Abstract
A sock includes a pad with a bulbous region arranged across an upper side of a wearer's toes. The bulbous region is arranged to reinforce the toe region of a shoe worn atop the sock. In this manner, the bulbous region prevents unsightly wear creases from occurring. Moreover, the sock may be worn with a shoe that exhibits a sunken top toe region or unsightly wear lines to reduce or cause the lines to disappear.
Description
- There are no related applications.
- The instant application did not receive any federal research and/or development funding.
- Generally, the present invention relates to a protective sock for wear under a shoe. The protective sock comprises a sock having an open and a closed end. A reinforced protective region includes a pad that is arranged at a top side of the closed end to reinforce a top side of a shoe worn over the sock to prevent unsightly creases from occurring at the base of the toe area of the top side of the shoe. The protective sock also protects the toenails of the athletes from being smashed during athletic events.
- Various protective socks are known. For example. U.S. patent Ser. No.2,443,997 to Town discloses a stocking toe protector that is impregnated by wax. The protector is a bow-like design to be worn over the toe portion of the foot, outside the stocking, for protecting the stocking against wear of that portion of the fabric disposed between the nail of the large toe and the inner lining of the shoe which is where the stockings usually fail first. Thus, the Town device minimizes wear of the stocking at the toe portion of the stocking.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,615,188 to Hursh et al. discloses a two-ply athletic sock for use in jogging or other athletic activity. The sock has a foot portion consisting of a first inner layer or ply disposed inside a second outer layer or ply. The first ply of the foot portion has an inner surface adapted to contact the skin formed principally of yarns having high frictional characteristics, high thermal conductivity, and low moisture regain. Its opposed surface is formed principally of yarns having relatively low frictional characteristics. The second ply has an inner surface which has low frictional characteristics and its outer surface is formed of yarns having relatively high frictional characteristics and high moisture regain (hydrophilic). The latter surface may also be formed with terry loops to enhance its shock-absorbing construction as well as to increase its moisture absorbing capacity.
- U.S. patent Ser. No. 5,307,522 to Throneburg et al. discloses a snowboarding sock for use with a snowboarding boot. The sock is adapted for wear with a flexible snowboarding boot when snowboarding and cushions selected areas of the leg and foot by providing pads of different fabric thickness in selected areas of the leg and foot of the wearer. The Throneburg invention relates generally to a sock particularly adapted for wear with snowboarding boots when snowboarding to facilitate evaporation of moisture from the foot, prevent shifting of the foot in the boot and for cushioning selected areas of the leg and foot by providing pads of different fabric thickness in selected areas of the leg and foot of the wearer. Cushioning pads of medium fabric thickness are provided by forming a first set of terry loops (single terry loops) in the front half of the leg, the instep of the foot and optionally in the heel and low splice area extending below the heel. Cushioning pads of heavy fabric thickness are provided by forming both first and second sets of terry loops (double terry loops) in a high pad area in the medial portion of the rear of the leg, in the ball, and in the toe. Cushioning pad of maximum fabric thickness is provided by forming first, second and third sets of terry loops (triple terry loops) in the high splice area above the heel.
- The present invention is a sock that keeps the toe area of a shoe from depressing or sinking in over time as the shoe is worn. The novel sock also reduces the lines on the upper front toe area of a shoe already displaying wear lines. Moreover, the invention relieves pressure on the top of the toes when sneakers and steel-toed boots are worn. The sock includes a pocket or an enlarged area in the upper toe region having a bulge formed from cotton padding, batting or the like that runs atop the toe area and from between the base of the toes and the ends of the toes. The bulge has two ends and a central region that is thicker than either end. The unique shape of bulge causes it to be properly situated at the base of the toes to prevent creases from occurring in boots or shoes worn atop the sock.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a sock having a uniquely shaped bulge arranged atop a toe region of the sock. The bulge extending across the toes of a foot inserted into the sock and being arranged such that the thickest part of the bulge extends across the base socket of each toe. In this manner, the bulge prevents unsightly wear lines from being created on the top side of the shoe.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a sock having a padded upper region arranged atop the toe area. The padded upper region is bulbous and includes two ends that are thinner in size than the central area of the padded region. The central area pushes against the top inside of the toe of a shoe worn over the sock to reinforce the base of the toe region to prevent or diminish unsightly wear lines of the shoe.
- The above and further objects, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
