Sock with enlarged toe box

Abstract

The embodiments include a sock that is able to keep the toe box of a shoe from creasing through the utilization of an enlarged toe section of the sock. The toe section may be enlarged by the addition of more material in the toe box area. The material may be the same as the rest of the sock.
