A compression sock has a sock body including a top band, a sock front region, a sock rear region, and a sock bottom. A sweat ejection port is defined proximate the sock bottom. A sweat channel extends continuously from the top band to the ejection port. The sweat channel is made of a hydrophilic material embedded with ions effective to attract body sweat into the sweat channel. Separate cut-resistant front and rear shields may be integrated into front and rear regions of the sock.
