Warm toes at last

My feet are always cold, even indoors. These are the first socks that actually keep them warm all evening.

Alison, 52 Verified purchase
No itching at all

I can't wear ordinary wool socks, they prickle. The alpaca is as soft as a cardigan – I wear them day and night.

Barbara, 67 Verified purchase
Perfect in my boots

Dog walk at minus fifteen and no cold toes. And no sweaty feet when I get back in, either.

James, 41 Verified purchase
Everyone has their own

We went for the eight-pack. Nobody fights over the socks any more – everyone has their own colour.

Size guide

Your size is your shoe size. The sock has no shaped heel and follows your foot within the range.

Work out your size

Size by shoe size

SizeUsually fitsUK
36–40 WomenUK 3–6½
41–46 Men UK 7–11
Worked example

You wear a UK 5 (EU 38). That falls within 36–40 – so size 36–40.

  • On a smaller foot within the range the leg comes a little higher up the calf – on a larger foot it sits a little lower.
  • The knit has no shaped heel, so the heel always ends up in the right place.
  • Not sure? Message us with your shoe size and we'll recommend a size.

Why alpaca

Warm when it's cold. Dry when it's warm.

Alpaca fibre insulates like few others and lets moisture out instead of trapping it. The result: feet that stay warm out in the snow and don't get sweaty when you come back inside.

  • 52%alpaca wool in the yarn – the rest wool and 8% nylon
  • 92%natural wool fibres that breathe and keep you warm
  • 4.8/5average rating from 1,642 reviews
Lovelle Alpaca sock in white with four marked parts: cuff, leg, heel and toe
  1. Ribbed cuff

    Stays up without squeezing – no marks round your leg when you take them off.

  2. Rib-knit leg

    A thick, airy rib that traps warmth and still breathes.

  3. No shaped heel

    The knit follows your foot across the whole size range, so it fits comfortably on a 36 and a 40 alike.

  4. The foot: warm and dry

    Alpaca wicks moisture away from your foot – so it still feels warm after a whole day in boots.

Tap a number to see what that part does.
At home on the sofa Cold floors and draughty windows – with alpaca on your feet, you stop reaching for the blanket.
Out in the cold Inside your boots on the dog walk, on the ski slopes or out on the hill.
On cold nights Soft enough to sleep in. Your feet stay warm without getting sweaty under the duvet.

Finding your size takes ten seconds – it's your shoe size.

Why they choose Lovelle Alpaca

Wool that feels like a hug

The alpaca keeps you warm. The softness means you'll want them on all the time.

  • 92% natural fibre

    52% alpaca wool and 40% wool – naturally warm, no synthetic fleece.

  • Itch-free

    Alpaca fibre is fine, smooth and lanolin-free – soft even on sensitive skin.

  • Breathes and stays dry

    Moisture-regulating and temperature-regulating – warm outdoors, not sweaty indoors.

  • Follows your foot

    No shaped heel, and 8% nylon that holds its shape wash after wash.

Size guide

Your size is your shoe size

No tape measure needed. Two sizes cover EU shoe sizes 36 to 46 – and the knit, with no shaped heel, follows your foot within the range.

  1. Take your usual shoe size

    The one you normally buy winter boots in.

  2. Choose the range

    36–40 fits most women's feet, 41–46 most men's feet.

  3. In between?

    If you're an EU 40–41: take 41–46 for a longer leg, 36–40 for a snugger fit.

Care

Soft for many winters

Alpaca is hard-wearing – with a little care in the wash, the socks keep their softness, warmth and shape year after year.

  1. Turn inside out

    This protects the surface and keeps the sock smooth and neat for longer.

  2. Wool programme, 30 °C

    Wash gently with a mild wool detergent. No fabric softener or bleach.

  3. No tumble dryer

    Gently press the water out in a towel – don't wring.

  4. Air dry flat

    Lay the socks on a towel or a drying rack. Ready for the next cold morning.

Tip: Air them rather than wash them. Wool is self-cleaning – hang the socks up overnight and they're fresh again.

The gift idea

The present that actually gets used

Everyone knows someone with cold feet. A pair of alpaca socks is the kind of present that's on their feet the same evening – and stays there all winter.

Take a 5- or 8-pair bundle, give a few pairs away and keep the rest for yourself. Each pair comes in its own paper band, ready to wrap.

Soft, warm and personal – without having to guess someone's jumper size.

