A split grip sock device is disclosed that reduces slippage during lateral movements commonly performed during sports like basketball, tennis, soccer, and football. The device solves these problems by adding grip to the bottom of the sock and having a separate compartment for the big toe which allows for improved pivoting and change of direction. Further, the device also provides cushioning over the metatarsals to alleviate shoelace pressure and over the heel area to prevent blisters. Specifically, the split grip sock device comprises a thicker weave over the top of the foot and heel, with heat-pressed rubber pieces on the bottom of the sole.

An inner-outer non-skid sleeve worn on a hand or foot, including a front sleeve portion and a rear sleeve portion coupled together. Inner surfaces of the front sleeve portion and the rear sleeve portion have an inner non-skid layer so as to be partially covered with the inner non-skid layer but partially exposed. The inner non-skid layer has a predetermined thickness and thus protrudes from the inner surfaces of the sleeve body. Outer surfaces of the front sleeve portion and the rear sleeve portion have an outer non-skid layer so as to be partially covered with the outer non-skid layer but partially exposed. The outer non-skid layer is in contact with an external object or the ground. The outer non-skid layer has a predetermined thickness and thus protrudes from the outer surface of the sleeve body.

A no-slip sock construction may include a sock and a shoe insert. The sock may include one or more first components and one or more second components, each positioned on an outside bottom surface of the sock. The one or more first components may include a no-slip material, and the one or more second components may each include one or more loop fasteners. The shoe insert may include one or more hook fasteners configured to interconnect with the one or more loop fasteners, and one or more openings configured to slidably receive at least a portion of the one or more first components.

A sock for covering at least a foot of a human wearer includes: a knitted toes-covering fabric-region, configured to cover toes of the foot; a knitted sole-covering fabric-region, configured to cover a sole of the foot; and a knitted toes-region stabilizing component, located between the knitted toes-covering fabric-region and the knitted sole-covering fabric-region. The knitted toes-region stabilizing component is configured to stabilize, and to prevent shifting or slippage of, the knitted toes-covering fabric-region in response to body movements. The knitted toes-region stabilizing component is a knitted band that is formed of a first yarn which is a High-Friction Low-Slippage yarn; the knitted toes-covering fabric-region and the knitted sole-covering fabric-region are knitted of a second, different, yarn. The first yarn has a first friction coefficient relative to human body; the second yarn has a second friction coefficient relative to human body; the first friction coefficient is greater than the second friction coefficient by at least 25 percent.

The socks for receiving orthotic insoles are footwear adapted for holding orthotic insoles in environments where the wearer cannot wear shoes, such as in yoga studios, places of worship, and the like. Each sock includes a tubular body having a top side, a bottom side, a closed end and an open end. A pair of straps may be secured to the tubular body, and the pair of straps are sized, positioned and configured for wrapping around the wearer's ankle. At least one layer of frictionally engaging material is secured to the bottom side of the tubular body for frictionally engaging with the floor or a similar support surface. The interior of the tubular body is adapted for receiving an orthotic insole.

The present invention relates to a sports sock. The sports sock includes a sock main body and an anti-slip portion disposed on the exterior side of the sock main body. The anti-slip portion includes first anti-slip portions disposed on the exterior side of a region covering the thenar, the hypothenar, and a portion therebetween on a sole of a forefoot of the sock main body. The first anti-slip portion includes a plurality of first inner anti-slip portions arranged in a radial fan-shaped manner such that the longitudinal direction extends inward from a starting point in a region covering the second metatarsal bone, the third metatarsal bone, and the fourth metatarsal bone, and a plurality of first outer anti-slip portions arranged in a radial fan-shaped manner such that the longitudinal direction extends outward from the starting point.

The present disclosure relates to a sock or shoe cover having grip features comprising at least one antimicrobial agent. The plurality of grip features are arranged on a plantar surface contact face. Optionally, a plurality of antimicrobial dorsal grip features are arranged about a dorsal face of the sock or shoe cover. In certain embodiments, a sock body of the sock or shoe cover also has antimicrobial qualities. In a second aspect, a method of reducing or eliminating the transportation of microbes from footwear is provided.

A charm-holding sock device is provided. The device is comprised of a sock body, which may come in various styles and materials to offer specific properties such as moisture-wicking, breathability, or elasticity. The sock body features a raised non-slip grip area, enhancing traction on different surfaces, and is made from flexible materials like silicone or rubber. Additionally, the sock includes an eyelet or grommet, which can be made from various materials and is designed to receive interchangeable charms. These charms come in different designs, materials, and finishes, offering customization options. The charms are secured via a male fastener system, allowing easy attachment and removal. The invention further comprises a method of using the sock by attaching the charm to the eyelet and placing the sock on the user's foot.

A method of manufacturing arch support socks according to one embodiment of the present invention may include an operation (a) of preparing a resin solution by mixing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) powder and dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) liquid resin, an operation (b) of adding a heat stabilizer to the resin solution and stirring the resin solution, an operation (c) of removing impurities of the resin solution through sieving, a de-foaming operation (d) of removing bubbles in the resin solution in a vacuum state, an operation (e) of filling the de-foamed resin solution in a molding mold, an operation (f) of heating the molding mold, and an operation (g) of adhering an anti-slip part separated from the molding mold to an arch area of a sock bottom.

A sock has an anti-slip part on an outside surface and/or an inside surface, respectively, of a sock bottom to be in contact with a sole of a wearer when the wearer wears the stoking. The anti-slip part includes a first anti-slip portion formed on an outside surface and/or an inside surface, respectively, of the sock bottom along an orientation of an aponeurosis plantaris. The anti-slip part preferably further includes a second anti-slip portion formed on the outside surface and/or the inside surface, respectively, of the sock bottom along an orientation of a ligamentum plantare longum of the sole, and a third anti-slip portion formed on the outside surface and/or the inside surface, respectively, of the sock bottom along an orientation of a ligamentum metatarsale transversum superficiale of the sole.
