Feet First Sock (Style 32C)

Excellence from Farm to Feet … In 1947, Sidney Humphrey & Albert Law partnered to make great socks at a great value in Australia. The pair perfected a proprietary graduated knitting process for creating soft, smooth, moisture wicking, temperature regulating, Aus-somely comfortable socks, which stay up with no tight tops … the Humphrey Law Health Sock®.

Natural, Renewable, Sustainable … The primary fibers from which your Humphrey Law socks are made are natural, renewable, and sustainable fibers (Australian Merino Wool, Alpaca, Cotton). Humphrey Law typically uses more, finer, natural fibers in making your socks than other manufacturers, and less petroleum-based poly fibers. Long before it became fashionable, Humphrey Law was investing in innovative technologies and processes to conserve natural resources and energy, while reducing waste.

Every Other Sock is Solar Powered … The Humphrey Law Family genuinely cares about your feet, and the Earth upon which they tread. Several years ago, under the Leadership of Rob Law and Elizabeth (Law) Challenger, Humphrey Law installed solar panels covering the entirety of the factory. Today, Humphrey Law generates 50% of all the electricity they use. Yes, you can proudly proclaim that your Left foot (or Right) is solar powered.

Ethical Clothing Australia … Humphrey Law’s commitment to the environment does not stop at the front door. The Leadership is equally committed to their people and work environment. A commitment which has earned Humphrey Law full accreditation from Ethical Clothing Australia. The Phillips Family of Cape Woolamai Mercantile has had the pleasure of touring the Humphrey Law Factory and meeting the Team on several occasions. One of the reasons Humphrey Law socks are so great is that they are a reflection of the people who make them. We are proud to represent both.

Socks Which Meet the Needs of Your Feet … Humphrey Law does more than make great socks. Humphrey Law makes great socks to address the specific needs of your feet. This 77% Merino Health Sock® is especially good for people with these Foot Needs:

• Cold Feet/Hot Feet – With all due respect to the many man-made insulators available today, pure Australian Merino Wool is still one of the best, most adaptable, insulators on the planet. And certainly, one of the best to put next to your sensitive skin. The Secret? What makes your feet feel Hot or Cold is the external temperature impacting the residual moisture on your skin. More moisture plus cooler temperatures can make your feet feel Cold. More moisture plus warmer temperatures can make your feet feel Hot. Aussie Merino Wool is water repellant, but vapor absorbent. Meaning, your socks will not absorb the water when you’re walking in the rain, or stay drenched in sweat as you hustle through your hectic Life. Aussie Merino can wick away and retain up to 35% of its dry weight in moisture (water vapor) without your socks or feet feeling damp. After that, the wool vents any additional moisture away from your feet. The more Merino in the mix, the more moisture wicking, and the more temperature control. This 77% Merino Boot Sock can help keep Cold Feet warmer, and Hot Feet cooler year-round.
• Sensitive Feet & Legs – Crafted from Fine Merino Wool and double-side finished so that there are no loose threads to snag toes or irritate your legs, this sock wears smooth to the touch. The Secret? Humphrey Law starts with soft, apparel grade Merino (25 micron). Coupled with putting all the right cushioning in all the right places, and just enough elastic to prevent your socks from shifting in your boots. The Terry knit wool cushioning will not lay down and die like other natural and synthetic fibers. Your socks work as hard as you do.
• Sweaty Feet – We all tend to operate at different temperature settings. Whether you “Glow”, “Perspire”, or flat out “Sweat” the best thing you can do for your feet is let them sweat in pure Australian Merino Wool. Aussie Merino is Water Repellant, but Vapor Absorbent, and can wick away up to 35% of its dry weight in moisture (water vapor), without feeling damp. When it comes to socks, the higher the Wool content, the greater the moisture wicking. This 78% Merino sock will help keep your feet dry and comfortable on your most demanding days.
• Odor Control – Merino wool is naturally odor resistant. Merino’s anti-microbial attributes also help fight the foot fungus we don’t speak about in polite company, but which grows, spreads, itches, and burns, when given a warm, humid environment within which to flourish. Walk, work, sweat, and take your shoes off with confidence and comfort at the end of the day. Don’t tell anybody … you don’t need to wash your Humprey Law Socks after each wearing. Many travelers will rotate 2-3 pairs of socks when on the road for a week.
• Working Feet – Humphrey Law engineers socks for purpose. If your feet work in Steel or Cap toe Boots (or shoes) they need the protection of Feet First socks. Whether your feet work on the Factory Floor, Building Sites, Ship Yards, Rail Yards; wherever you need Steel Toe shoes to protect your toes, you need Feet First socks to protect your feet. Protect your feet today so that you can live in greater comfort tomorrow.
• Large Feet – Humphrey Law understands that just because your shoe size is 12+ doesn’t mean you don’t want comfort with a sense of style. If you wear up to a Men’s Size 15, this sock has your feet covered.

We hope this helps you better understand why we say “Humphrey Law Socks are the best socks you will ever put on your feet.” Your feet deserve to Experience a Slice of the No Worries Life.
