A slip assembly for downhole tools comprises a slip ring for engaging a surface of a wellbore and a cone for expanding the slip ring into engagement with the surface of the wellbore. The slip ring has an interior surface defining a trough. The cone has an exterior surface defining a ridge. The trough is wider than the ridge, whereby the slip ring can bend over a top of the ridge.

The slip ring has an interior surface defining a trough. The cone has an exterior surface defining a ridge. The ridge is wider than the trough, whereby the slip ring can unbend over a top of the ridge.

A slip and cone assembly for a downhole tool that includes a composite slip having a one-piece configuration and having at least two grooves disposed therein; and a cone having a first end configured for engagement with the composite slip, wherein the composite slip and the cone are configured for application of a load therebetween that results in a fracture in material between the at least two grooves.
