Introducing New Socks!
Introducing New Socks!
The Diabetic Sock
Over the years many of our customers have expressed how great of a fit Alpaca would be when applied to a Diabetic Sock design. We listened and are happy to announce the addition of this great specialty sock! Diabetics can have issues with circulation which can translate into numb, uncomfortable feet so we designed this sock with a non-restrictive upper calf knit and a terry loop sole for warmth and padding. These socks are now available to order in our Product Catalog and will begin shipping out of our mill on July 16th!
