Falls are a leading threat to the health and independence of older adults—over 30% of people aged 65+ experience at least one fall each year. Research shows that a simple change in footwear can significantly impact balance and confidence.

A controlled study on older women (average age 74) found that wearing non‑slip socks improved agility and dynamic balance, especially during sudden direction changes, without compromising comfort or fit.  That means quicker, more confident steps while navigating tile or hardwood floors.

When seniors walk in smooth-surface environments like at home, hospitals, or assisted living, every step counts. Non-slip socks offer an immediate layer of traction, reducing the likelihood of slips before a fall even happens.
