Abstract

A Sock Having Continuous Storage Chamber includes a sock body and a chamber material that together form a circumferential storage chamber. The circumferential chamber is formed with an aperture sized to receive a zipper base with a zipper having a zipper pull to open and close the zipper to provide access to the chamber. The chamber material may include a mesh allowing air to pass through the mesh to ventilate the chamber and allow, depending on use, the scent of a dog treat to pass therethrough.
