Definitions

• a sock is a knitted garment used for enclosing and covering the human foot and often also the lower part of the leg. Socks are usually aimed at isolating the foot from the outside temperature, absorbing moisture and sweat, and mitigating friction between the foot and the shoe.
• Socks are often made of cotton, wool, polyester, nylon or other materials. They come in many colors and patterns, although the complexity and structure of the patterns is usually limited by the manufacturing techniques in use today.
• a sock comprising a toe area, wherein the toe area is divided to at least two sub-areas, wherein a borderline between at least two adjacent sub-areas is essentially vertical.
• a sock comprising a toe area, wherein the toe area is divided to at least two sub-areas, wherein a borderline between at least two adjacent sub-areas extends essentially parallel to a central axis of the sock.
• a sock comprising a toe area, wherein the toe area is divided to at least two sub-areas, wherein a borderline between at least two adjacent sub-areas comprises a vertical component.

• the toe area and/or the heel area may be knitted according to the three-dimensional "needle by needle selection" process.
• Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an exemplary sock, shown at 100.
• Sock 100 may be schematically divided into three areas:
• a toe area such as toe area 110, that may include a first toe sub- area (“FITOE”), such as FITOE 106, and a second toe sub-area (“SETOE”), such as SETOE 108;
• FITOE first toe sub- area

• Exemplary sock 100 may be intended to fit the right foot of a user. It will be understood by persons of skill in the art that the present disclosure applies also to a sock (not shown) that may fit the left foot or a user — such sock (not shown) may be an identical mirror image of sock 100 described herein. In other embodiments (not shown), a pair of socks may include two socks that are not identical mirror images of each other — for example, when a user has feet of different shapes and/or sizes, or when socks with different characteristics are otherwise required.
• Toe area 110 and/or heel area 150 of sock 100 may include multiple combinations of yarn types, yarn thicknesses, yam colors, knitting types and the like. Examples of such combinations, as well as other characteristics of toe area
• Exemplary toe area 110 shown in Fig. 1 may be an area essentially surrounding or covering the toes of a user's foot when sock 100 is worn — whereby "surrounding" may include both surrounding the top side of the toes (which may lie essentially under 110) and surrounding the bottom side of the toes (not shown).
• a toe area may essentially surround only the top side of the toes or, alternatively, only the bottom side of the toes.
• a toe area may have a more complex pattern.
• a toe area may surround portion(s) of the top side of the toes and portion(s) of the bottom side of the toes, as well as optionally include further areas of the sock essentially covering other portion(s) of the user's foot.
• Toe area 110 may include, as already noted, FITOE 106 and SETOE 108.
• Exemplary FITOE 106 may essentially cover a big toe of a user's foot, whereas exemplary SETOE 108 may essentially cover the rest of the user's toes.
• a toe area such as toe area 210
• FITOE 206 may essentially cover a big toe of a user's foot,
• SETOE 208 may essentially cover the two toes next to the big toe, and TITOE
• 212 may essentially cover the two toes farthest from the big toe.
• Other embodiments may include a plurality of sub-areas that may essentially correspond to the location of different toes. Furthermore, sub-areas
• a toe area shown at 110 in Fig. 1 and at 210 in Fig. 2 may include sub-areas, as described above, that may essentially cover and/or correspond to the location of the user's toes. However, further embodiments may include sub-areas that do not necessarily correspond to the location of the user's toes, but rather be laid out in different pattern(s) and/or path(s).
• a toe area such as toe area 310
• FITOE 306 may have an essentially prolonged oval shape which may extend from approximately above the user's big toe, about the tip of the big toe, and then under the big toe.
• SETOE 308 may essentially constitute the rest of toe area 310 not contained within FITOE 206.
• a toe area may include further combinations of sub-areas, having various shapes, sizes, layouts, patterns and/or paths, either corresponding to the location of the user's toes or not. It will become apparent to those of skill in the art, that the embodiments of a toe area shown at 110, 210 and 310 in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, represent merely three examples of possible shapes, sizes, layouts, patterns and/or paths of sub-areas of a toe area. Those of skill in the art will recognize that various other possibilities and combinations may exist, all of which are within the intended scope of this disclosure.
• Sub-areas such as FITOE 106 and SETOE 108 of Fig. 1, FITOE 206, SETOE 208 and TITOE 212 of Fig. 2, and FITOE 306 and SETOE 308 of Fig. 3, may differ than one another in various characteristics.
• different sub-areas may essentially differ in yarn types, yarn thicknesses, yam colors, knitting methods and the like — such differences may be reflected in a cloth having different attributes.
• one or more sub-areas of a toe area may share some or all of the same characteristics, whereas other one or more sub-areas of that same toe area may share different or similar sets of some or all of the same characteristics.
• different sub-areas may be knitted, for example, using the same one or more yarns, but the knitting method used to form each sub-area may result in a sub-area having different textures, thicknesses, structures and/or other attributes.
• the difference in texture, thickness, structure and/or other attributes may be the outcome of using additional combinations of similar or different yarns with similar or different knitting methods, across different sub-areas.
• Some of the possible textures, thicknesses and structures of the cloth forming sub-areas may be essentially resulting from different methods of knitting, such as terry- knitting (a knitting method often producing a towel-like cloth), plain mesh knitting (a knitting method often producing an essentially flat cloth) and/or tuck stitching (a knitting or stitching method often producing a denser, heavier cloth). These and other knitting methods may be performed in conjunction with different or similar types, thicknesses and/or colors of yarn.
• sub-areas such as FITOE 106 and SETOE 108, may essentially abut each other along a borderline, such as first borderline 104, and may both abut a residual area of a sock, such as residual area 102 of sock 100 along a borderline, such as second borderline 108.
• FITOE 106, SETOE 108 and residual area 102 may be essentially functionally connected or attached to each other by means of stitching. More advantageously, FITOE 106, SETOE 108 and residual area 102 may be essentially integrally formed by means of knitting. Integrally forming these three areas together may be preferred over stitching for multiple reasons.

