Why alpaca
Alpaca vs. Merino Wool vs. Cotton
How alpaca fiber stacks up against the two most common sock materials, rated honestly.
This sock: Cold-Weather warmth, Extra Soft softness
| Feature | Warrior Alpaca | Merino Wool | Cotton |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warmth | Best Hollow fibers trap heat, warmer than wool without the bulk | Good Warm, but needs more bulk for the same heat | Poor Little insulation, and none once it gets wet |
| Moisture-wicking | Best Pulls sweat away and dries fast | Good Wicks well, dries more slowly | Poor Absorbs sweat and stays wet |
| Odor resistance | Best Naturally antimicrobial, stays fresh in boots | Good Resists odor well | Poor Traps odor after a day of wear |
| Itch-free softness | Best Smooth fiber scales, no prickle | Good Soft, though some feel a prickle | Good Soft and itch-free |
| Sensitive skin | Best Lanolin-free and hypoallergenic | Fair Contains lanolin, which can irritate | Good Gentle on most skin |
| Durability | Best Strong fiber that holds its shape | Good Durable, prone to felting if overheated | Fair Wears thin and stretches out |

Reviews
I bought these socks for
"I bought these socks for my daughter. She loves the soft comfortable feel of the socks. She wears a size ten shoe, so I ordered a size large. Unfortunately, she can only use the socks for lounging. She can't wear them for daily wear because they are slightly oversized. I think that a size medium would be a better size for her foot. She does wear the socks at home every day after she comes home from work."
Having great soxcess :)
"My Warrior Alpaca socks are much appreciated by my feet! I am very satisfied with my purchase."
I'm not diabetic, but I love this sock.
"I've ordered more. They are the most comfortable sock ever. I even sleep in them on cold nights. Am about to order more."
Good socks
"A little thicker than I would like, but overall, they are good socks. They do not leave indentations on my lower leg and are comfortable to wear."
So amazingly soft
"These are so soft, don't squish my legs, and are clouds of softness for my feet! I sleep in them, and I think I sleep better!"
Best alpaca ever
"I love the diabetic alpaca socks! My feet are toasty warm. I have washed the socks many times and they come out like new! I always hang them to dry and they dry overnight. I will highly recommend the alpaca socks to all my friends!"
Wonderful
"I purchased these for a friend. He LOVES them !! I also purchased some for myself and my feet thank me every time I wear them, I have bought more for myself, I need more than one pair!!"
Wool socks
"These socks are non binding and very comfortable."
So soft and cozy!
"I really like these socks! They're soft, warm, and cozy. They laundered well and I really like that they come up to my knees. I'm going to order some for my husband today."
Crew socks
"Not what we expected. Crew socks are suppose to up n calf. These are higher. Also seemed thin for warm socks."
Q&A
- I saw a 5 pack of assorted color wide diabetic socks for $65.00 and want to order them in the 5 pack, but when I clicked the order button it only showed 1 color? I want the 5 pack in l with the assorted colors, Diabetic socks. I ordered 3 and love them, please advise when I can order the 5 package. Thanks Lois Kohler
- Hi! Thanks for letting us know that you like them! We are so glad… a lot of people do love them and right now they are out of stock. So sorry! We anticipate that they will be back in stock within the next month. Thanks for being a Warrior! - The Warrior Alpaca Sock Team
- We are looking for black extra large (XL) men's (US shoe 14) wide-calf alpaca socks. This Diabetic Sock product looks promising. Will there be any XL sizes of this product in the future? Also, we would prefer over-the-calf, to-the-knee, extra-wide boot socks for the summer. We like the thick winter version of the tall boot socks but they are too warm for the summer. The so-called diabetic socks from other brands are too thin around the leg, like fish net stockings and the material looks weird, is uncomfortable and pills. We are dealing with inherited huge calves on a tall thin teen with sweaty, sweaty, sweaty feet, no other health issues. Love the alpaca. Thanks.
- Hi! Thank you for your inquiry! We do have size XL in both our Diabetic Socks WTN2 as well as our Diabetic Socks, Terry Lined WTK2. This is a crew height. At the moment we are sold out but do anticipate receiving more inventory towards the end of summer on these socks. The color would be black. A similar sock is our Second To None WUB3 socks. These are over the calf height with a terry lined footbed. They do not come in standard sock weight without the terry lining. We do have these in stock. The wicking and insulating nature of alpaca should manage the sweaty feet. The other avenue would be to go with a quarter or ankle high sock, which would eliminate the calf size issue and afford the management of your teens sweaty feet. We have quite a few new options in these styles to look at. You can find these on our home page and they do come in XL. We are happy to take returns on gently worn (tried on) socks for up to 30 days, which may enable you to try several styles out without a commitment. I hope this helps you in your search to find the best socks for your teen! Kim@Warrior Alpaca Socks
