Alpaca HIKING Socks Are the Ultimate Adventure Companion

The right gear makes all the difference. When I started Bear&Wolf, the goal was to make products that I’d trust for my own adventures—stuff that's durable, comfortable, and built for the journey. If you’re like me, you know a good pair of socks isn’t just an afterthought; it’s the foundation of every hike, and every long day on your feet.


So, let me tell you why alpaca hiking socks have become my go-to—and why they should be yours too.


Unmatched Comfort, Mile After Mile

I get it—comfort is everything when you’re out exploring. Alpaca wool has a softness that’s hard to beat, without the itchiness of regular wool. Whether you’re miles into a hike or enjoying a Sunday stroll, you need socks that won’t distract you or rub you the wrong way. Alpaca wool’s natural temperature regulation keeps your feet warm when it’s cold and cool when the sun’s beating down, so you’re comfortable whatever the journey.


Keeping Your Feet Dry and Happy

Wet feet can ruin an adventure faster than anything. Alpaca wool is naturally moisture-wicking, so it keeps your feet dry and helps prevent blisters—even on the most grueling hikes. Unlike other materials, alpaca wicks moisture and resists odor, so your socks stay fresher longer. That means more time out on the trails and less time worrying about foot care.

Built to Go the Distance

When I was testing our Alpaca Cushioned Walking Socks, comfort and durability were top of my list. These socks have extra cushioning in high-impact areas—like the heel and ball of the foot—so they provide serious comfort and support, even on long hikes. And because they’re made from resilient alpaca fibers, they hold up wash after wash, hike after hike. If you’re looking for socks that won’t quit, these have you covered.


Gentle on Skin and Easy to Look After

Traditional wool can cause all sorts of irritation, but alpaca wool is hypoallergenic and lanolin-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. And, when you’re back from a day outdoors, our alpaca socks are machine washable and ready for the next trip. It’s low maintenance, high performance—perfect for those of us with enough on our plates.


Crafted in Britain with 120 Years of Heritage

When you slip on a pair of our socks, you’re not just wearing another piece of gear—you’re stepping into a story that’s been woven through four generations. Our socks are made right here in the UK by a family with over 120 years of sock-making expertise. By choosing Bear&Wolf, you’re supporting real British craftsmanship and the legacy of a family that believes in gear that keeps up with life’s adventures—just like we do.


The Bear&Wolf Difference

We're not just about selling great products; our mission is about creating gear that fits into real lives. As a parent, founder, full-time worker and weekend adventurer, I know firsthand the importance of gear that works as hard as we do. With every step, you’re supporting a small, family-run business that’s main goal is to help you get outside and stay outside.
