Abstract
A slipper sock having improved wearer comfort and providing enhanced foot protection is described. The slipper sock includes a sock having thickened padded portions along the ball and heel portions, with a relatively thinner arch portion therebetween. The device also includes a footbed having a first receptacle for underlying the ball portion of the sock and a second receptacle for underlying the heel portion of the sock. The footbed further includes a lip surrounding substantially the entire dimension of each of the receptacles, and the footbed is positioned so that the first receptacle matingly interfaces with the thickened ball portion of the sock and the second receptacle matingly interfaces with the thickened heel portion of the sock. The footbed also desirably includes at least one cavity, with an insert having relatively less resistance to compression than the footbed being positioned within the cavity. An outer layer of leather or other durable material is secured about a lower surface of the footbed, and side and instep portions of the sock, to define the slipper portion of the slipper sock. The outer layer preferably is constructed to provide a moccasin-like appearance.
