Silicone is printed onto the sole in a pattern you choose, from full coverage for healthcare floors to light dots for studio and hotel use.
The grip is the product. A hospital non-slip sock that sheds its silicone after twenty industrial wash cycles stops being a safety device and becomes a fall risk on the next audit. So the questions for a grip or anti-slip range are narrow and unforgiving: does the silicone stay bonded through high-temperature laundering, is the traction laid out for the surface it actually meets, and does the grip read the same on pair number one and pair number ten thousand. As a private-label and OEM manufacturer, Sihman Inc. builds the grip as an engineered layer rather than a printed afterthought, so it survives the environment it ships into.
Hospital tile, a barre studio, a fitness mat, and a toddler’s kitchen each ask for a different silicone layout, and the wrong one either slips or feels like sandpaper. We knit and grip to whichever of these your line needs, then tune density and coverage from there:
Grip and sock color can also be coded by size or fall-risk level, a system many healthcare buyers rely on, and matched to your brand throughout.
You supply the layout, the colors, and any size or risk codes; we manage the knit construction, the silicone grip application, and the quality control that keeps them consistent from the first 2,000 pairs through repeat runs of 5,000+. Production runs in Istanbul through our sister company Elteksan on combed-cotton and cotton-blend bodies with polyamide and elastane for fit, and because Sihman Inc. is a US company that imports as the importer of record, the socks arrive on one duty-paid landed price with the duties already inside it, so the per-pair cost stays workable at the volumes institutions and retailers actually buy.
What separates a safety product from a liability is repeatability: the same traction, the same coding, the same bond strength on every pair across every reorder. That is the part we own for you, so your team can stand behind the grip long after the first delivery.
Durable silicone is applied to the sole in the pattern, density, and coverage your use case needs, from light traction to full-sole safety grip.
Hospital non-slip, fitness-floor grip, hospitality safety, and toddler grip all need different layouts; we build each to your spec.
Grip color and sock color can be coded by size or risk level (common in healthcare settings) and matched to your brand.
The grip is applied to survive repeated institutional laundering without peeling, so the socks hold up in high-turnover environments.
Sihman Inc. is the sister company of Elteksan, a private label sock manufacturer knitting in Istanbul since 1999. Every pair is made in Istanbul through our sister company Elteksan, which manages production.
