A top band (1, 1′) for garments (2), in particular for medical compression stockings or bandages, comprising a flexible basic body (3, 3′) with an inside (4, 4′) facing the garment (2) and an outside (5, 5′), wherein the flexible basic body (3, 3′) comprises a fastening section (7, 7′) for the garment (2) on the inside (4, 4′) next to a coupling section (6, 6′), and wherein the fastening section (7, 7′) is formed by an edge-side recess (8, 8′) in the flexible basic body (3, 3′), so that the garment (2) can be fastened, offset from the coupling section (6, 6′) of the flexible basic body (3, 3′), in the recess (8, 8′).

A footlet is provided with a heel portion formed by knitting, a toe portion, and a middle portion located between the heel portion and the toe portion. The middle portion comprises lateral sides that extend between the heel portion and the toe portion on either side. The heel portion is provided with a knitted elastic band forming an edge, which is provided with an anti-slip element applied thereto on a side facing the toe portion. The anti-slip element has been applied to the elastic band after the knitting of at least the elastic band.

The invention relates to a sock (10). The sock (10) has a sole part (100) which is suitable for covering the sole of a foot (1) when the sock (10) is being worn. Furthermore, a toe region (200) of the sock (10) is suitable, together with the sole part (100), for receiving the entire toe region of the foot (1) when the sock (10) is being worn. The sock (10) furthermore comprises an instep part (300) which is suitable for at least partially covering the arch of the foot (1) when the sock (10) is being worn. A heel part (400) of the sock (10) is suitable for covering the heel of the foot (1) when the sock (10) is being worn. The sock (10) comprises an ankle closure part (600) which is suitable for closing the sock (10) in a releasable manner at the ankle of the foot (1) when the sock (10) is being worn.

A non-binding-mark sock is provided, including a sock sole and a straight sock leg connected to each other, where the upper portion of the straight sock leg is an opening end. An inner surface of the straight sock leg has at least one transverse annular convex portion near the opening end, where the transverse annular convex portion is sewn by a thread, a plurality of convex segments are formed on an inner surface of the transverse annular convex portion along the thread, and the convex segments protrude from the inner surface of the straight sock leg.

A sock system for PURPOSE includes a sock that may be worn and the sock has a cuff. A strap is coupled to the sock and the strap may be manipulated. The strap is positioned on the cuff. The strap is manipulated to select a tightness of the cuff on a user. Thus, the user may select an amount of pressure the cuff imparts to the user.

Aspects herein are directed to a sock having an integrally knit tab positioned between a collar of the sock and a heel of the sock, where the collar defines an opening for a wearer's foot. The base of the tab is integrally knit with a reciprocally knit section to reinforce the structural integrity of the tab, which may be used to assist the wearer in donning and/or doffing the sock by acting as the primary structure by which the wearer pulls the sock around the wearer's foot when donning the sock.

Disclosed embodiments may include a therapeutic sock for aiding in the treatment of toe and foot ailments. The therapeutic sock may include a sock body, which may be a stocking made from nylon or a similar elastic material, with an upper section and a lower section. The lower section may include a toe end and an absorbent pad. The absorbent pad may be gauze and may contain medicine. The absorbent pad may be attached to the sock body by sewing. The upper section may include a restricting band at the leg end. The restricting band may be made of nylon or elastic and be attached to the sock body by sewing.

Aspects herein are directed to a sock having a first knitted strap extending from a lateral aspect of a collar of the sock, and a second knitted strap extending from a medial aspect of the collar of the sock. Each of the first knitted strap and the second knitted strap is knit with a plurality of courses extending from a first longitudinal edge to a second longitudinal edge of the respective knitted strap where at least a portion of the courses are formed using an elastomeric yarn. Use of an elastomeric yarn extending widthwise across each knitted strap causes the longitudinal edges of the knitted strap to curl toward a respective longitudinal midline along the technical back of the knitted strap which, in turn produces a tubular-like shape for each of the first knitted strap and second knitted strap.
