Cross Trainer Cushioned Athletic Ankle Alpaca Socks

$24.00
  • Impact-ready cushioning — a dense footbed absorbs shock at the ball and heel, so sprint intervals and repeat sets don't turn into hot spots.
  • Stays-put fit — built-in arch support and a Y-heel lock the sock in place, cutting the mid-workout slippage that leads to blisters.
  • Breathable by design — ventilated mesh across the instep moves air where your foot runs hottest.
  • All-day dry, naturally hypoallergenic — alpaca wicks moisture and resists odor better than cotton or standard wool, without the itch.

Temperatures are a guide for everyday wear. Active days run warmer.

Your training days shouldn't end with hot spots or a sock that slides. The Cross Trainer Cushioned Athletic Ankle Alpaca Sock puts a dense, impact-ready footbed right where sprints and circuits hit hardest, while a built-in arch band and Y-heel keep everything locked in through every rep. A ventilated mesh instep pulls heat away from your foot, and our performance alpaca blend outworks cotton and standard wool on moisture control — sweat moves out, not in. Alpaca is also naturally hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating, so your feet stay cool during circuits and comfortably warm when you cool down. The low-profile roll tab shields your Achilles without adding bulk in your trainers, so you can go straight from workout to errands without changing socks.

Reviews

Assume sock when Winter changes to spring

"When you don’t know what the weathers going to be or you have below freeze in the morning to high 50’s in the evening, these socks are for you. They will keep you toastie when need and comfortably cool when it warms up. High quality craftsmanship, best socks I have!"

— Dave W. (5/5)

Only way they could be better is if they worked out for me!

"These socks are outstanding. The padded bottom is soft against my feet and cushion my steps like walking obn clouds! They come up my leg just a bit and grip nicely without being too tight. I am recommending these to all my friends. I am a size Med and they fit my size 8 feet well. I especially like how they don't bind my toes. Shipping was FAST! Overall, great quality and performance."

— Kimberly D. (5/5)

Soooo Good!

"These socks are the best, they are warm, durable, and soft. I have gone from having a couple of pairs to 8. I will be getting more. They are that good."

— BRAD J. (5/5)

Comfortable pair of socks

"They fit my feet well. They do not, however, keep my feet warm. They are comfortable and do not slip off my feet while I wear shoes."

— STACY W. (5/5)

So comfortable!

"These fit great and keep my legs warm during this cold weather. I love the cushion under my feet. Another win! Fantastic product, fast shipping, and good communications!"

Nice for gifts + a pair for myself!

"The shipment arrived quickly. I will love giving these as gifts this year to my family. My daughter's roommate (who is from the Philippines) will be spending Christmas with us as well since it is a long way to go home for a week and a half. I know she will like these, as well as the rest of the family, especially those who live in Idaho!!! Love the socks. Great quality and lots to choose from to suit all my gift-giving needs, even for those of us in AZ. Thanks!"

LOVE These Socks… NEVER Changing Brands!

"My sister-in-law introduced me to Warrior Alpaca socks and since then I’ve gotten a dozen pairs in different styles and colors. I bought this pair for a vacation since I knew I’d be doing a lot of walking and exploring at our destinations. They are comfy, didn’t overheat my feet and provided just the right amount of support I needed. I also power walk every day and they are great performance socks. I’ve tried other socks and I’m NEVER changing brands!"

— Raven G. (5/5)
