The Clean Swipe Sock is an athletic sock designed for indoor sporting events such as volleyball and basketball where sweat, dust and polished floors can make for hazardous footing. The Clean Swipe has been designed with a "reverse padding" area which gives the athlete an area to "dust off" the soles of their shoes for increased traction. In addition to these "swipe pads," the socks have padded soles, arch support, and stay-up tops for added comfort and playing power.
