YogaPaws Elite Padded Non Slip Yoga Gloves and Yoga Socks for Women and Men

No more slipping in downward dog!
I really don’t like yoga mats, I feel they are restricting during such a freeing activity like yoga. They get in the way, they bunch up, they’re just annoying. Plus, I do yoga in my house on my carpet, not a hard floor. But I can never get comfortable in downward dog because my hands slip and slip and slip.These are perfect. They are the yoga mat without the fuss. They are comfortable to wear, they are easy to put on and take off, and they take up no room at all. I have put them in my purse. I keep them on my bookshelf. You can’t even tell they are there. I have been using them for many months now and I’ve been waiting to write a review because I love them so much, but I wanted to see how they did with regular use.I do yoga about 3 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. My wrists feel better while using them and after. I am able to flatten my palms easier. My downward dog is 100% improved. They are now as much a part of my yoga as breathing. I recommend these to experienced yoga practitioners and beginners alike. Yoga has been a part of my life for 17 years. I have taken classes, followed dvd’s, done my own routine and taught a bit. I swear by these wonderful little gloves.I do have one little complaint that isn’t as much of a complaint really as it is an observation. I say that because the little complaint doesn’t affect the usability. The little stretchy bands in between each finger that basically keep the glove in place are comfortable, but they stretch during use, especially during downward dog. I’m not going to say they stretch too far, but I will say I feel like they should be a little stronger. During downward dog, my hands don’t slip at all, there is just a stretch of the bands that is noticeable. Also, I have made the velcro strap around my wrist too tight at times and just had to adjust them. So, a tip maybe? Put them on do a quick wrist roll and forearm stretch and look for digging in from the strap and just straighten it up and then make sure it’s not too tight or too loose. Just right for you.I promise you’ll love them.Oh and I saw a few reviews about doing pull ups and lifting weights and stuff with them. I mean, ya ok, they are gloves but that’s not the intended use! If you actually do yoga, and lift weights as well, get the right gloves for each activity. They are NOT comfortable to lift weights with. There is no protection of the fingers, just the palm. And it pinches when you close your hand around a bar and squeeze. It’s kinda silly to mix yoga with lifting weights anyway.. that’s missing the whole point of yoga. Isn’t it?Namaste!

Most definitely non-skid and stable
These are excellent for yoga. The sizing is a bit tight so if you know that your measurement is precise to the size chart then size up because the stitching, particularly at the thenar webspace, can feel restrictive. The padding really does keep you from slipping and sliding.

Perfect
I’m a 6’2″ guy whose sweaty hands & feet make certain yoga positions (e.g. down dog) a slippery experience. First I tried grippy gloves which were advertised as yoga gloves but looked more like all purpose workout gloves that one might use for weightlifting. These were no good — they fell apart very quickly, and ripped a little each time I did a position where the bulk of my weight was supported by my hands on the floor. Also, the fingerholes would pinch in between my fingers, causing discomfort. Not to mention, the grippy-ness wasn’t great, I’d still slide, just more slowly.These yoga paws have been GREAT. I ordered the men’s regular size (I think the largest size available) and was pleased to see they fit comfortably on my above average sized hands & feet (shoe size 13). They don’t pinch in between my fingers (or just barely anyway) and they grip to the floor like glue, no slipping at all. You’ll pay a little more for these than some other alternatives out there, but these are well worth the money!

Was undecided about trying these or getting a travel mat. So glad I bought these, using them is comfier than my thick home mat. Absolutely zero slippage on polished varnish finish wood floor. Feel more secure in postures as a result. Also half the price of a quality travel mat. Chose sellers own minimal packaging, saved receiving a box the size of my house! Only slight negative is toe strap is a bit uncomfortable but as I have only tried them out really think that they will soften with wear. Amazing, so happy!

Perfect!
