Warm Alpaca socks make winter fun

| January 16, 2013 8:00 PM

With the cold snowy days upon us in North Idaho, it is important to keep active outdoors and enjoy all the beautiful scenery winter brings us. My husband and I enjoy walks with our dogs down to the shore at Hayden Lake and last week took an evening stroll around the resort boardwalk to have a 360 view of the beautiful holiday lights.

Wearing warm socks can mean the difference between being able to remain outdoors all day long and needing to stop your winter fun to get inside to warm up. Cold feet can really put a damper on your winter activities because having cold feet will make the rest of your body feel cold. Once you get a chill, you are pretty much done for the day and will have to go inside to warm up while everyone continues having fun without you.

Warm feet are a result of warm socks and warm feet will keep you happy and content for the entire day. Our Alpaca socks are made with natural hollow core fibers that work like tiny insulation tubes that surround your feet. These same fibers are what allow

Alpacas to survive at a 13,000 foot elevation in the high mountain regions of Peru. The next time you plan some outdoor winter fun, try to remember your warm alpaca socks. It can help you last the entire day without even noticing just how cold it is outside.

The good news is that we have the best socks around to keep you warm: Alpaca Socks from Alpaca Direct. We're excited to introduce you our new Alpaca Socks made with Alpacor.
