[0011] [Figure 1]FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of a sock in a flat state. [Diagram 2] 2 is a three-dimensional view showing the state in which the sock of the embodiment is worn on a foot and a leather shoe is worn. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] (Present embodiment) Hereinafter, one embodiment of socks will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. The socks of this embodiment are socks for business use.

[0013] (Socks 1) As shown in FIG. 1, the sock 1 includes a foot section 4 extending from the toe section 2 to the heel section 3, and a body section 6 extending from the heel section 3 to the opening section 5. FIG. 1 shows the sock 1 laid flat, and the following description will be based on the state laid flat. The sock 1 is characterized in that the body length LB, which is the length of the body section 6, is longer than the foot length LF, which is the length of the foot section 4. The sock 1 is a business sock, and is different from a sports sock in which the body length LB is shorter than the foot length LF. The yarn of the sock 1 is preferably 32 count. Leather shoes for business use are harder than sports shoes. For this reason, it is preferable to wear the sock 1 when wearing leather shoes to prevent blisters.

[0014] The sock 1 comprises a first pile section P1, a second pile section P2, a first support section S1, and a second support section S2. The first pile section P1 and the second pile section P2 are sections made of pile knitting. The pile knitting is only visible on the inner side of the sock 1, and is difficult to see from the outer side of the sock 1. In FIG. 1, the first pile section P1 and the second pile section P2 are indicated by diagonal lines for easy understanding. The length from the tip of the toe section 2 to the extension of the gore line GL of the heel section 3 is defined as the instep length LT.

[0015] The first pile portion P1 is provided in an area where the length LPA from the tip of the toe portion 2 of the instep length LT is between 15% or more and 90% or less. Preferably, the first pile portion P1 is provided in an area where the length LPA from the toe portion 2 of the instep length LT is between 25% or more and 80% or less. More preferably, the first pile portion P1 is provided in an area where the length LPA from the toe portion 2 of the instep length LT is between 35% or more and 70% or less. The length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 65% or more of the instep length LT. Preferably, the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 45% or more of the instep length LT. More preferably, the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 25% or more of the instep length LT. The length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 75% or less of the instep length LT. Preferably, the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 55% or less of the instep length LT. More preferably, the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is 35% or less of the instep length LT. If the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1 is less than 25% of the instep length LT, the area of ​​the pile portion will be reduced and blisters may become more likely to occur. Furthermore, since the amount of yarn used increases when using pile knitting, the amount of yarn used can be reduced by limiting the length LP1 of the first pile portion P1.

[0016] The pile width WP of the first pile section P1 is such that, when laid flat, the end on the sole side is located within a range of 40% to 60% from the end on the instep side of the foot width WF of the foot section 4. Preferably, the pile width WP of the first pile section P1 is such that, when laid flat, the end on the sole side is located within a range of 40% to 50% from the end on the instep side of the foot width WF of the foot section 4. That is, most of the first pile section P1 is provided on the instep side of the foot section 4. As an example, the first pile section P1 is preferably provided from the end on the instep side to the midpoint of the foot width WF. And, it is preferable that the first pile section P1 is not provided on the sole side of the foot section 4. Since the amount of yarn used increases when the pile section is made into a pile knit, the amount of yarn used can be reduced by limiting the range of the pile section to an area where blisters are likely to occur.

[0017] The second pile portion P2 is provided all around the circumference and in a range including the heel portion 3, the ankle portion 8, and the ankle portion 9. The second pile portion P2 is provided in a portion that comes into contact with the opening or tongue of the shoe when the shoe is worn. The second pile portion P2 is provided in a range in which the length LP2 from the apex of the heel portion 3 through which the gore line GL passes is included within a range of 20% to 70% of the body length LB, which is the length of the body portion 6. Preferably, the second pile portion P2 is provided in a range in which the length LP2 from the heel portion 3 of the body length LB is included within a range of 30% to 60%. More preferably, the second pile portion P2 is provided in a range in which the length LP2 from the heel portion 3 of the body length LB is included within a range of 40% to 50%.

[0018] The first support part S1 is a part in which rubber is woven around the entire circumference of the foot part 4. In FIG. 1, the first support part S1 is indicated by dots for easy understanding. The first support part S1 is provided in a region of the first pile part P1 closer to the gore line GL. Preferably, the first support part S1 is provided adjacent to the first pile part P1. The length LS1 of the first support part S1 is 5% to 45% of the instep length LT. Preferably, the length LS1 of the first support part S1 is 15% to 35% of the instep length LT. More preferably, the length LS1 of the first support part S1 is 20% to 30% of the instep length LT.

[0019] The second support part S2 is a part in which rubber is woven around the entire circumference of the opening part 5 of the body part 6. In FIG. 1, the second support part S2 is indicated by dots for easy understanding. The length LS2 of the second support part S2 is a length from the opening part 5 of the body length LB to 20% to 40% of the body length LB. Preferably, the length LS2 of the second support part S2 is a length from the opening part 5 of the body length LB to 20% to 30% of the body length LB. More preferably, the length LS2 of the second support part S2 is a length from the opening part 5 of the body length LB to 20% of the body length LB.

