This document presents a footwear object that covers the foot and ankle of the wearer. The footwear object protects the wearer's feet and ankle while improving blood circulation, and supporting the toes, arches, and ankles of the wearer. The footwear object is manufactured of layered fabrics that are knitted and/or woven from both man-made and natural fibers. The footwear object may have portions providing compression, padding, and grip to provide support and prevent injury to the wearer's feet and ankles.

The no show sock wraps the material around the big toe and additional four toes, keeping it in place and allowing it to remain below the shoe line. It than pulls underneath the foot and attaches to the back of the shoe with a Velcro backing or some sort of adhesive to keep the sock in place as to not slip under the foot. This allows for all day comfort, without the sock showing. Optional features may include, but are not limited to a variety of decorative material, designs, textures, stitching patterns or appliques, dry wicking material/sweat proof material (to prevent odor), and different types of Velcro (shapes strength and widths). This sock is washable.

A non-slip hosiery to provide metatarsal support and foot stabilization when worn with high heeled or open toed shoes. The non-slip hosiery includes one or more gel cushioned pads at the ball and heel of the foot of the hosiery. The gel pads are configured such that the pads may be in at least partial contact with the wearer's skin and the insole of the shoe, providing frictional contact to limit slipping of the wearer's foot within the shoe.

A bra including a closure system, the closure system including a first layered fabric body, a second layered fabric body, a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, and a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body. The hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body, and the first layered fabric body includes a flexible supporting layer, where the flexible supporting layer is configured to provide rigidity to the second layered fabric body such that the second layered fabric body maintains a flat configuration when it is secured to the first layered fabric body.

An assist garments worn on or below the waist has finger loops mounted on a band to assist in dressing and undressing.

A system, method, and foot cover for preventing slippage. The foot cover includes a stretchable lattice configured to be worn over a foot of a user. The stretchable lattice defines a plurality of openings providing ventilation to the foot of the user. A first end of the stretchable lattice encloses toes of the foot of the user. An opening of the stretchable lattice defines an opening for receiving the foot of the user.

A garment for a person comprising; a first article having at least two openings, wherein each of the at least two openings are for legs to pass through exposing the feet of a person, a reinforcement member secured to the first article, distal to where the feet of the person pass through, a first attachment means secured to the reinforcement member, at least two second articles having an opening designed to substantially fit and conceal the foot of the person, and a second attachment means secured to an interior surface of the at least two second articles distal to the opening, wherein the second attachment means is designed to mate with the first attachment means, and are aligned in a predetermined pattern.

Disclosed is an article of clothing including a first portion to cover a wearer and a fastening system to hold the first portion on the wearer. In an embodiment, the fastening system includes a second portion connectable to the first portion, and at least one opening in the first portion or the second portion. The connection to the second portion and the at least one opening are located at positions in the first portion or the second portion such that the first or second portion is passable through the at least one opening to cause the first portion to encircle the wearer.

A garment that includes one or more grip elements is disclosed. The grip elements, as disposed on a garment, may enable enhanced frictional forces between the garment and an object, such as exercise equipment, with which the garment may make contact. The grip elements may be composite structures disposed on one or more surfaces of the garment and may include an elastomeric and/or rubbery material with grit materials, such as sand, alumina, silicon carbide, or the like, embedded therein. The grit material may be at least partially exposed at the surface of the grip elements and may enhance gripping forces when the grip elements are wet, such as with sweat, compared to grip elements formed by only elastomeric materials. Grip elements may be formed on various portions of a garment separately and then those portions may be attached to each other to form the garment with grip elements.

A sock and/or outer footwear having one or more portions with reduced frictional characteristics. One or more of the heel portion, the arch portion and the ball portion of the sock and/or interior of the outer footwear is fabricated with one or more fibers having the reduced frictional characteristics. The reduced frictional characteristics are established with the one or more low-friction fibers that are integrated with fibers having additional complementary characteristics of thermal regulation and moisture management. The provision of reduced frictional characteristics in one or more of the heel, arch and ball facilitates insertion of a foot into footwear.
