A garment for muffling sound generated by a user`s footstep includes a
circumferential sidewall having an upper end, a lower end, and a
circumferential lower portion near the lower end. When the garment is
worn, the upper end encircles the user`s leg, and the lower position
surrounds the user`s foot and shoe portion that surrounds the foot. The
lower portion has a circumference substantially larger than the
circumference of a user`s shoe, whereby the lower portion is spaced away
from the user`s shoe during at least part, if not all, of a user`s
footstep. In this fashion, the garment creates an enlarged chamber for
muffling sounds generated by the user`s footstep.
