ABSTRACT:
An improved sock wherein moisture distribution, wicking, evaporation and other phases of control, as well as stretch and cushioning, are all managed by the sock construction. The toe and heel portions are knit predominately, or entirely, of hydrophilic yarn while the instep portion extending therebetween is knit of hydrophobic yarn so that moisture absorbed from the wearer'foot by the hydrophilic yarn in the toe and heel portions is transferred by wicking action into the hydrophobic yarn in the instep portion to be evaporated therefrom.
