This sock: All-Season warmth, Soft softness

| 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 |

The most comfortable socks from
"The most comfortable socks from the tip of your toes up to your knees."
Cozy
"Perfect for warmth and no itch. Wool has lanolin and alpaca do not, thus the difference. I can wear alpaca but nothing work against my skin"
Diabetic Alpaca socks
"Love the socks. Not tight, just right and warms up my feet."
Very good socks.
"Very comfortable socks especially the thicker terry lined diabetic therapeutic ones. Great for anyone with swelling, sensitive skin, needs extra cushioning or sleeps with socks on their feet. Only issue is on two separate pairs threads came loose on the inside of the sock making the stretch out and difficult to slide on. That said i plan to buy a few more pairs."
Love my Warrior Alpaca socks
"These socks are just what I have been looking for for a long time. I am not diabetic but pirchased the diabeic wide calf model because I do not like elastic marks arond ankle/legs that don't go away fast. They are warm for winter but not too thick. I can wear my usual shoes without the socks causing the shoes to be too tight. Cannot comment on durability yet, but hoping they will last longer than others."
Warm and dry
"My husband’s feet are always cold in the winter so we tried the alpaca socks and he says they keep him warm and don’t make his feet sweaty. Perfect!"
Good fit
"I searched for a long time to find diabetic alpaca socks for my husband. These fit great. He lost a foot a year ago so it's very important we do everything thing we can to protect his remaining foot. These socks are exactly what he needed!"
Trying them out first time - so far I like them
"I like the wide calf, It doesn't pinch but also slip down. The alpaca is comfortable so far, not itchy (I'm not sure what the other yarn materials will do once the weather get's warm). I like that my feet haven't, so far ended up sweaty after a day in the socks like they do with my present nylon socks. It's the main reason I bought the Warriors. these seem to be starting to be my favorites."
My husband loves these!! Lots of fuzz though
"After so many other socks finally one my husband loves. Although not diabetic he hates socks that are tight at the ankle. Loves these- warm & cozy. Only down side was the first time we put them in the washing machine- on delicate there was a lot of fuzz- also when in the dryer- only downside- he now hand washes them."
Diabetic Alpaca Socks Wide-Calf 3-Pack
"I ordered two different sock styles. This was one of the two styles. The calf part is fine. Slightly thicker and non-constrictive. . I found the foot section was too thin; it is described as standard on the website. Please note I do not have diabetes, but I like how stretchy and nonconstrictive the calf segments are on diabetic type socks. If you prefer a thinner foot section and a thicker non-constructive calf segment you may enjoy these socks. I preferred the single sock pair, toasty toes, which I reviewed separately and kept them the toasty tough foot section was thick thicker."
Q&A
- I keep checking your website for the availability of these socks in LARGE, but they are consistently unavailable. When will they be available, please?
- Hi! Thanks for reaching out. We are in the process of getting our fall sock shipments in over the next few weeks. These have been out of stock for a while and our apologies for that. As we make our own socks it does take a while to get them produced and into the warehouse. They are on the way! Please hang in there a bit longer. Thanks for your patience! - The Warrior Alpaca Sock Team
