Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a type of hosiery that is designed to protect the skin of the foot from rubbing against footwear. These hosiery items are made with a material that has a slideable surface, which makes them easy to wear and remove. The patent describes different types of hosiery that can be used with different types of footwear, such as high-heeled shoes or slingback shoes. The hosiery can have a gripping surface to provide a better fit and comfort. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more comfortable and protective layer of clothing for the foot that can be easily worn and removed.

Problems solved by technology

In general, hosieries serve as an intermediate layer between a wearer's foot and footwear to protect the skin of the wearer's foot from being rubbed directly against the footwear, since excessive rubbing of the foot may cause calluses and blisters to develop on the foot among other issues.

Abstract

A slip-resistant hosiery is provided to reduce slipping of a foot within a shoe. In an example embodiment, a slip-resistant hosiery includes a body adapted to cover a foot of a wearer, a first gripping surface positioned at an outer surface section of the body, and a second gripping surface positioned at an interior surface section of the body. The first and second gripping surfaces are adapted to cover a posterior surface of a heel of the foot. The gripping surfaces may be at least semi-transparent. In another example embodiment, a slip-resistant hosiery includes a body adapted to cover a foot of a wearer, a first gripping surface positioned at an outer surface section of the body adapted to cover a surface above the plantar surface of the foot, and the first gripping surface is at least semi-transparent.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The following generally relates to hosiery.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]Various types of hosieries, such as tights, pantyhose, leggings and socks are well known in the art. In general, hosieries serve as an intermediate layer between a wearer's foot and footwear to protect the skin of the wearer's foot from being rubbed directly against the footwear, since excessive rubbing of the foot may cause calluses and blisters to develop on the foot among other issues.[0003]More specifically, a number of different types of hosieries are often produced using a material that has an easily slideable surface. For example, pantyhose are close-fitting legwear that are typically made of fabric such as nylon or other materials blended with nylon. Pantyhose are often worn for variety of purposes, such as to keep the feet and the legs warm, to keep the feet and the legs protected from the sun, or to appear fashionable. Although a variety of different footwear can be worn in ...
