A sock that is less likely to slip off and provide an excellent wearing feeling while ensuring a state of the sock being hard to see. This sock provides a foot connecting portion 14 between a toe portion 11 and a heel portion 12. The sock also provides an ankle connecting portion 15 between the heel portion 12 and a body portion 13. The foot connecting portion 14 and the ankle connecting portion 15 that sandwich the heel portion 12 are knitted as non-cylindrical knitted fabrics having predetermined knitting widths, respectively, to form an opening 16 surrounded by the toe portion 11, the foot connecting portion 14, the heel portion 12, the ankle connecting portion 15, and the body portion 13 to open an area from the ankle to the instep in a worn state. This prevents an instep portion of the sock from protruding from a shoe and becoming visible.

Provided is a compression garment formed of a stretchable woven fabric with a uniform elasticity, such as denim. A circumferential portion of the garment surrounds a wearer's body part and is characterized by different degree of stretching but the same circumferential compressive forces when worn by a wearer, at various axial locations due to geometric cuts made to the fabric to form one or more fabric panels, each of which extend along the entire length of the circumferential portion. The compressive forces, degrees of stretching and circumferential lengths of fabric, are calculated using formulas and algorithms that take into account various factors relating to the fabric and the garment being formed.

Concepts provided are directed to a sock having a toe seam that is primarily located on a lateral side of the sock. The sock may comprise a foot locating feature to ensure that the wearer dons a right footed sock on a right foot and a left footed sock on a left foot so that the toe seam is localized to the lateral side of the wearer's foot when the sock is worn by the wearer.

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.

A therapeutic medical garment including a knitted welt proximate one end thereof with a surface adapted for residing against the wearer's skin. The garment includes a ground yarn and a plurality of raised, skin-engaging stabilizer elements, such as elongate bars extending in spaced-apart relation around an inner surface of the welt and along a longitudinal axis of the garment to reduce a tendency of the welt to roll over on itself.

Shaping garments including one or more slimming elastic bands are disclosed. In some embodiments, shaping garments include a first horizontal elastic band and a second diagonal elastic band positioned to reshape the inner and outer upper legs creating a slimmer appearance, while also lifting the buttocks.

The utility model relates to devices for wrapping feet when wearing shoes. One variant of the device is a band made of fabric having a mid-section and end sections, wherein said mid-section has a width of approximately half the length of the user's foot and a length approximately equal to the circumference of the Metatarsophalangeal joint area of the user's foot. The end sections, that are the lengthwise continuation of the mid-section, can have different shapes and are decoratively tied or otherwise arranged after the shoes are put on. Another variant of the device is a loop made of fabric formed by connecting the ends of a band having a width approximately half the length of the user's foot and a length approximately double the circumference of the Metatarsophalangeal joint area of the user's foot. The utility model provides protection and hygiene when wearing shoes.
