Same sock, same patented compression support. The traction version adds our patented, refreshable adhesive grip layer to the bottom. Refreshable means you keep restoring it with E6000 Spray Adhesive (https://www.apollaperformance.com/products/e6000-spray-adhesive) for the life of the Shock.
Here's the honest version. Traction is the right pick when your floor actually needs it.
- On a professionally prepped marley or sprung studio floor that already feels grippy underfoot, NON-traction is the cleaner pick. The floor is doing the work, and a sock without grip won't transfer any adhesive during break-in.
- On a slippery floor (worn studio marley, home hardwood, laminate, polished gym wood), WITH traction is exactly what our refreshable grip is for.
- In shoes, on carpet, or on a spin disc, NON-traction every time.

Floor-safety note:
Floor and finish compatibility varies. Before using traction, E6000, rosin, or any cleaner on a studio floor, home floor, stage, or turning tool, confirm with the floor or tool manufacturer, your studio owner, or the facility manager. Always spot-test first in a hidden area and follow that surface's care instructions. Apolla cannot guarantee results on every surface and cannot take responsibility for floor or tool damage caused by unsupported cleaners, refreshers, failure to spot-test, or use outside our care guidance.
