  Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for designing optimal sports socks by selecting three types of commercially available sports socks with designs based on thickness, analyzing the tissue and thickness characteristics of each part, and measuring and analyzing plantar pressure when wearing sports socks. The thickness of sports socks was organized in the order of Heel > Toe > Meta > Ankle > Upper, with the heel and toes being thicker to withstand pressure and the upper part being thinner for breathability. That is, SS03 tended to be thicker in the toes, heel, and ankle parts, while SS02 was thicker in the upper part and meta part. In the case of knitted fabrics, most of the socks were made of flat fabrics, and the ankle part used a general tube type and rubber piece structure for better wearing comfort, and some meta parts used a jacquard pattern for decoration. The analysis of plantar pressure in the toes, arch, and heel areas of the soles of the feet confirmed that the pressure distribution was affected by the thickness of the sock area.
