Light, warm and luxurious, alpaca has been valued for its silky feel and positive virtues. Apart from its soft handle, alpaca is able to repel water and is highly breathable too. Because alpaca is also lanolin-free, it’s hypoallergenic as well.We’ve chosen alpaca for our SOCKSHOP of London Alpaca Boot Socks, made here in the United Kingdom, for all these reasons, plus its innate strength, making it more than up to the task of wearing with walking boots. These practical ‘luxury’ socks are thickly terry pile cushioned to cosset and protect feet and lower legs. The socks are made with elasticised tops to keep them from sliding during wear.(10/13)