[0020] (Action of this embodiment) Next, the operation of the sock 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 2 shows the state in which the sock 1 is put on a foot and a leather shoe 10 is also put on. The leather shoe 10 has a tongue 12 and is fastened with laces.

[0021] When the sock 1 is worn, the first pile section P1 is located on the instep, the first support section S1 is located on the arch, the second pile section P2 is located in the area covering the heel, malleoli and ankle, and the second support section S2 is located above the ankle.

[0022] The first pile portion P1 is located at a portion where the height of the instep 11 of the leather shoe 10 is lowered, and covers the portion that is likely to come into contact with the instep 11 of the leather shoe 10. Therefore, the first pile portion P1 reduces the impact with the instep 11 of the leather shoe 10, and prevents blisters due to the contact. In addition, because the first support portion S1 is located at the arch of the foot, it is possible to prevent the first pile portion P1 from shifting out of position relative to the foot, and further prevent blisters due to contact with the instep 11 of the leather shoe 10.

[0023] The second pile portion P2 is provided at a position that contacts the tongue 12 of the leather shoe 10. The tongue 12 of the leather shoe 10 is located on the inside of the leather shoe 10, so it often comes into contact with the foot, and blisters are likely to occur. Since the second pile portion P2 is provided at a position that contacts the tongue 12 of the leather shoe 10, blisters can be suppressed. In addition, the second pile portion P2 is provided at a position that contacts the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10. The opening 13 of the leather shoe 10 comes into line contact with the foot, and blisters are likely to occur. Since the second pile portion P2 is provided at a position that contacts the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10, blisters due to contact with the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10 can be suppressed. In addition, since the second support portion S2 is located at the opening portion 5 of the sock 1, it is possible to suppress the second pile portion P2 from shifting position relative to the foot, and it is possible to further suppress blisters due to contact with the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10.

[0024] (Effects of this embodiment) Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The sock 1 is provided with a first pile section P1 having a length of at least 25% of the instep length LT in a region of the instep 7 between a position 15% or more from the toe 2 and a position 90% or less of the instep length LT. Therefore, the first pile section P1 can reduce friction with the instep 11 of the leather shoe 10. The first support section S1 prevents the first pile section P1 from shifting out of position, so that the first pile section P1 is less likely to shift out of the area where blisters are likely to occur. In addition, the second pile section P2 can reduce friction between the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10 and the ankle and ankle of the foot. Therefore, the occurrence of blisters can be suppressed.

[0025] (2) In the sock 1, the length LS1 of the first support portion S1 is 5% to 45% of the instep length LT. This limits the area tightened by the rubber, improving comfort.

[0026] (3) The sock 1 has the second pile section P2 located in a range where the length LP2 from the apex of the heel section 3 of the body length LB is 20% or more and 70% or less. Therefore, the second pile section P2 is located at the ankle section 8 and the ankle section 9, which further reduces friction with the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10.

[0027] (4) In the sock 1, the first pile portion P1 is provided in an area ranging from 40% to 60% of the foot width WF from the instep of the foot portion 4. Therefore, most of the first pile portion P1 can be provided on the instep side of the foot portion 4.

[0028] (5) The sock 1 has the second pile portion P2 at a position that contacts the tongue 12 of the leather shoe 10. This makes it possible to prevent blisters caused by friction with the tongue 12. (6) The sock 1 is provided with the second support portion S2 around the entire circumference of the opening portion 5. This prevents the body portion 6 from slipping down, thereby preventing blisters caused by the body portion 6 being misaligned.

[0029] (7) The body length LB of the socks 1 is longer than the foot length LF. As a result, the opening portion 5 of the socks 1 is positioned higher than the opening of the leather shoe 10, and the second pile portion P2 can cover the area that comes into contact with the opening 13 of the leather shoe 10. This makes it possible to prevent blisters from occurring in business socks.

[0030] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the body length LB, which is the length of the body portion 6, is longer than the foot length LF, which is the length of the foot portion 4. However, the body length LB may be the same as the foot length LF. Furthermore, as long as the second pile portion P2 covers the ankles, the body length LB may be shorter than the foot length LF.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the second support portion S2 is provided around the entire circumference of the opening portion 5 of the body portion 6. However, the second support portion S2 may be omitted. In the above embodiment, the second pile portion P2 is provided at a position that contacts the tongue 12 of the leather shoe 10. However, if the wearer is wearing a shoe that does not have a tongue, the second pile portion P2 may be provided at a position that contacts the opening of the shoe.

[0033] In the above embodiment, there may be a gap between the first support portion S1 and the first pile portion P1. In the above embodiment, there may or may not be a gap between the first support portion S1 and the second pile portion P2.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the yarn of the sock 1 is 32 count. However, the yarn of the sock 1 may be 40 count, 60 count, etc., which is used for business socks. [Explanation of symbols]
