The present invention relates generally to a sock having one or more support assemblages for providing structural support to one or more regions of the foot of the wearer. In some exemplary embodiments, a support assemblage may be an arch support assemblage that is adapted to cover an arch of the foot. In some exemplary embodiments, a support assemblage may be an Achilles support assemblage that is adapted to cover the Achilles tendon of the foot. In some exemplary embodiments, a support assemblage may be an ankle support assemblage that is adapted to cover a portion of the ankle of the foot. In some exemplary embodiments, the sock may comprise multiple support assemblages to provide structural support to different regions of the foot of the wearer. Typically, a support assemblage will have an elasticity coefficient that is lower than an elasticity coefficient of the other areas of the sock.

The present invention provides an easy settable stretch fabric comprising three types of yarns: a rigid fiber, an elastic fiber, and a low-melt fiber, wherein the low-melt fiber comprises low-melt polymer which can be fused in the temperature between 60° C. to 200° C., being higher than the temperature used for normal textile process and household laundry, but lower than the temperature used for heat setting elastic fiber. The low-melt fiber can be selected from a group of fibers made from modified polyester, nylon, and polypropylene and the copolymer from them in the form of staple or filament.

A protective sock that integrates a protective padding to provide a unitary garment is disclosed. As such, a wearer's need to frequently adjust the position of the protective equipment is likely reduced. An integrated and flexible protective padding also limits the amount of equipment required by the wearer. The padding also conforms to the wearer's body, and thus likely increases the athlete's wearer's comfort. A protective sock that integrates a high friction surface to restrict the movement of any secondary equipment is also disclosed. Such a restriction prevents the exposure of a wearer's body to potential injury. Movement of the secondary equipment may also be distracting to the wearer. As such, the integrated high friction surface likely provides the athlete wearer with a performance advantage. The sock may integrate the protective padding and/or the high friction surface.

Fully custom and personalized improved pair of socks that may be produced from a blend of spandex, polyester, cotton, bamboo fibers, copper, nylon, etc. The socks could be produced in various heights such as ankle, crew, mid-calf, etc. The top of the sock would feature a cushioned, no slip edging, etc. In addition, the heel would feature a cushioned, no slip support while cushioned support would rest around the ankle. The main modification of this cushioned sock would deal with the inclusion of pockets, sleeves, openings, etc. upon its outer sole which would allow various materials to be inserted to relieve pain, support, better balance, help plantar fasciitis, and possibly many other health concerns. The inserts may be produced from various materials to accommodate different needs. The inserts, insoles, gel beds, etc. could rest beneath the hell, ball, and arch of the foot. They may be produced from a plethora of material foam, rubber, plastic, with gel interior, etc. In addition, they may be produced in various widths, sizes and shapes, etc. to accommodate different needs. The interior of the pockets, sleeves, openings, etc. could contain gel, adhesive, magnets, etc. they may ensure the insert remained in the proper place for the wearer. Alternatively, the insoles, inserts, footbeds may be held in place by magnets. The inserts may provide support and added comfort for the user's feet and may decrease the amount of back problems, gait issues, foot and leg fatigue, etc. Also envisioning a removable plantar fascist wrap accompanying the SOUL SOXS going from mid high sock to crew that would hold various arch supports in place. The socks could be produced in a plethora of colors and an array of sizes appropriate for wearing by men, women, and children. SOUL SOXS is designed to provide added comfort for the user's feet. This product would comprise of socks containing the support offered by insoles throughout its design. More specifically, these personalized and customizable socks with inserts, insoles, etc. would feature fully customizable from colors, textures, materials, infusions, and could feature cushioned, no-slip area upon the sock's openings, slots, pockets as well as upon the heel. Cushioned ankle support would be incorporated. Pockets, slots would be incorporated to provide inserts for the ball, heel, and arch areas of the toot. The arch area may also contain a removable plantar fasciitis wrap that would anchor the arch support insert. Various types and thickness of insets could be positioned within the pockets. They may be produced with gel, from plastic or rubber, or as expanded foam. When worn, the SOUL SOXS may reduce the incidence of pain and pr

A collapsible free standing stocking is disclosed. This invention removes the danger from a stocking that hangs over a flame (of any kind). It also eliminates the danger of being pulled off from a mount having heavy weighted holder and crushing a child head, a person's foot or injuring a pet. It eliminates the need of nailing, screwing or attaching hooks into mantels. The collapsible stocking includes a footpad that is received in a foot portion of the stocking. A weighted sock is dimensioned to be received within the foot portion and carries a malleable weighted material, which may be a granular or pelletized material. A plurality of sleeves and a corresponding plurality of rods support an upper sleeve portion of the stocking body in an upright orientation.

A comfort article that resembles a sock and can be worn over a foot for enhanced comfort and preventing foot sores. The comfort article includes a sleeve, a heel cushion pad, and a toe cushion pad. The sleeve, the heel cushion pad, and the toe cushion pad are integral to each other.
