Abstract
Modern people are suffering from a lack of exercise along with their daily lives, and the foot's pedigree disease is increasing as a result, foot pedigree disease is also increasing. As a result, the design of socks is diversifying, and among them, the development of toe socks that help prevent and alleviate foot problems is also actively underway. Thus, this study conducted a study on toe socks design and summarized the concept of toe socks design through theoretical background. It also established tasks to be used for usability evaluation through case studies and prior research. An empirical study showed that the satisfaction of toe socks design was lower than that of ordinary socks, and that of toe socks design was more satisfactory in terms of usability. As a result, improvements in toe sock design have been derived, and it is expected that the hidden partitions between first toe sock can be supplemented, and toe sock design can be improved through similar color scheme and color diversification.
