FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

 

Which socks go with which shoes? 

Selecting Your Style helps you match the right sock, with the right shoe. We have tried to include as many shoe styles as possible, but if there are any styles we’ve missed, please contact us directly.

 

Is Alpaca warmer?

Yes. Alpaca has great insulating qualities. In certain breeds of alpaca, the fibers possess a natural crimp like sheep wool. This has the effect of creating tiny air pockets within the spun yarn and the knitted garment which insulates the wearer. Alpaca is a hollow, or partly hollow, fiber. This not only increases its insulating capacity, but also means it is good at wicking moisture and makes it very light-weight when compared to sheep wool. For more information about alpaca fibers, please see Fibers We Use. 

 

Which are your warmest socks?

Our warmest socks, which have a 5-star warmth rating, are the Laggan in our Luxury Collection and the Roslyn in our Tablelands Collection.

To compare our socks based on warmth and durability, please refer to each product page.

 

Which ones are your best work socks?

Our Max, Max Loose Top and Max Plus socks in our Heritage Collection are the style affectionately known to local farmers and tradies as “concrete socks”, as these cushioned socks allow workers to stand comfortably all day on cold, hard concrete without their feet getting sore, cold or tired.

Of course, not everyone works outdoors, so to find the right socks to suit your work shoes and environment, please see Selecting Your Style. 

 

Do you have bed socks?