• Sock 400 may have a borderline, such as second borderline 408, which may be identical or similar to second borderline 108 of Fig. 1.
• Second borderline 408 may essentially extend over the top half of sock 400, meaning, it may run above the top side of the user's foot when sock 400 is worn, rather than below the bottom side of the user's foot.
• a second borderline may run below the bottom side of the user's foot.
• Sock 400 may also have a toe area, such as toe area 410, which may be identical or similar to toe area 110 of Fig. 1, and a residual area, such as residual area 402, which may be identical or similar to residual area 102 of Fig. 1. Residual area 402 and toe area 410 may be essentially stitched to one another along second borderline 408.
• Such stitching may be advantageous, in some cases, essentially due to the characteristics of a knitting machine which may be used to knit sock 400, or due to other reasons.
• Such knitting machine may be a circular knitting machine, which may knit a sock, such as sock 400, in essentially circular patterns.
• the essentially final product of such a circular knitting machine may be an essentially tubular cloth, open at its two ends (not shown). One of the open ends may be at second borderline 408, although an open position of a sock is not shown in Fig. 4.
• the tubular cloth may be closed at one end by stitching together a toe area, such as toe area 410, and a residual area, such as residual area 402.
• a toe area such as toe area 410
• a residual area such as residual area 402.
• Such stitching may be sometimes preferred over integrally forming toe area 410 and residual area 402. Firstly, such stitching is common among current regular socks, and therefore it may not be decoratively interfering. Secondly, such stitching may be, on some instances and/or when using certain knitting machines, faster and thereby more efficient than integrally forming toe area 410 and residual area 402.
• a sock such as sock 100
• a plurality of sub-areas such as FITOE 106 and SETOE 108
• a plurality of sub-areas may allow satisfying specific, individual needs of a certain toe or a group of toes, and/or needs of other part(s) of the user's foot.
• Such needs may be medical needs, needs pertaining to the user's comfort and coziness and/or needs of protecting certain area(s) of the foot against bruising, fluids, sharp objects, undesired temperature and/or other environmental conditions that may be considered by the user as generally undesired.
• a sock such as sock 100
• at least one sub-area such as FITOE 106 or SETOE 108
• a smoother cloth may prevent rash and/or inflammation of the skin in area(s) of the foot essentially adjacent to that cloth.
• a thicker cloth and/or terry may essentially absorb sweat and/or other liquids, and may additionally isolate part(s) of the foot from undesired high or low temperatures.
• a sock such as sock 100

• usage of yarns of various colors to essentially form differently colored sub-areas such as FITOE 106 and SETOE 108
• an optionally also a residual area such as residual area 102, may result in a colorful, eye-catching and attractive sock, such as sock 100.
• Exemplary heel area 150 shown in Fig. 1 may be an area essentially surrounding or covering the heel of a user's foot when sock 100 is worn. In other embodiments (not shown), a heel area may surround portion(s) of the user's heel, as well as portion(s) of other part(s) of the user's foot, such as the ankle.
• Heel area 150 may essentially cover the heel of a user's foot, and may have the general shape of a hemisphere. When viewed perspectively from the side, heel area 150 may appear to have an outline with two 90° angles two of its opposite sides — one of these angles, located on the right side of sock 100, is shown at a, and the opposite angle is not visible in Fig. 1. In other embodiments, the angles may have different measurements — for example, 95°, 85°, 81° or the like. The essentially hemispherical shape of heel area 150 may become more apparent when viewed from the rear side of sock 100. Such view is illustrated in Fig. 5, in which a heel area, that may be identical or similar to heel area 150 of Fig.
• heel area 550 may have a round or a somewhat oval outline when viewed from the rear.
