The sock has rubber gromets on the bottom section to protect the user from slipping when the socks are worn on hard surfaces, such as wood or tile.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a sock designed to be worn on the foot of the user. The present invention includes multiple sections of the sock with each section being made of a designated material. Each section of the sock is attached to the section next to it with a seam made by stitching the two sections to one another. The sock has an anti-slip mechanism built in by having rubber grommets attached to the underside of the foot portion.
