That is, four surrounding cavities 15 are arranged in parallel (meaning side-by-side) at predetermined intervals by a partition member 14 (shown by a broken line) inside the bag-shaped tip portion 13 of the sock body 12. Is formed. By forming these four surrounding cavities 15, a finger storage for accommodating the respective fingers 5 to 9 between the surrounding cavities 15 and outside the surrounding cavities 15 (15a, 15b) on both sides. A space 16 is formed.
[0017]
Here, the tip portion 13 refers to a portion of the sock main body 12 ranging from the front end 13a of the sock main body 12 to several cm rearward. Of course, the tip 13 is not limited to the above range, but may be wider or narrower than the above range.
