Alpaca Style

Deciding what kind of sock to buy can often be difficult when faced with so many choices in the marketplace. Locating a proper sock, one that works best for you, your activity, the time of year as well as weather conditions, makes all the difference in your personal comfort. Most of the time we buy new shoes after new shoes, looking for a improved comfort level, but come up lacking. Better yet, we blame the shoes we have for being uncomfortable, when in most cases it’s the sock.

Wearing the proper sock is critical to the enjoyment of athletic activities, your favorite sports or just the great out doors. Every action from walking and jogging to golf and tennis or even skiing creates different stress points on the body. You take precautions with your body, are you taking the same care of your feet? In order to prevent injury, feet and sensitive spots on your foot should be protected. The occurrence of blisters and other foot problems while exercising or performing your favorite sports can be reduced by wearing socks that fit exceptionally well and that wick moisture. The best alpaca socks we’ve found are Warrior Alpaca Socks are designed to help keep feet dry and comfortable, no matter what the temperature. It all begins with alpaca and other micro fibers that wick moisture away from feet. Filled with a soft cushion of terry loops these socks will protect the tender areas of the foot from irritation and provide you with the best foundation for an outstanding performance.

High-performance socks protect feet against cold or excessive heat and assist the foot’s own temperature regulating function. Under varying climatic conditions, socks help balance the body’s temperature and manage perspiration creating a pleasant feel next to the skin.

These Warrior Alpaca socks use a combination of natural and synthetic micro fibers to help keep feet breathing, and to aid the body in cooling. Feet that are dry and comfortable, naturally minimize friction and creates an environment that promotes healthier feet and better performance for the rest of the body.

Getting the right fit is essential to comfortable feet. After all, if your feet aren’t comfortable the rest of you won’t be either. And you won’t want to start let alone finish that hike, workout or walk. Here are some things to look for when buying socks.

• Sock toe seams should be flush and smooth against the skin with no bulkiness or irritation may occur.
• Socks should fit the foot perfectly. If they are too tight, they’ll restrict circulation; if they are too loose, they’ll increase friction which leads to blisters. Comfortable fitting socks are critical to good foot health and athletic performance.
• No crowded toes! Toes need room to wiggle and be happy, but not so much room that there’s constant rubbing against the sock or foot slipping in the shoe which will also cause blisters.
• Kids need great-fitting, high-performance socks too. Keeping kids’ feet dry and healthy is important, and excellent fit is part of that. Most socks made for children are simply shortened adult socks or little, uncomfortable tube socks. Our socks are designed to fit munchkins!
