Thermal Sock Style XHF
This is a Thermal Sock … The XHF is a hardwearing, hardworking Health Sock® for feet which must tackle the cold. The XHF Thermal Sock is ideal for feet working in cold rooms, or outside in cold conditions. They are equally great for keeping your feet warm and protected when your recreational activities take you out into the Winter cold (Hiking, Hunting, Camping, 4 Wheeling, etc.). When the temperature goes down, pull these Thermal Socks up to keep your feet and legs warm and working.
Socks Made for a Purpose. … Every pair of Humphrey Law socks is made for a purpose, on purpose. The XHF Thermal Sock keeps your feet warm and comfortable in the coldest conditions. To achieve this end, the XHF Thermal Sock is crafted from a very thick Wool blend, with a terry-knit interior. Inside, your feet and legs are cushioned and insulated with pure Aussie Wool knit into long terry loops which keep warm air in and cold air out. Humphrey Law then adds a Nylon shell with reinforced heels and toes for extended wear life. The final, essential element is that the XHF Thermal Sock is created using Humphrey Law’s proprietary Health Sock® technology.
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. Humphrey Law uses the maximum amount of the Australian Merino Wool, and the minimum amount of petroleum-based poly fibers necessary to fit the purpose for each sock. 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. 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.
What Makes This Sock Special? This soft, smooth fitting, yet rugged, Thermal Sock is the all-purpose cold killing sock. It will keep your feet warm and comfortable, at work or at play, where the temperatures have dropped. More Wool, more densely knit, the Humphrey Law way, is what makes the XHF Thermal Sock so effective. Beyond the basics, this is why the XHF Thermal Sock makes such a difference for your feet:
- Regulate Temperature … 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. This Thermal Sock uses more Wool, more densely knit into insulated cushioning loops, to wick moisture away, hold warm air in, and keep cold air out.
- Moisture Wicking … Nothing good happens when your feet are wet. Whether that be from rain, snow, water, or sweat. Damp socks and cold feet can drop the temperature of your entire body and make it extremely difficult to function. Damp socks and hot feet create a breeding ground for blisters, odor, and foot fungus. Humphrey Law’s method of terry-knitting the inside of this sock puts the maximum amount of soft, moisture wicking Wool against your body, to draw away sweat and vent it as vapor. Keeping your feet dryer, and comfortably warm.
- Shock Absorption … The resilient terry-knit cushioning in the XHF Thermal Sock is like having thousands of little shock absorbers surrounding your feet and legs to help soften the beating your feet and legs take. Unlike other fibers (natural or synthetic) which lie down and die at the first bit of pressure, Merino Wool has a “memory” and always seeks to bounce back to its original shape. Cushioning your feet all day, while keeping those air pockets open to keep the warm air in and the cold air out.
- No Pressure … You get enough pressure on the job. You don’t need your socks to put pressure on your feet. The XHF Thermal Sock is a Humphrey Law Health Sock®. Meaning, your body is allowed to circulate the way it is designed, which assists in regulating body temperature, and endurance.
- Now you know why the XHF Thermal Sock is the right sock to keep your feet warm and dry when it’s cold outside. Looking for the best socks for other purposes?

Crafted From: 70% Merino Wool, 30% Nylon
Style Code: XHFExcellence 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.
