There is provided a sock for a foot comprising: a sole; a heel portion attached to the sole; a toe covering attached to the sole; two side portions attached to the sole, each side portion connecting the heel portion to the toe covering and ending at a level lower than an ankle of the foot; and two straps, each attached at the heel portion. The heel portion may be reinforced. The sock provides a cost-effective way for people to dress up their existing shoe collection. The sock may resemble a standard sock that has two straps, such as but not limited to ribbons, that can wrap around a foot and tie at the front below the ankle bone. Embodiments of the socks may come in a variety of materials, colors, patterns and sizes. Also, in some embodiments, the sock includes a reinforced heel section that can prevent blisters and friction between the foot and the shoe.
