Aspects herein are directed to a sock having a plurality of toe-anchor knit courses that form a toe anchor that divides a toe-end opening of the sock into a first toe-end opening and a second toe-end opening by extending across the toe-end opening from a dorsal portion of the toe-end opening to a plantar portion of the toe-end opening. The toe-anchor knit courses are integrally knit with the sock body.

The present invention comprises a knee pad system for attaching one or more knee pads to a user's knee. The system for a single knee pad includes a knee pad with two knee pad straps that attach said knee pad to a user's knee, and two upper straps that attach to the two knee pad straps and a user's belt or waist. One of the upper straps runs the length of the user's outer thigh, while the second upper strap runs from the user's inner thigh where the second upper strap attaches to the knee pad strap to the front of a user's waist. The configuration of the two upper straps prevents the knee pad from moving about the user's knee.

The present disclosure relates to a leg protector. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, disclosed is a leg protector which can protect a wearer's foot and leg and is made of an elastic material, the leg protector comprising: a bottom plate part for supporting a wearer's foot; and a protection part connected to the upper side of the bottom plate part, extending upward therefrom, and formed to cover at least a part of the side and rear portions of the wearer's foot and leg, wherein the protection part includes, on both the left and right sides of the ankle portion thereof, an opening part through which regions corresponding to the wearer's malleoli are exposed to the outside.

Provided with a sleeve supporter which can cover a surface of an region including an instep, a sole, a heel and an ankle of a foot and a belt-type supporter which is attached to the sleeve supporter and attachable to the foot on the sleeve supporter: the belt-type supporter is provided with an ankle belt, a plantar heel hold belt, an affected-part pressing belt and a posterior heel hold belt: the sleeve supporter is made of cloth having an extension larger than that of the belt-type supporter, yarns used therefor have a thickness 30 denier to 70 denier (both inclusive) and a clothing pressure thereof is 10 mmHg to 20 mmHg (both inclusive).

A rolling knee support device is attached to each knee of the user for support thereof when the user is in a kneeling position. The device has four swivel caster type wheels with a threaded stem for being releasably mounted into one of eight holes defined in a double-curved lower surface of a base of the support. The four wheels can be moved and arranged such on the double-curved lower surface so that the supporting feature of the knee supporting device can be modified and customized according to the needs of the worker and/or the particular job whereby the worker is supported in the most comfortable, balanced, and efficient position and orientation for any particular job. Straps with fasteners are used to secure each rolling knee support device to each knee of the user.

An impact force dampening and defusing structure includes a plurality of components arranged in a grid array. A component has a three-dimensional geometric shape that includes an impact receiving surface area and an impact defusing surface area. The impact defusing surface area is larger than, and a distance d from, the impact receiving surface area. The component includes a material composition and, when an impact force strikes the impact receiving surface area of the component and the impact force dampening and defusing structure is in position to protect a body part, the component contributes to reducing pressure on the body part based on the material composition, the distance d, the impact receiving surface area, and the impact defusing surface area.
