==Socks==
|Archaeology=
* York, England: One naalbound sock was found. It came to just below the ankle and possibly had a slit from the top part way down along the top of the foot. The last few rows at the top of the sock were made with madder dyed wool. [WALTON 1989: p.341-345]
*Skjoldehamn, Norway: 3 pieces of socks were found, 2 ankle parts and 1 toe part. The socks were made from woven grey and brown wool. The ankle parts were rectangles folded in half and sewn up under the heel. The toe part was sewn up along the top of the foot and attached to the ankle part along the bottom and up the side of the foot. This left an open gap at the front of the leg just above the ankle. [LOVLID 2009: p.123-128]

|Archaeology==Reference==*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): One partial leg of a pair of children's trousers with an integral foot were found. The foot part is made from a dark brown 2/2 herringbone twill, length 19.4cm, foot length 16.5 cm, foot width 5.8cm [HUNDT 1981:p.49 Taf.22]
* Hedeby: A, as yet unpublished, theory is that the fragment S3 from the settlement reported by Hagg as a hood with liripipe, may rather be part of a footed hose. This new theory would explain the unusually early appearance of the liripipe and the very shallow body of the hood. In a footed hose seam 4 would be consistent with a hemmed slit at the back of the ankle and the wear observed on the top of the hood, would be the bottom of the foot which is wear you'd expect to see wear.<nocitebr>It is certainly worth considering that this may be footed hose rather than a hood, though this had not yet been published as a possible interpretation.

It was cut to shape but not hemmed, and showed signs of wear in the heel and toe areas.
