Nitrile coated sock

Abstract

A sock suitable for wearing with shoes and protecting feet from contact with dirt and debris. The sock is coated on the heel and sole with a protective coating of nitrile. The interior of the sock has a band of nitrile in the area of the sock that covers the heel. The exterior coating protects the feet from the drying effects of prolonged contact with dirt. The interior band, when used in conjunction with an emollient applied to the heel, holds the emollient in contact with the skin, allowing the skin to be softened and protected. The sock can be laundered by virtue of its properties, and reused.
