Abstract
A sock having a toe portion divided into exactly three separate compartments: one for the big toe, one for the second toe, and one shared compartment for the third, fourth, and fifth toes. The design provides targeted toe separation to reduce friction, alleviate bunion pressure, prevent blisters, and improve comfort and foot health while remaining easy to wear compared to full individual-toe socks. The sock is made from stretchable, breathable material with optional reinforced dividers. Alternative groupings of toes into three or four compartments are also disclosed.
