An athletic sock for athletes, or those seeking to increase their athletic performance, to reduce the likelihood of lateral-extension ankle sprains and foot and leg cramps, and to reduce the likelihood of aggravating or bring relief from plantar fasciitis. The sock will additionally increase an athlete's vertical jump height and lateral foot speed. The sock enacts tensions on the foot at specific locations causing the foot to dorsiflex. The sock incorporates elastic material from the balls of the feet to an area ranging from the instep to above the ankle to provide tension for dorsiflexion. Elastic material is placed around the ankle and heel for support and protection while maintaining tensile strength that does not inhibit easy application of the sock or the foot's range of motion. Elastic material can be added around the arch of the sock to further reduce the aggravation of, or bring relief from, plantar fasciitis.

Sport sleeves comprising one or more anti-slip components are disclosed.

A protective covering for skin can include a UV protective member having main body portion and at least one elongated appendage shaped portion extending from the main body portion, and an adhesive layer disposed on the UV protective layer. The adhesive layer can be configured to adhere to human skin.

The dynamic accessory for protection, bracing, and stabilization of the tibial plateau, kneecap, and knee designed in the specified form, embodied by a single, open, continuous piece, including elastic microfiber fabric, neoprene, foam padding, and breathable and non-breathable fabric that surrounds the perimeter of the user's leg under the knee and in an enveloping maneuver surrounds the tibial plateau and knee, encircling it and closing onto itself and its ends, without covering the popliteal fossa. The stabilizers, specially designed to be situated inside the sectorized pocket that is designed in a concave and convex curved shape, used to promote the kinesthetic function. They also create an air chamber in order to avoid condensation from sweat and allow ventilation, as well as providing space to adapt to the users leg according to the activity carried out. Connected devices are added to implement the function of the accessory.

A leg pad (e.g., a hockey leg pad) for protecting a leg of a user, in which the leg pad is designed to enhance protection and freedom of movement (e.g., during skating strides), such as by providing flexibility of the leg pad proximate to a knee and optionally an ankle of the user (e.g., for extension and optional retraction of one or more parts of the leg pad) to better follow natural movements of the user's leg (e.g., bending of the knee and optional flexion of the ankle of the user).

A high heel shoe protector for covering and protecting an exterior surface of a high heel shoe. The high heel shoe protector includes a panel having a first distal end and a second distal end, wherein each distal end contains a fastener that removably secures to one another to form a front loop. The panel further contains a fold at a mid-section thereby creating a first lateral side and a second lateral side. A shared seam extends perpendicularly from a lower edge of each lateral side, wherein the seam creates a closed rear loop that receives a high heel of a high heel shoe. In an alternative embodiment, the panel is made of a flexible water resistant material and the fastener on each distal end comprises hook and loop material.

A garment, containing a tubular joint supporter section, the section including: a central region in an axial direction of the tubular joint supporter section, which includes a wear pressure applying region for applying wear pressure to a joint site of a body, a one-end side region positioned at one end, and an other-end side region positioned at another end side, in which the wear pressure of the wear pressure applying region is higher than an average wear pressure of the one-end and other-end side regions, and regions other than the wear pressure applying region in the section include a concave-convex structure region formed from a concave-convex structure; and a knee supporter, in which an average wear pressure A of the knee support section is higher than an average wear pressure B of the thigh side support section and the shin side support section.

A strip of material includes a plurality of protrusions extending from the sheet. The protrusions in a local area cooperate to resist a force placed on the local area of the strip.
