$36.00
What is a Health Sock®? … In 1947, Sidney Humphrey & Albert Law formed a partnership to make great socks at a great value in Australia. And that is exactly what Humphrey Law has done, and done exclusively, for more than 75 years. Along the way, they perfected a proprietary graduated knitting process for crafting soft, smooth, moisture wicking, temperature regulating, Aus-somely comfortable, Merino Wool socks, with no tight tops, to promote better circulation.
Socks that stay up right, without wearing too tight … That is a Health Sock® … and they only come from Humphrey Law, the sock specialist.
Who Knew Your Socks Can Ease Pain and Fatigue? … Do your feet get tired and sore? Are your feet and legs sensitive? Do your feet and legs get swollen, leaving rings and ridges where your socks wear? Or worse, do you live with the pain which accompanies more serious nerve sensitivity or circulatory problems? Do you look forward to that moment of “Ahhhhh” when you get to peel your socks off at the end of the day?
All are symptoms of wearing socks which use large amounts of poly fibers and elastic to squeeze your feet and legs in an effort to stay up. Restricting your body’s natural circulation. Wearing “no worries” Humphrey Law Health Socks eliminates the pressure, eases the pain, and fends off fatigue, while promoting healthy circulation and greater comfort.
Who Knew Merino Wool Can Keep You Warm and Cool? … Do your feet get Hot? Or Cold? How Hot or Cold you feel is largely determined by the moisture on your feet. Merino Wool is the master of moisture (and odor). Your Health Socks keep as much soft, natural fiber next to your body as possible, wicking moisture away, to keep your feet dryer and at a steady, comfortable temperature.
Socks Made for a Purpose. … Every pair of Humphrey Law socks is made for a purpose (Dress, Casual, Work, Sport, Specialty, for Warmth or Cool). Using the maximum amount of the finest Australian Merino Wool, and the minimum amount of petroleum-based poly fibers necessary to fit the purpose, each sock is expertly knit, linked, dyed, pre-shrunk and inspected to fit their purpose, and fit your feet for maximum comfort and wear life.
Why Do I Want an Alpaca-Merino Blend? Alpaca is softer and warmer than Merino Wool. But not in an all-Alpaca sock. The insulating capacity of natural fibers is found in the air pockets in the fiber. When those air pockets get compressed – when you stand on them for example – you lose some insulating and moisture wicking capacity. Alpaca is more fragile than Merino, and does not naturally rebound. Merino Wool has a “memory” and always tries to return to shape. By blending Alpaca & Merino, the Merino helps reopen the air pockets in the Alpaca, and strengthens the blended yarn. Giving you the warmest, driest, softest, most luxurious Health Sock® ever.
Note: as Alpaca is a luxury fiber these socks are not recommended for high abrasion use such as work boots.

Excellence from Farm to Feet … Since its founding in 1947, Family-owned Humphrey Law® has done one thing, and one thing alone: make great socks, at a great value, that keep you and your feet feeling great. Humphrey Law still operates in the same factory where it all began more than 75 years ago. In the beginning, the sheep were in the pastures behind the factory. As Melbourne (Australia) and the factory grew, the flocks were moved to New South Wales, and still serve as a source for the pure Australian Merino Wool from which these amazing socks are made.
Natural, Renewable, Sustainable … The primary fibers from which your Humphrey Law socks are made are natural, renewable, and sustainable materials (Australian Merino Wool, Alpaca, Cotton, Bamboo). Humphrey Law typically uses more natural fibers in making your socks than other manufacturers, and less petroleum-based poly fibers. The Humphrey Law Family genuinely cares about your feet, and the Earth upon which they tread. Long before it became fashionable, Humphrey Law began investing in innovative technologies and processes to conserve natural resources and energy, while reducing waste … and responsibly make great socks at a great value.
Every Other Sock is Solar Powered … Most recently, under the Leadership of Rob Law and Elizabeth (Law) Challenger, Humphrey Law has installed solar panels entirely covering the roof of the factory. Today, they generate 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 them 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. On 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.
Helping Solve 10 Top Foot and Fashion Problems … Humphrey Law does more than make great socks. Humphrey Law makes great socks to address the specific needs of your feet. Excellent for everyone, this 95% Merino Jacquard Knit Health Sock addresses these 10 top foot and fashion problems in the following manner:
- Cold Feet – Crafted from a blend of 60% Alpaca and 20% Merino Wool, this sock is designed to deliver luxurious warmth, without overheating. The natural fibers in this sock will wick away moisture, keeping your feet warm and dry, a key to keeping naturally Cold feet warmer. As a Health Sock with no tight tops to restrict circulation, you will enjoy optimum blood flow to your feet, also promoting more natural warmth.
- Fashionable Feet – Just one look at these socks tells you they are luxuriously comfortable, and soothing. Casual to Dress Casual in styling, the quality shows through. Softness you can see, they are the peak of fashion when the day calls for warmth with a touch of class.
- Healthy Feet – The socks with no tight tops, Humphrey Law Health Socks promote better natural circulation, while providing all the other benefits of the natural fibers from which they are knit. Doctors in Australia are known to recommend their patients living with Diabetes and other circulatory issues wear Humphrey Law Health Socks.
- Hot Feet – Crafted from a blend of 60% Alpaca and 20% Merino Wool, this sock is designed to deliver luxurious warmth, without overheating. If you are starting with naturally warm feet you may wish to save these socks for those cold Autumn and Winter days when you will be outside for hours, and want to stay fashionably warm (Tailgating & Game Day, Touring the Town, etc.).
- Sore Feet – Not a “cushion sole” sock, this sock is a thick knit sock which gives your feet a layer of all around cushioning. Add to this Humphrey Law’s proprietary “no pressure” knitting method, and your feet are not subjected to being squeezed inside your socks. Warmth and comfort are this sock’s stock and trade.
- Sensitive Feet & Legs – This sock is strategically knit to keep the soft, natural Alpaca and Merino fiber close to your body. With a protective shield of Nylon on the outside for longer wear life. Double-side finished so there are no loose threads to irritate your legs or snag toes, this sock wears smooth to the touch. This sock is extremely gentle on sensitive feet and legs.
- Smelly Feet – Both Alpaca and Merino wool are naturally moisture wicking and anti-microbial, which helps to fight the foot fungus we don’t speak about in polite conversation, 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.
- Sporting Feet – Alpaca being a luxury fiber, we do not recommend these socks for activities which may cause high abrasion between your feet and footwear.
- Working Feet – Not made with work boots in mind, this sock is an amazingly comfortable sock for people who make their living on their feet (Office Workers, Retail Workers, Medical Professionals, etc.).
- 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 14, this sock has your feet covered too.