Alison K. · Cambridge Verified purchase

My feet are always cold, even indoors with underfloor heating. The white ones are on me on the sofa every evening now, and my toes are warm for the first time in several winters. So soft I hardly notice they're wool.

Sarah L. · Reading Verified purchase

Light grey in 36–40 and I'm a UK 5 – fits perfectly. I wear them as bed socks and I no longer wake up in the night with cold feet. Not sweaty under the duvet either, which I'd been worried about.

Jenny M. · Newcastle Verified purchase

Dark grey in my Chelsea boots on the walk to work on a bitter January morning. Warm the whole way and not the slightest bit clammy when I got into the office. I've ordered two more pairs.

Tom B. · Leicester Verified purchase

Got the eight-pack before Christmas. Put three pairs in a gift box for my mum, two for my father-in-law and kept the rest myself. Mum rang the next day to say thank you – she'd slept in them.

Barbara H. · Exeter Verified purchase

I can't wear ordinary wool socks, they itch until I'm going mad. Alpaca is completely different – as soft as a cardigan. I have Light grey and White and wash them on the wool programme, and they're still just as lovely.

Andrew G. · Durham Verified purchase

Eight-pack in black for the whole family, two sizes mixed. The teenagers refused at first, but now they nick mine. Good price per pair.

I work outdoors on building sites all winter. The black ones in 41–46 inside my work boots keep the warmth in all day, and my feet are dry when I pull the boots off. Ordering more for the whole crew.

Richard O. · Kendal Verified purchase

Dark grey 41–46 for our ski trip to the Alps. Ski boots all day and then straight onto the sofa in the chalet. Warm, dry and they don't smell. The whole family wanted their own.

Lucy W. · London Verified purchase

Cold stone floor in the office and I was always freezing. The black ones don't show under my trousers and my feet are warm all day. Colleagues have started asking where I got them.

Gareth E. · Cardiff Verified purchase

I'm a UK 10 and went for 41–46. Comfortable, and they don't slip down in my boots. My wife pinched two of my pairs, so now I'm ordering again.

Brown ones in the cowshed first thing in the morning. My old wool socks itched and felted, these are soft and have kept their shape. Buying more for the winter.

Brown in 41–46 for deer stalking in the Highlands. Ten hours on the hill below freezing and my feet were warm right through. I've tried most things – these are the best.

Pauline A. · Chester Verified purchase

★★★★★Size 36–40 · Light grey

I'm a UK 4 and was worried 36–40 would be too big, but the sock has no shaped heel so it fits well anyway. The leg comes up a little higher, which is just extra cosy.

Brown for early-morning dog walks at minus fifteen. Under lined wellies, these are the only thing that works for me. Lovely warm colour too.

Black ones on a winter hike in the Peak District, with a long lunch stop on a frozen tor. Sat still for well over an hour and my feet were absolutely fine. That says a lot.

I've bought wool socks at Christmas markets for years, but they've always prickled. The brown Lovelle Alpaca are genuinely soft. I wish I'd found them sooner.

Peter N. · Ipswich Verified purchase

Dark grey for standing on the touchline coaching under-sevens football in November. Two hours in the cold and my feet are warm. Best thing I've bought this autumn.

Kate A. · Bristol Verified purchase

Black in my winter shoes for my job at the nursery. Out in the playground all morning and my feet stay warm. Soft and comfortable indoors too.

Hamish J. · Thurso Verified purchase
★★★★★Size 41–46 · Brown

Minus fifteen up here with the wind off the sea. Brown in 41–46 under my hunting boots and my toes haven't been cold once this winter. Brilliant product.

Helen V. · Chichester Verified purchase

Fantastic socks, soft and warm. The only reason for four stars is that I'd love to see even more colours – I want a green one too!

Howard P. · Carlisle Verified purchase
★★★★☆Size 41–46 · Black

The socks get full marks, warm and comfortable. One star off because the parcel sat at the pickup point all weekend before I got the notification. Nothing wrong with Lovelle.

Michelle D. · Swindon Verified purchase
★★★★☆Size 36–40 · White

I took 36–40 even though I'm an EU 41 – the guide said 41–46. The exchange was easy and now they fit perfectly. Warm and soft.

Brenda I. · Wick Verified purchase
★★★☆☆Size 36–40 · Dark grey

The socks themselves are great, but the courier left the parcel outside the door in a snowstorm and the box was soaked. The socks were fine and customer service were lovely when I got in touch.
