Embodiment Construction

[0019] The sock A selected as an exemplary embodiment (FIG. 1) consists of a foot part 1 and a leg part 2. The foot part 1 has a toe area 11, a heel area 12 and a tread area 13 situated between the toe area and the heel area. The areas 11, 12 and 13 may be made of a reinforced material, as shown in the exemplary embodiment. Use of combinations of materials such as sheared wool with elastic fiber materials, e.g., Elasthane is also possible. The arrangement of additional pads or padding in the aforementioned areas is also possible. The leg part 2 is provided with a cuff 21 on its end facing away from the foot part 1.

[0020] The pad 3, designed essentially in the form of a rod, is provided on the sock A in the area of the ankle. It has essentially a vertical alignment. The pad 3 has a length partially protruding into the shoe in the condition in which it is worn in a shoe B, while partially protruding out of the shoe. The pad 3 is consequently arranged in the transition of the shoe leg...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is the National Stage of International Application Serial No. PCT / DE2005 / 001446, filed on Aug. 17, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to a sock, in particular for application in athletic activities. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Human feet are often accommodated in tight shoes. This is the case in particular when the person moves rapidly and a great deal, e.g., in athletic activities. However, the tight shoes per se cause increased perspiration by the feet. In human athletic activity, this perspiration output is above average. Due to the accumulation of perspiration in the shoes and / or socks, there is an increased risk of blisters developing on the foot, so there have been efforts to facilitate the transport of perspiration out of the shoe and / or sock. [0004] DE 297 15 762 U1 discloses a climate regulating stocking, in particular for use in leisure athletic activities such as jogging, inline s...
