Abstract
A low profile sock device may include a body for receiving portions of a foot of a user. A first retainer may be configured to tension portions of the body, such as a first side and/or a heel region towards a portion of an upper foot region that the first retainer may be coupled to. A second retainer may be configured to tension portions of the body, such as a second side and/or a heel region towards a portion of the upper foot region that the second retainer may be coupled to. The retainers may be used to tension the body to the foot of a user to increase friction between the body and the foot prevent walking/running motion from pushing the body downward at the back of the foot while allowing the body to remain hidden while being worn with a shoe.
