A couple things. One is a strength thing, another is using something like Grrrip or rosin on the socks at points of contact.

Ooh, have you seen people actually grip with their legs with socks on? I can only do stuff that doesn't require grip (or minimal grip).

oh, lol. I honestly don't think I've ever seen anyone grip the pole in socks, unless they're gripping on bare skin at some point

A few of my instructors can do some pretty awesome stuff fully clothed, they claim they are gripping tightly enough and with the right technique that the slip from the cloth doesn't matter. I am dubious and believe they are using dark magic.

I've danced in pants a few times and in socks/leg warmers now and then. It's usually done by gripping really hard, pure muscling. Or grip aids!!!

You just know that you are going to slide a lil for some things…so hands on pole and good judgement is a must. For example I can leg hang, but I'm going to slide down faster than if I wasn't wearing them and I keep my hands on the pole in case it's really slippy.
