Wonderful alpaca has the ability to be light, but warm, making it a quite ‘rarified’ choice for socks, not least because of the value of the silky, versatile wool, due to its relative scarcity and positive virtues. It is light, warm, water repelling and highly breathable, as well as one of the stronger wool fibres – ideal for wearing with walking boots.Our SOCKSHOP of London Alpaca Ribbed Boot Socks are exceptionally soft, comfortable and practical ‘luxury’ socks, with thickly cushioned soles that will pad your feet against rough, tough boots. The \'cuff-less\' ribbed legs make for a more comfortable wearing experience, with an elastic-free Comfort Cuff, while hand linked toes for smooth seams cut down on the chances of toe blisters. Alpaca is also lanolin-free, so it’s hypoallergenic too!(09/13)
