The present invention provides a pile sock which can lighten a sense of tiredness and improve the air permeability. Said pile sock is further provided with a function for preventing slippage as well as excellent cushioning properties. A sole portion of the pile sock is knitted almost thoroughly in pile stitches. Said sock is excellent in the cushioning properties and able to reduce load to a foot. It also has good sweat-absorption characteristics. A toe-side section of the pile sock works effectively to prevent slippage. An arch region of the sole portion has a smaller area of the pile stitch segments than an area of the plain stitch segments in comparison with a ground contact region of the sole portion. Thereby this pile sock is superior in providing a sense of stimulation in sole of the foot and also a sense of fitness upon wearing the sock. At the same time, this pile sock generally produces a superior effect in air permeability to the convention alone. Accordingly, said sock can reduce the tiredness during wearing thus to be well suited for physical exercise, such as walking. Arranging the plain stitch segments and the pile stitch segments in a lattice pattern allows the sense of stimulation and air permeability to be provided uniformly. |
