay put pretty well!
Grip - oh my word, the grip is outstanding! Even in downward dog, where my hands would always be sliding away from me, these gloves didn't let my hands budge even the slightest bit. They have absolutely exceeded my expectations in this regard.

I do wonder whether the hands would be better as an actual fitted glove, rather than a 'hand pad', and if yogapaws ever...

Amazon Customer: Great fit, really helped stop hands slipping on my mat.

carol r todd: Purchased as a gift. Used to keep hands and feet clean when doing yoga poses.

Rebecca: These have changed my practice completely. I have hyperhidrosis in my hands and feet and no matter what I did I would be sliding all over the place, especially in downward dog which was virtually impossible before Yogapaws. They give me extra grip so I can focus on getting the moves right, not trying to keep my hands and feet from slipping.

Amazon Customer: I've used Yogapaws before, but forgot how much I have to stretch them in. With my wide feet it would be helpful to have an even larger size. But size 4 fits as long as I take some time to wear them and stretch them in before really doing a workout in them. This is the thin version, and there is a big difference in the feel. The padded version was great on pavement but a bit thick for balancing indoors. The thin version is much lighter and doesn't feel like I'm standing on pads.

LizzieLizzie: I am a beginner at yoga and pilates and was struggling with my stability, especially downward dog on the mat, due to sweaty hands. I can tell these are going to help a lot as they make a huge difference on my carpet at home.

They come with a neat mesh travel case to keep things all together in your bag.

I have deduced one star due to the branding, it is some kind of adhesive lettering. I noticed one of my yogapaws had already lost a "y" before they got to me. Within less than a minute, a stretch and a twist of the fabric, I was able to easily peel away the rest of the white branding for a sleek all black look. I don't mind and will not be returning them because it does not affect the overall function of the item. The company needs to explore a different method of branding such as embroidery or dye print. In fact I would actually advise peeling the sticker off of your feet bits before putting them in the wash or your bag as you risk getting little bits of white glue over your other stuff. I've attached photos that I hope make this clear.

Overall, very happy with my ogapaws.

As a bonus, the company has a social media network with videos, guides and...

tiffany s.: These gloves have been the most invaluable prop in holding my down dog postures, and the whole reason I purchased them. While, I am a little concerned about the durability of the little elastics that separate the fingers, they're overall well-made and the grip is amazing. I wish I had purchased them sooner.

At first it felt odd as if I couldn't get a grip of my yoga mat because the gloves, while doing the work for me, were in the way. The feeling is a little disorienting because while it feels like I should have been sliding, my hands didn't budge.

With the gloves holding I can now focus on my form, because sliding hands is the whole reason my dog downs never improved. Yet, bad form from tight muscles is the whole reason my hands slid. I had a chicken and the egg situation going on, and I needed something to break the cycle.

Breaking the sliding and bad form-cycle is what these gloves do. But in all honesty, it's not a miracle product. The gloves aren't going to give me amazing form in down dog because I still have a lot of work to do on my part.

All-in-all, I'm thrilled with my purchase and if you have the same problem of hands sliding in downward dog,...

W.N.: Update — All the lettering on the feet is gone now. I’ve had these a few months. But I started noticing another issue and couldn’t figure out what was happening. My teal yoga mat has a few dark stains. Originally I thought maybe it’s time to replace. It’s a year old. But then it dawned on me, the stains are only on the top of the mat and bottom. Right where my feet are for mountain pose and downward dog. They’re also dark gray. So it isn’t dirt. And I certainly don’t wear shoes on my mat.

No amount of cleaning has removed the stains. I’m honestly not sure what happened with this set. It’s only the feet I’ve had issues with. The gloves are great and the quality I expected from the brand. I’ve already replaced my mat. And I’ll buy another set of yoga paws soon. So I’m dropping another star.

I’m sure this was a manufacturer’s error. I still love and trust the brand. But if you have issues within the return window, I’d go ahead and try to get them replaced. I wish I had.

Original review— These are my second set of Yoga Paws. I swear by them, I love the grip provided and the small wrist support the gloves give me. Despite using a...

Kimber Tomlyn: First off, let me just say that I paid full price for these. No promo's or endorsements here. With that out of the way? These have been a life changer for me. My sweaty hands and feet where about to keep me off the mat forever, I found myself suddenly unable to support myself safely during yoga and was devastated. The rubber mats are just out of my price range and I don't have the patience for a yoga towel, but these babies where the answer to my prayers. And sure, there are cheaper options out there, but none of them compare to Yoga Paws. These are so comfortable I forget they are there, and I can practice anywhere. I prefer to use a mat, but with these there is no need. These keep me on the mat no matter what, no more self consciously slipping into child's pose while silently cursing my sweaty hands and feet.

I have to give a shout out to their customer service team too. I ordered the wrong size, I measured my hand and thought the 2 would work but it just was too small. I wear a size 11 shoe, so probably should have known better, but the package arrived loaded with inserts reassuring me to reach out direct with any problems. They responded in record time, and got a...

NM: These work great and are really cute! I got size 2 (recommended for most women) and they fit wonderfully. My only complaint is that the stitching on one of the foot "paws" is messed up. The seam where the elastic band that wraps around the ankle meets the rest of the "paw" sticks straight out and digs into the skin on my foot. It's quite uncomfortable. The other one is fine, however, which leads me to think this was a small manufacturing fluke. I am thinking it will be a simple fix with my sewing machine.

Also, the foot paws are a tad bit uncomfortable to walk around in, but I only did that in order to break them in a little (generally I don't walk around in them, just use them for yoga). They tend to slide backwards a bit, which partially reveals the balls of my feet and makes it hurt to put my full weight on them. The little strip that fits between my toes may be just a tad bit too long, thus causing this issue. I think this would also be a quick sewing machine fix.

Otherwise they grip the floor and my yoga mat really well! I am super excited to take them on vacation with me next week. Worth the purchase. I hope they hold up over time. I use them almost daily, but...
