A composite item of footwear and handwear having a main body to accommodate the hand/foot of a wearer of the item, the main body comprising an outer layer, an inner layer and a waterproof and breathable intermediate layer between the outer and inner layers, and an opening through which a foot/hand can be inserted, the opening defined by a cuff arrangement comprising a cuff region that comprises an end region of each of the inner and intermediate layers and a cuff inner portion of the outer layer that extends beyond the said end regions, the cuff arrangement further comprising a waterproof cuff band fixed to one or both of the cuff inner portion and end region of the inner layer to lie over and be fixed to the outside of the outer layer, the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the outer layer is at a distance from the opening that is greater than the distance between the opening and the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the cuff inner portion or end region of the inner layer.

A variable foot and leg covering is provided. The variable foot and leg covering comprises a top portion having a first thickness. The variable foot and leg covering also comprises a bottom portion having a second thickness, wherein the first thickness is different than the second thickness.

A thermal sock, which is made of Modal elastic core-spun yarn and high-elastic spandex covered yarn, including a foot part and a boot part knitted integrally, both the foot part and the boot part have two layers, a heater is arranged in the foot part, the heater is located in the interlayer of the two layers of material and coiled, and the power cord of the heater extends out of one side of the boot part along the interlayer. the heater is arranged in the foot part, the heater is electrified to generate heat to achieve the warmth retention effect, and the sock is a two-layer structure, the heater is put in the interlayer to prevent the heater from directly contacting the skin, and it is convenient for arranging the power cord.

Five small holes on the top front sock specifically above the toes between the phalanges and the metatarsals joint, represent the new design, its advantage, and to solve the issue of odor problem of the toes. The pocket is to hide items, and double layers provide extra support for the leg. The invisible stitching on the ankle is part of the design helping the double layers to form a pocket and support for the leg. The stitching on the back is part of the design holding the double layers together.

Temperature variant compression stockings are three-in-one stockings that address needs both in the sports world and the medical field. The temperature variant stockings may help cool the skin while exerting a desired compressive force; another version of the temperature variant stockings may actually retain heat while also exerting a desired compressive force. The stockings are available where the temperature variant components are in contact with the user's skin while the compression yarns are knitted onto the outside of the stocking. A style is also available with alternating strips, with either the cooling yarns or the heat retaining yarns running vertically and parallel to strips of compression yarns. Antimicrobial particles are infused into the cooling or heating yarns to guard again infections.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

A method of creating a cushioned sock whereby a polymer cushion is positioned between an outer and an inner layer of yarn or fabric is provided. The method comprises horizontally positioning a first and a second layer of fabric, the first layer atop the second layer. The method also comprises attaching a first polymer cushion to the first layer tube about two inches from a left end. The method also comprises attaching a second polymer cushion to the first layer about five inches from the first polymer cushion and toward a center area of the layers. The method also comprises drawing a left half of the layers completely over the right half of the layers, the drawing action causing a full exterior surface of the left half to become an interior surface covering an exterior surface of a right half.

A sock having a sock fabric part covering the top and ankle regions of the foot and a sole having a layered structure combined with the sock fabric part. The sock has a plurality of embossed surfaces configured on the surface of said sole that contacts the ground and hexagonally shaped sole components formed by these embossed surfaces when they come together, protrusions provided on the embossed surfaces found on the top and toe regions of the sole, and channels provided among the embossed surfaces.
