When choosing the warmest socks, it's not just about thickness. Alpaca fiber is 3x warmer than Merino wool. Its hollow fibers allow moisture to escape, preventing saturation and keeping your feet dry and warm. Unlike sheep’s wool, which absorbs moisture until it reaches a saturation point, alpaca fiber repels water and evaporates moisture, creating superior breathability.
The Warmest Socks for You:
- Arctic Socks: Our thickest, warmest sock – perfect for cold conditions if you have room in your shoes for them. If your shoes are tight, consider a thinner option like our Adventure Socks.
- Extra Cushion Socks: Similar to Arctic Socks but with a mid-calf fit. They’re nearly as warm, but still need enough room to retain heat. If your shoes are tight, opt for the Adventure Socks.
- Adventure Socks: Best for versatility. Mid-calf and not as thick, they fit into most shoes while still providing warmth without bulk.
- BONUS! Felted Soles: Add these to your shoes for an extra layer of warmth and cushioning. They enhance the thermal capabilities of any of our alpaca socks.
