Abstract
A sock includes a foot covering section that covers a wearer's foot when the sock is worn and a tube section that extends over the wearer's ankle and part way up the wearer's calf when the sock is worn. The tube section has a top rim located near the wearer's calf. A sock supporting band of elastic material or the like is located in the tube section near the ankle of the wearer when the sock is worn. The sock supporting band is spaced apart from the top rim of the sock and is located to engage the ankle of the wearer whereby the sock is supported near the wearer's ankle rather than near the wearer's calf.
