What is "toe socks"

n. (toe sock English)

Toe socks (also known as fingersocks, glove socks, 5-toe socks or digital socks) are socks that have been knitted so that each toe is individually encased the same way as fingers within a glove.

All sock lengths are available as toe socks, from no-show style to anklet and ankle socks through to knee-high and over-knee socks. They are also available with rubberised undersides, as an alternative to barefeet for yoga. Toe socks are designed and available for both men and women, although traditionally are targeted toward women.
