ABSTRACT:
Each embodiment of the ski sock of the present invention includes additional yarn knit in plated relationship with the body yarns to form a thickened fabric area extending down the front portion of the leg of the sock to cushion and protect the front portion of the leg of the wearer from discomfort caused by the front and upper edge of the ski boot. The ski sock also includes a thickened fabric area extending along the rear half of the sock and at least through the heel and sole area to cushion and protect the heel and lower portion of the foot of the wearer. Opposite side panels of thinner fabric are provided between the thickened fabric areas in the front and rear of the sock to reduce the bulk of the fabric. The thinner fabric areas may provide increased stretchability to these areas and to permit the sock to be easily drawn onto and off of the foot and to readily conform to the foot of the wearer. Stretch restricting opposite side panels are provided in the lower portion of the foot, that portion of the foot adapted to fit over the forward portion of the foot and up to the medial portion of the ball of the foot, to limit the stretchability and to provide a snug fit on the forward end of the foot of the wearer.
