A garment 10, preferably a sock, comprises a grip coating located on both inner and outer surfaces of a sole portion 12 so as to generate in use friction between a wearer's skin and the garment 10 and between the garment 10 and an external contact surface. The grip coating includes a first array of grip elements 14 located on the inner surface of the sole section 12 and a second array of grip elements 16 located on the outer surface. The first and second arrays are arranged relative to each other, and offset so that they do not overlie or overlap each other. The sock further includes a stretchable band 18 located between grip elements 14, 16 located on a front section (20, figure 2) and heel section (22, figure 2) of the sole portion 12. The grip elements 14, 16 are preferably formed of a tacky silicone material. |
