This invention relates to a new and useful improvement relating to the treatment of athletic type socks so as to prevent irritation and blisters of the feet.
It is a well known fact that active persons frequently have foot irritations from shoes when engaged in athletics or other activities, particularly in initial or training portions of sport programs. This irritation of the feet is primarily caused by the relative movement of the foot within the sock in that such relative movement causes friction which usually results in discomfort and irritation and even incapacitating blisters. Many medications have been provided to treat irritated feet but such medications are only intended to give relief to the damage already done to feet rather than providing a preventative to the actual source of the trouble.
