Bootie A sock-like over-boot protector worn to minimize contamination. 

Measurements of actual house dust in sampled residences where people use lawn chemicals is more disturbing. Even if the immediate exposure to these chemicals-now clinging to boots, shirtsleeves, and socks-did not prove a risk, the chemicals that hitchhike with us indoors have a more complex fate. Now released from clothing and accumulating in the home, chemicals with purportedly short half-lives begin to become more persistent. By settling in house dust, and therefore on carpets, the highest level of exposure falls on those close to the floor, which includes pets, but more importantly, toddlers, infants, and small children, who are disproportionately sensitive to the possible effects of these chemicals. ... 

When we had gone slightly past the place where Dennis and I had parted, we came upon something that could not be fit into any set of expectations. This was Dennis s ruana, a short blanket worn by South American peasants, and his shirt discarded in the middle of the path. Next came a pair of pants and then further on two sweat socks. And, though I was to learn this only later, his glasses and his boots had also been hurled away. We followed this trail of cast-off garments back to the hut in the forest. There we found Ev...

A change of clothes and shoes - Check clothing every 6 months and remove clothes that no longer fit or are unsuitable for seasonal weather. Remember to include underwear, socks, sturdy shoes or work boots, and winter or summer clothes a.s needed.

Footwear, including different types of socks, stockings, boots, and shoes, form the largest category of accessories. These are the garments that are worn on the feet for several purposes, such as adornment and protecting the feet against the environment. 

Hazardous Material (Hazmat) Products. Hazardous-waste disposal is not always carried out effectively, so an entire industry has grown out of spills that need to be cleaned up. Hazmat team members will wear differing types of hazmat suits, often with ventilators, depending on the characteristics of the hazardous material to be cleaned up. Specially manufactured boots, gloves, and socks are also part of the necessary clothing. Those involved in hazmat-cleanup applications will use spill kits that enable first... 

Like hands, feet experience less vigorous blood circulation in the cold, making them susceptible to serious injuries. Winter s special circumstances may warrant seasonal-specific footwear. If exposure to rain or snow is likely, those favorite leather boots that are worn in milder weather should be left in the closet. Insulated rubber boots are much more effective at acting as a barrier to precipitation. PPG for the feet should be larger than the size normally worn, in order to accommodate thick socks and, beneath them, thin cotton liners that provide a layer of insulation. 

Hibiscus sabdariffa or in common name roselle, is an annual fibre plant, has been found to be an important source of fibres for a number of application since ancient times. The bast fibre has high potential as a reinforcing fibre in polymer composites. Hibiscus sabdariffa plant fibre is abundantly found in the Himalayan region, especially in Himachal Pradesh. It is traditionally used by the locals as socks, boots, mats, ropes, bags, etc. 

Nowadays, possible applications include the areas of medicine and sports. Above all, this pressure-sensory sock is perfect for custom-fitting ski boots (see Figure 4.31b Alpha-fit, n.d.). 

Optimized shoe-sock systems can prevent feet from overheating, and bacterial and fungal infections, and thus help to increase soldiers performance. The thermal insulation and breathability of combat boots, gloves, and socks can be evaluated with the thermal regulation model, the Sweating Foot. To achieve fit and function, the Sweating Foot enables a realistic simulation of the special thermal characteristics of human extremities, and delivers reliable and differentiated results on thermal insulation and breathability. 

Fibre type and heating rate appeared to have little effect on the overall heat content or thermal performance of the treated fabrics. The PEG-coated fabrics produced by the Mitsui Corporation were used as ski and sportswear. Other thermo-regulated textile products, such as blankets, sleeping bags, underwear, jackets, sports garments, socks, ski boots, helmets, etc., have come into the market since 1997. ...
