Socks usually cover the entire foot and some socks have been designed to encase individual toes. Such toe socks have a glove-type fit where compartments have been provided for each individual toe. Individual toe socks are often worn with sandals or flip-flops in order to showcase their unique style and provide a convenient means for the individual to wear the particular shoe of choice. Other toe socks include rubber-grip adhesive over the outside of the socks so that the socks may be worn as a house slipper or for specific activities such as yoga.
