A foot cover including a stretchable lattice configured to be worn over a foot of a user. The stretchable lattice being fitted to a shape of a human foot. The stretchable lattice is an elastomer. The stretchable lattice defines a first plurality of openings and a second plurality of openings. The foot cover includes a first end of the stretchable lattice enclosing toes of the foot of the user. The foot cover includes a second end of the stretchable lattice defining an opening for receiving the foot of the user, wherein first end includes the first plurality of openings that are smaller than the second plurality of openings associated with a body of the stretchable lattice.

A method for treating a knitted foot garment that provides added cushion to the knitted material of the sock includes the steps of heating a liquid polymer mixture, forcing gas into the mixture, agitating the mixture to create a bubble infused mixture, injecting the bubble infused mixture into a polymer template, attaching the polymer template to the outer sole of a knitted foot garment, and cooling the gas infused polymer mixture. A knitted foot garment includes upper, heel, toe, and sole knitted fabric portions integrally woven together to define a chamber. A plurality of encapsulated polymer pads are attached to and protrude from an outer surface of either the heel, toe or sole portions. The polymer pads contain gas bubbles to provide increased cushioning to the sole of the foot garment.

Aspects herein are directed to a grip film or grip film kit comprising an edge trim portion and at least one ovoid portion. The edge trim portion may have a wave-shaped configuration in which the ovoid portion is at least partially disposed. Other aspects herein are directed to an extremity covering portion comprising the grip film on at least one opening to provide grip that may assist in maintaining the position and/or configuration of the extremity covering portion on the body of a 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.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.

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.

Insulated sleeping bags suitable for use in outdoor environments in ambient temperatures at least as low as 0 F./18 C. are disclosed. Particularly, the sleeping bags are sized to accommodate young children. The disclosed sleeping bags ensure that the young child using the sleeping bag is insulated against cold ambient temperatures during sleep and eliminates the suffocation hazards posed by previously known cold weather sleeping arrangements for young children.

The present invention discloses a hemming-stitch-free warp-knitted elastic fabric and a method for knitting thereof. The method includes: making a non-elastic yarn pass across a guide needle of the first guide bar and form the surface of the fabric by knitting via two needles or three needles in a 11 or 21 warp plain stitch loop mode, and making an elastic yarn pass across a guide needle of the second guide bar and form the inside of the fabric by knitting with the aforementioned non-elastic yarn in the same direction via three needles in a open double warp plain stitch loop mode, and two loops are continuously formed on each course of the open double warp plain stitch loop. The hemming-stitch-free warp-knitted fabric produced according to the present invention has good snagging grade, moderate horizontal straight tensile force and good resilience.

An anchor boot including a cuff, a heel operatively attached to and positioned below the cuff, the heel including a heel flap and a heel turn, a gusset operatively attached to the heel flap, the heel turn, and the cuff, the gusset positioned below the cuff and in front of the heel, a foot operatively attached to the gusset and positioned in front of the gusset, and memory foam imbedded within sides of the gusset provides a more secure and tight fit around the ankles in any type of boot wear. The adjustable configuration allows for use of the anchor boot with any boot but is particularly useful with rubber boots and warm and cold weather wading boots.

Articles, such as garments, including films comprising dried aqueous polyurethane dispersions are disclosed, whereby the garment has an altered stress which is exhibited during wear of the garment and/or has one or more sections of waterproof or water-resilient fabric. The film may be bonded to the fabric of the article to provide a fabric or film laminate.
