| 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
Great product!
"Great product and very nice fit. I like that they go over the calf, but not past the knee like some brands. Very comfortable without putting too much pressure on my toes!!"
Very Comfy Compression Socks
"Excellent compression with good support and super softness. Very comfortable in warm and cold conditions."
Alpaca Ankle Socks
"I think they are very comfortable. I do like the length. Very please with the color."
Great compression experience
"They really helped keep my ankles from getting swollen. Very comfortable and not hot even though I was wearing them all day at the height of summer!"
Quality Good; Sizing an Issue
"I can’t pull these up over my lower shin. Returning them."
Great compression socks.
"These work great, I wear them every day while waiting for my leg to heal."
Compression socks
"If you want an extremely tight fit, these probably aren't for you, but for me they are perfect. I can get them on and they don't bind my legs. They work well for me because I need medium compression. It was always a struggle to the finish for me to get on compression hose, I feel these are sturdy and my finger nails won't go through then as I put them on. Highly recommend for medium compression."
These are nice socks, but
"These are nice socks, but they are not wide or extra wide calf by no means."
Great Quality Socks
"Love my socks!! I have very sensitive feet and are always cold and even more in the winter, but since I started using these socks is way much better."
New socks !
"They are great so far ! Thanks"
Q&A
- Will these fit over wide calves?
- Please check out our NEW Wide Calf Compression Socks https://www.warrioralpacasocks.com/extra-wide-compression-alpaca-socks/ made for wider calfs. These are for standard size legs. Hope this helps! - The Warrior Alpaca Sock Team
- I ordered socks for shoe size 13 but the socks were a little too tight but I kept them because I’m losing weight, so hopefully they will fit better. Your competitor ,hollow, do fit better but Im hoping to find the right socks with you
- Our Swell Compression Socks are designed to fit snugly against the skin, offering 8–15 mmHg graduated compression—so a tighter feel is expected with that style. If you prefer a less snug fit but still want light compression, we recommend our Alpaca Wool Work Socks – Light Compression. For a men’s size 13, the X-Large will offer the most comfortable fit.
- How long are these? I have your other style of compression socks, and they reach my knees, which I like.
- The Compression socks are over the calf high. They should settle in the narrow space above your calf at the knee. Hope this helps!
