ABSTRACT:
A padded sock made from blanks of spun polyester fleece material and having flatlock seams is lightweight and quick-drying and provides improved warmth, comfort and a contour fit without causing blisters or the like. In one embodiment, the sock is made from a first single-piece generally rectangular blank or pattern of fleece material and has peripheral marginal edges selectively secured in juxtaposed relation by a flatlock seam to define a foot receiving portion and a leg encompassing portion. Additional shorter length blanks of the fleece material have laterally opposite marginal edges secured in juxtaposed relation to the marginal edges of the first blank by the flatlock seams so as to provide padded toe and heel regions and at least one shin pad area, thereby substantially improving comfort when the sock is worn with many types of outdoor footwear.
