ABSTRACT:
The present athletic socks are particularly suitable for jogging and running and are provided with shock absorber cushion pads in the heel (11), ball (15), and in the inner portion (16a) of the arch area (16) and being formed by a sufficiently greater amount of yarn being knit in these portions than the amount of yarn knit in the outer portion of the arch (16b). The shock absorber cushion pads protect and cushion the heel, ball and inner portion of the arch of the wearer's foot and reduce the shock normally imparted to the heel, ball and inner portion of the arch of the foot so that normal articulation of the bones in the feet takes place when the wearer is jogging and running. The shock absorber cushion pads are illustrated as being formed by providing a greater density of terry loops in the heel (11), ball (15), and inner portion (16a) of the arch than in the outer portion (16b) of the arch to enhance the cushioning provided in the corresponding portions of each sock.
