Sock comprising stimulation elements

A sock having a sole, comprising:

• impact zones in the toe region, the ball region, the lateral arch region, and the heel region,
• a non-impact zone in a toe groove region situated between the toe region and the ball region;
• wherein the toe region encompasses a semicircular region abutting and including a front edge of the sole, the heel region encompasses a semicircular region abutting and including a rear edge of the sole, and the lateral arch region encompasses an elongated region abutting and including an outer lateral edge of the sole with respect to a longitudinal axis A of the sole;
• wherein the sole comprises stimulation elements distributed over an entire surface of the toe groove region, and distributed over an entire surface of a non-impact metatarsal arch region that is situated between the ball region and the heel region, the metatarsal arch region encompassing an elongated region abutting an inner lateral edge of the sole with respect to the longitudinal axis A,
• wherein the sock does not comprise stimulation elements in any part of the impact zones, and
• wherein, when the sock is being worn by a person standing on a plane surface, the non-impact zone is spaced from the plane surface and the impact zones contact the plane surface,
• and wherein the stimulation elements at least partially fill an intermediate space between a sole of the person's foot and the plane surface.
