Luxurious Alpaca-Merino Health Sock® (Style 01C)

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 95% Merino Dress Health Sock® is especially good for people with these Foot Needs:

• Cold 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 Cold (or Hot) is the external temperature impacting the residual moisture on your skin. 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. Wool strives to adopt and maintain the temperature of its immediate environment. In this case, your body temperature. Wick away the moisture, and you help regulate the temperature. The more Merino in the mix, the more moisture wicking, and the more temperature control.
• Healthy Feet – The socks with no tight tops, Humphrey Law Health Socks® are specially knit to hug your feet and legs from the Toes to the Top in a manner which promotes better natural circulation, while providing all the other benefits of the natural fibers from which they are knit. What this translates into in your Life is that at the end of the day your feet are less tired, less sore, less hot & clammy, less smelly, and are not as inviting to the bacteria and fungi which thrive in dark, damp places. And as we all know, when your Feet go, the rest of you shortly follows. Doctors in Australia are known to recommend to their patients living with Diabetes and other circulatory issues to wear Humphrey Law Health Socks® for the comfort and relief they can provide.
• Sensitive Feet & Legs – Crafted from a 3:1 blend of Alpaca and Aussie Merino Wool and double-side finished so that there are no loose threads to snag toes or irritate your legs, this sock wears super soft to the touch. The Secret? Humphrey Law starts with the softest, finest, apparel grade Alpaca and Merino fiber. When coupled with Humphrey Law’s proprietary “no pressure” knitting method, these socks gently hug your feet and legs, staying up, without restricting circulation or leaving those annoying rings and ridges.
• 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 80% Alpaca/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.
• Fashionable Feet – This Thick Knit, Casual/Dress sock is a staple for most any Winter wardrobe. The soft, finish inside and out says you have a taste for elegance, and the smooth soft feel on your feet and legs says you are right.
• 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.
