Benefits of technology

The present invention introduces a support and constriction points in a sock to promote unrestricted blood flow and improved movement. The sock has a heal, arch, and toe portion with five finger targeting points that can be selected and worn with regular shoes. The targeted points combined with the five finger sock further enhance the benefits of improved movement, such as increased blood flow, movement, vasodilation, and comfort. The length of the sock can vary from knee high to just above the ankle.

Problems solved by technology

While constriction may be targeting at a particular point of the customers foot, there is currently no sock which provides for a combination of support and constriction points that specifically targets and is conducive to blood flow of the common users foot.

first embodiment

[0024]In the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 of the diagrams, it is illustrated a five finger sock in accordance with this disclosure. The diagram illustrates a sock with an inlet section 4 and a sole section 5, together forming a wearable sock that covers the foot of a human. The inlet section allows a human foot to enter into the sock, wherein the heel, arch, sole and toes of the foot are covered by the sole section of the foot. Moreover, the sock has a heel compression section1, an arch compression section 2 and a toe section 3. The said heel section 1 comprises of a compression zone characterized in that the material in the compression zone exerts pressure onto the heel of a foot producing a significant compression effect as compared to the adjacent zones. The said arch section 2 comprises of a compression zone characterized in that the material in the compression zone exerts pressure on the arch of a foot producing a constriction effect in the targeted arch section. The sa...
