Viva Decor ABS Sock Stop (2.77 Fl oz, Light Blue) - Fabric Paint for Non-Slip Socks, Bath Mats & More - Latex-Free, Water-Based, Washable - For Grip Socks DIY

I needed to provide slip free socks but they had to be top and bottom. I purchased diabetic socks and used the sock stop all the way around. Worked perfectly. It was easy to apply and made it simple to create designs that were fun.

This product is hard to find and it works. I am glad Amazon had it. Color selection is good. Very easy to apply and has great adhesion.My purpose was for use on sock bottoms. I have elderly parents and instead of purchasing additional non-skid socks, I decided to order Sock Stop and apply it to the socks they already have. I gripped 20 pairs of socks and still have enough for more socks. Great grip!Before applying it, insert cardboard into the bottom of sock, shape it to fit the bottom, so it does not adhere to the other side of the sock. (You can create designs by outlining the bottom with the Sock Stop). Please note: It needs to dry for 48 hours before use and you may have to reapply depending on the design. Use sparingly. It is washable and can be placed in the dryer. Its purpose is to make surfaces non-slippery, it does.As an aside: if you are caretakers for elderly parents, this product will save some costs in purchasing grip socks. Just buy quality socks and make your own.

I got this for my socks. I live in a nursing home and frequently go without shoes due to swelling in my feet. I got the pink to go with the colors of my socks. It arrived in a solid, dried out lump in the bottle. It didn’t appear to have been previously opened. I sent it back for a refund. Now I use a clear silicone caulking on my socks.

I do a lot of partner dance where I need to pivot and turn on the front of my foot but need my heel to stick.Now I can make my own custom dance socks and just put the grippy on the heel part of the sock and not the front!Here on Amazon you can buy a pair of socks already made that way for $25 a PAIR!This is so much better, and these work just as good. Just make sure to buy socks with a tension band around the middle of the foot.

It helps to make socks non-slip; however, the paint is felt more through the socks than a purchased non-slip sock because the dried paint is a bit harder than the soft flat rubbery store-bought socks non-slip coating. It might work better to spread it on than to squeeze it out in dots, I don’t know. It’s okay for me, just be forewarned if you have sensitive feet.

I purchased this to try to use like silicon around the leg holes of bike shorts that didn't have any grippers to keep them riding up. It helped, a little, but probably wasn't worth the effort... that isn't it's intended application though, so I'm not holding that against the product. A couple months later I also used it to patch some flexible rubber in a different application, and it worked pretty well for that... again, not the intended application, just something I tried. It seems like it would work well on socks...I will say I haven't had any issues with it separating, hardening, or not working as intended. My tips are to SHAKE IT A LOT before using. Really really shake the bottle first. Then, before putting it on your socks (or whatever) squeeze some out onto a scrap rag. It will come out a little runny at first, but after that it applies thickly. Finally, place a piece of plastic, or maybe cardboard, underneath the fabric... It did bleed through just a little for me but having something on the other side kept it from being too bad and attaching the fabric to itself.

This is a good product but it didn't really have the quality I was looking for. When it dries it leaves more like a hard rubber feel than a silicon feel. I doesn't quite 'stick' like I wanted it too. Other than that it was really easy to use.

My mom makes hand-crocheted slippers for the whole family but the young grandkids especially found them so slippery on wooden floors and the adults wore them through quickly. This paint was the answer. After adding a few dots on the bottoms, the kids could walk with ease on the wood floors and the “grippers” helped extend the life by reducing the bottom wear of the slippers. It was easy to add the dots or designs if you are creative and took only overnight to dry. Loved this paint so much I bought some for my mom so she could add the grips to the bottoms of all the slippers she makes.
