Functional Socks

Abstract

Provided are functional socks including cushion members provided at center areas of bottom surfaces of a pair of left and right socks to maintain recessed areas of soles, and shock absorbing units provided at the cushion members and deformed by the weight transmitted to the recessed areas of the soles to attach the soles to shoes. The shock absorbing unit is formed at the bottom surface of the cushion member, and is selectively constituted by one of a honeycomb structure partitioned by a plurality of support ribs, a plurality of holes disposed parallel to a longitudinal direction of the sole, and a plurality of grooves disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the sole. Side coating sections prevent the soles from being pushed outward, front and rear coating sections prevent slippage, and top coating sections attach toes and tops to shoes.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to functional socks, and more particularly, to functional socks that are capable of stably attaching soles to the ground during golf, mountain climbing, and correction of plantar fasciitis or flat feet, and preventing movement such as slippage or the like locally generated from each area of soles due to weight movement.[0003]2. Discussion of Related Art[0004]In general, functional socks, which are widely used by many golfers, are formed of a material such as cotton or the like and have good effects such as thermal insulation, ventilation, sweat absorption, impact absorbency, and so on.[0005]While conventional functional socks have thick bottom surfaces to absorb impact and provide cushioning to improve impact absorbency, since movement such as slippage or the like of soles generated during golf, mountain climbing, or correction of plantar fasciitis or flat feet cannot be easily prevented, stable balance of ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides functional socks that can attach to the ground securely for golf, mountain climbing, and correction of plantar fasciitis or flat feet. These socks prevent movement and slippage caused by weight movement. Additionally, front coating sections help prevent slippage of the big toes, while rear coating sections prevent slippage of the heels.

Problems solved by technology

While conventional functional socks have thick bottom surfaces to absorb impact and provide cushioning to improve impact absorbency, since movement such as slippage or the like of soles generated during golf, mountain climbing, or correction of plantar fasciitis or flat feet cannot be easily prevented, stable balance of a lower body cannot be maintained.

However, while the conventional functional socks can prevent slippage between the soles and golf shoes due to the anti-slippage structure upon a swing motion of golf, the slippage generated from each area of the soles upon weight movement according to the swing motion cannot be prevented, and accurate application of a force to the lower body or stability of the weight upon each motion of the swing cannot be maintained.

Accordingly, it is difficult to securely support the lower body and perform a stable swing motion.
