Abstract: A hosiery device having gel pads disposed along the bottom. The device has at least one leg portion with a footed portion disposed at the bottom. It may be a pair of leggings such as pantyhose or may be a single leg stocking. Gel pads are integrated into the bottom of the footed portions in key areas that correspond to load-bearing portions of a user's foot. The gel pads are formed around the underlying hosiery fabric, creating an integrated pad that is not easily removable. Pads may be positioned along the ball, heel, toes, or entire sole of the foot. The device provides therapeutic relief of muscle tension and stress by cushioning the parts of the foot that bear a person's weight.
