A foot covering for compliably conforming to a foot of a wearer includes: a body portion comprising an upper portion and a sole portion that in combination provide a rearfoot, midfoot, and forefoot portions for receiving an intended wearer's rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot; a plurality of toe openings optionally disposed in the forefoot portion, each adapted to receive a user's toe and to allow the toes to extend through the opening. In some embodiments, the foot covering has progressive elasticity over the midfoot and forefoot portions. In some embodiments, a pair of adjacent toe openings in the foot covering are shaped so that the area between the opening is in the general form of a column, and wherein in relation to the closest points on the opposing sidewalls of the openings, the sidewalls do not substantially diverge away from each other moving upwardly and/or downwardly from the closest points.
