Abstract: A within-the-shoe sock construction is provided which comprises a sock having a foot opening adapted to receive a foot therethrough. The height of the sock is substantially coextensive with the height of the shoe to be worn with the sock whereby the upper rear edge of the sock is substantially coterminous with the upper rear edge of the shoe. Retaining means is provided which comprises an enlarged member, which may be in the form of a pompon, and a relatively narrow supporting member, which may be in the form of a ribbon, is connected to the enlarged member. The enlarged member is adapted to be disposed outside the shoe and in engagement therewith to prevent downward movement of the sock. Connecting means in the form of a press-on peel-off separable fastener is provided for detachably connecting the support member to the sock so that the retaining device may be interchanged or replaced with other retaining devices.
