Shin Protecting Sock Assembly

Abstract

A shin protecting sock assembly includes a sock that is worn on a user's lower leg and foot during athletic activities. The sock has a pocket and a leg portion. The leg portion has a first grip section to engage the user's lower leg when the sock is worn. In this way the leg portion is inhibited from falling downwardly on the user's lower leg. The leg portion has a second grip section to engage the user's lower leg when the sock is worn. In this way the leg portion is inhibited from falling downwardly on the user's lower leg. A shield is insertable into the pocket such that the shield is positioned over the user's shin when the sock is worn. The shield is comprised of a rigid material to protect the user's shin from impact.
