Toe sock
A toe sock includes a pad member and an ant-slip rubber layer. The pad member provides a shape the same as the front foot palm of a human body. The anti-slip rubber layer provides a profile the same as or slightly smaller than the pad member and is fixedly attached to the bottom of the pad member. Further, a plastic membrane can be provided to wrap the rubber layer and form an outer wing surrounding the rubber layer such that the rubber layer can be sewed to the bottom of the pad member. In addition, the rubber layer is soft, slip proof and shock absorptive.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a toe sock and particularly to a sock fitting with toes and the front foot palm so as to match shoe wearing and offer better comfort and protection for the foot.
2. Brief Description of the Related Art
Generally, when women wear high heeled shoes, sandals, ordinary shoes, pant hose stockings are selectively worn as desired for attaining consistent beauty and foot hygiene. However, the users often wear the shoes directly without wearing the pant hose stockings during humid days such as raining days or damped summer days in order to avoid discomfort resulting from muggy feeling. But, there are following disadvantages if no stockings or socks are worn.
1. The toes will be attached with and stained with dyed material of the leather or fiber because of the toes keeping to the front end of the shoes.
2. The foot will sweat to produce wet and slippery substance between the sole and the foot and it causes a problem of hygiene.
3. It results in friction between the toes and the sole and it is easy to injure the skin and a feeling of pain especially when the users wear sandals.
Nevertheless, the traditional socks or stockings are not suitable for some sorts of clothing such as wearing short pants or wearing sandals. Further, the cloth material of the traditional socks or stockings can produce friction with the foot palms and it is easy to produce skin tumors or skin chaps. In addition, the traditional socks and stockings are incapable of decreasing shocks for the foot palms due to they being made with single layer cloth.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAn object of the present invention is to provide a toe sock, which can fit with toes and the front foot palm so as to match shoe wearing and offer better comfort and protection for the foot.
