Abstract: Socks with ribs, channels and padding positioned to facilitate moisture movement from the interior of the sock upwardly and outwardly from a shoe or boot to aid in maintaining a dry condition for a sock and footwear. The sock heel may have an ankle open end that is connected to a leg portion. The tubular portion of the sock has multiple tube ribs transversally positioned and longitudinally spaced apart to form multiple tube channels wherein the tube ribs are formed by at least one additional yarn of material extending from an inner surface of the tubular portion. A portion of the multiple tube ribs are curved from a straight line on at least a portion of the inner surface to extend upwardly into the instep portion and may curve towards the heel portion. The toe portion of the sock may have toe ribs extending upwardly toward the instep portion.
