Abstract
Abstract This sock is of the type described in the head patent i.e. arranged to constitute air cushions interposed between the wearer''s foot and the boot. It consists of a thin, flexible and air-impervious envelope divided longitudinally into a number, for example five, of internal, air-tight compartments of relatively great dimensions, each of them forming an air cushion, since air is contained in each of them, this air being adapted to flow from one compartment to another through throttling passages. These socks can easy by the manufactured commercially scale, in a trouble-free manner, and are adapted to prove entirely satisfactory to the wearer.
