Stockman Health Sock®
This is a Work Sock … The Stockman is a hardwearing, hardworking, thick cushioned wool sock, for feet that work hard and play hard. Inside, your feet and legs are cushioned and insulated with pure, soft, terry-knit, Merino Wool cushioning. Moisture wicking, odor resistant, anti-microbial, resilient Merino is the best fiber for padding as it will not lie down and die like synthetic fibers do. Keeping your feet dryer, at a more constant temperature, and more comfortable all day. Humphrey Law uses Nylon and Polyester to create a tough outer layer for added wear life.
On the hottest days, cuffing the top down creates a chimney effect to vent unwanted warmth. Whether the day calls for Work Boots, Hiking Boots, “Blunnies” or Shop Shoes; if the day calls for putting your feet to the test, the Stockman sock may be the call of the day.
What is a Health Sock®? Humphrey Law uses more, higher quality natural fiber, and the minimum amount of petroleum-based poly fibers necessary to make each sock. They strategically knit their socks to keep more moisture wicking, anti-microbial, natural fiber next to your body, while using the poly fiber to create a protective shell for longer wear life. While employing a proprietary graduated knitting method to create a sock which hugs your feet and legs without restricting 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.
What Does This Mean to You? For over 75 years wearing Humphrey Law Health Socks® has meant that at the end of the day your feet are less tired, less sore, less swollen, less hot and sweaty. Your feet maintain a more consistent temperature over the course of the day. And no more rings and ridges around your legs because your body is allowed to circulate as designed.
- Shock Absorption … The resilient terry-knit cushioning (fluffy) in the Stockman is like having hundreds of little shock absorbers surrounding your feet and legs to help soften the beating your feet and legs take. Merino Wool has a "memory" and always seeks to bounce back to its original shape. Unlike other fibers (natural or synthetic) which lie down and dye at the first bit of pressure.
- Moisture Wicking … Nothing good happens when your feet are wet. Whether that be from rain, snow, water, or sweat. Damp sock and hot feet create a breeding ground for blisters, odor, and foot fungus. By terry-knitting the Merino Wool, Humphrey Law puts the maximum amount of moisture wicking wool against your body, to draw away sweat and vent it as vapor. Keeping your feet dryer.
- Temperature Control … Your body reacts to the external temperature impacting the moisture on your feet, contributing to your feet feeling Hot or Cold. Wick away the moisture, and Merino’s natural insulating capacity helps to hold your feet at a more steady, comfortable temperature.
- No Pressure … You get enough pressure on the job. You don’t need your socks to put pressure on your feet. The Stockman is a Humphrey Law Health Sock®. Meaning, your body is allowed to circulate the way it is designed, which is important to foot health and overall health.
- You’re in the Army Now … The Stockman Sock is the inspiration for the Genuine Army Sock Humphrey Law makes for the Australian Defense Force. We hear it all the time from our American Troops who have served on joint deployments with the ADF, that the Aussie Army Sock is the best boot sock they have ever worn. Take it from the true professionals.

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.

Excellent for everyone, this 95% Merino Jacquard Knit Health Sock addresses these 10 top foot and fashion problems in the following manner:
- Cold Feet – The more soft Fine Merino Wool you put next to your body, the more moisture will be wicked away, faster. A key to keeping naturally Cold feet warmer. Crafted from 77% terry-knit Merino Wool, this sock will work to keep your feet at a steady, comfortable temperature. 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.

- Hot Feet – The more soft Fine Merino Wool you put next to your body, the more moisture will be wicked away, faster. A key to keeping naturally Hot feet from overheating. Crafted from 77% terry-knit Merino Wool, this sock will work to keep your feet at a steady, comfortable temperature.

- Sore Feet – The Stockman completely surrounds your feet and legs with hundreds of terry-knit Merino shock absorbers to help ease the pressure on your feet. Couple this with Humphrey Law’s proprietary “no pressure” knitting method, and your feet are not subjected to being squeezed inside your socks. A common source of sore feet.
- Sensitive Feet & Legs – The terry-knit interior of the Stockman sock gives your feet and legs the feeling of being slipped into their own personal comforters.
- Smelly Feet – Merino wool is naturally odor resistant. Merino’s anti-microbial attributes also help 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 – Not a pure sport sock, the Stockman can be extremely comfortable for active casual wear (Hiking, Hunting, Climbing, etc.).
- Working Feet – Made for feet that work hard, the Stockman is the ultimate Work Sock. Only matched by the Genuine Army Sock, and the Feet First Sock which is custom designed for hard working feet that wear steel or cap toe boots or shoes.
- 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.
