ABSTRACT:
An athletic sock garter and method of using a garter are provided which preferably include an elongate strap arranged for encircling a portion of a sock wearer's leg when an athletic sock is positioned thereon so that an inner surface of the elongate strap abuttingly contacts a leg portion of the sock. The elongate strap has at least a portion thereof formed of elastic material. An adjustable fastener is connected to the elongate strap for adjustably fastening the elongate strap about the leg portion of the sock when positioned on a wearer's leg. The adjustable fastener preferably includes a ring member connected to a first end of the elongate strap, a pile fastener material secured to a portion of the outer surface of said elongate strap, and a mating hook fastener material secured to a portion of the outer surface of the elongate strap extending from closely adjacent a second end thereof toward the first end of the elongate strap. Insertion of the second end of the elongate strap through the ring member and folding the hook fastener portion of the elongate strap so as to overlie and positionally align with the pile fastener portion for matingly fastening therewith provides adjustable positioning of the elongate strap around the leg portion of the sock.
