Are the Alpaca socks the real deal? Anyone that uses them are they warmer than wool? And how about durability,
washing and drying, etc.

Where did you get them?I think they are.
Ive used merino wool for forever and I like them but the 2 pair of alpaca socks I have are better.
I also got alpaca insoles and my feet have never been more comfortable.
I have used mine at 28 degrees twice and they are pretty nice.I bought some from @DanO as I've read good things on here. Hasn't been cold enough here yet to need them. Seem legit to me so far.
I got the socks at the Harrisburg show a couple years ago. I got 2 different weights.Where did you get them?
Assume heavier weight.
I have not had stink foot with mine. Bit I'm really meticulous with foot and boot care so that may contribute to the lack of stench.Do they get stinky? I love how merino wool doesn’t get gross after 16 hours in waterproof boots.
After going my whole life in cotton athletic socks, wool was a hell of an improvement to warmth and sweat/ funk issues.
Have you tried them in cold weather?I have used mine at 28 degrees twice and they are pretty nice.
What are you wearing as liners? I've thought about trying that method but I've been pretty good with just lightweight wool socks now. Just not sure if I walk a few miles if my feet will blister or not.Don’t remember brand but mine have been treating me well. Liner socks then alpaca socks go over.
Just some cheap ones from Amazon. Surprisingly makes a difference and I have noticed less sweaty/clammy feet. I also wear uninsulated boots and boot blankets (I don’t put them on right away, maybe after an hour in the tree). This has been the best combo for me in MN.What are you wearing as liners?
