The anatomical isotonic sock and method for knitting the sock provide enhanced protection and cushioning comfort to the foot of the wearer and is form-fitting and remains so after prolonged periods of use and numerous launderings. The sock has a knit foot and includes a relatively thick density of terry loops formed of at least three terry yarns in the ball and heel portions of the foot for supplementing and protecting the fatty pads so as to provide a therapeutic and preventative benefit to the foot of the wearer. A relatively thin density of terry loops formed of at least one terry yarn is knit in an arch portion and an instep portion of the foot and an intermediate density of terry loops formed of two terry yarns is knit in a toe portion. A stretchable body yarn is knit throughout the foot and cooperates with the terry loop yarn so as to maintain the terry loops in a substantially upstanding position thereby enhancing the cushioning characteristics of the terry loops in the sock over prolonged periods of use and numerous launderings.

Ce chausson (10) présente un pied en mailles et une densité relativement élevée de boucles constituées d'au moins trois fils d'éponge bouclée dans les parties de l'avant-pied (34) et du talon (16) du pied de manière à augmenter la protection des coussinets adipeux et à assurer un effet thérapeutique et préventif pour le pied de l'utilisateur. Une densité relativement faible de boucles constituées d'au moins un fil d'éponge bouclée est tricotée dans la partie de la voûte (22) ainsi que dans une partie du coup-de-pied, et une densité intermédiaire de boucles constituées de deux fils de boucles est tricotée dans la pointe (20). Un fil de renfort élastique tricoté dans tout le pied agit conjointement avec le fil de boucle de manière à maintenir les boucles dans une position relativement verticale et à accroître l'effet d'amortissement assuré par les boucles dans le chausson sur une durée d'utilisation prolongée et après de nombreux lavages.
