Fibre Composition
Fibre Composition
24% Alpaca Wool · 35% Merino Wool · 21% Nylon · 15% Polyester · 5% Spandex
You'll notice we're not claiming 100% alpaca wool — and that's on purpose. Pure alpaca, while incredibly warm and soft, has no structure. It stretches out, wears through fast, and shrinks in the wash. Not what you want in a work sock.
Instead, we paired it with merino wool for natural softness and temperature regulation, nylon and polyester for durability where it counts, and a touch of spandex so they hold their shape all day. The alpaca does what alpaca does best — keeps your feet warm and dry — the rest of the blend makes sure the sock actually lasts
Size Guide
Size Guide
Pick your size by your normal shoe size.
Small / Medium — UK 5–9 (EU 39–42, US 7–9)
Large / X-Large — UK 10–13 (EU 43–47, US 10–13)
Got a smaller foot and your size isn't showing? No bother — the larger size will still fit you fine. Alpaca has plenty of natural stretch, so the only difference is the sock rising a little higher up your leg. In a work boot you'll never notice.
Between two sizes? Size down for a snugger fit or up for more room — both work.
Every pair is knitted to grip through the arch and stay put, so no slipping down into your boot on a long shift.

Built for Long Days in Boots and Wellies
★★★★★ Rated 4.7/5 by 300+ Irish & UK workers.
COMFORTABLE ON 12-HOUR DAYS
Soft alpaca wool blend with a cushioned heel and sole. No itch, no rubbing, just feet that still feel right when you get home.
DRY IN WET BOOTS
Wool draws sweat away from your skin instead of holding it like cotton, so your feet stay drier in work boots and wellies.
NO HOLES IN A MONTH
Reinforced heel and toe take the beating, right where cheap socks wear through first.
WARM THROUGH WINTER
Holds in heat better than cotton, so cold mornings in the yard or on site don't mean cold feet.

Founded by a 16-year-old from Co. Kildare
I’m Ollie McCartan, 16, from Straffan, Co. Kildare, and I run Toesie on my own. It started with my dad. He’s a mechanic who spends ten-plus hours a day on a concrete floor, and he’d come home with cold, damp, wrecked feet, in socks that were holed within months. I just wanted to fix that. Looking for something that actually holds up led me to alpaca, the same fibre that’s kept South American farmers warm for generations. Read the full story →
WHY THEY WORK
Why your feet stay dry and comfortable
1
Sweat moves away from your skin
Wool draws moisture away from your feet instead of soaking it up like cotton, so there’s no clammy, wet sock halfway through the day.
2
Cushioned from heel to toe
Soft, smooth alpaca blend with no itch or rub like cheap wool, and a cushioned heel and sole for long days on hard ground.

Tested on real building sites and farms, not in a lab
These socks were put through wet fields, steel-toe boots and 12-hour shifts by farmers and tradesmen across Ireland and the UK before we ever sold a pair. If they couldn’t survive a working week, they didn’t make the cut. What’s left is a work sock built for graft: warm, comfortable, and tough enough to outlast cheap socks.
✓Worn on farms & sites across IE & UK
✓Put through steel-toe boots & 12-hr shifts
✓If it couldn’t survive a working week, it was cut
What changes when you put them on
First shift
Dry, cushioned feet from the first step. No damp cotton, no sore feet by lunchtime.
First week
Pull your boots off after a long day and your feet are drier and fresher than they ever were in cotton.
First winter
Warm toes on cold, wet mornings, and a reinforced heel and toe still going strong when cheap socks are full of holes.
For someone who lives in work boots
Nearly half our customers buy Toesie for someone else: husbands, sons, daughters dads and partners who spend their days on farms and building sites. It’s an easy present to get right.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
They keep your feet a lot drier than cotton. Wool draws sweat away from your skin instead of soaking it up, so you don’t get that wet, clammy sock halfway through the day. They’re socks, not waterproofs, so water coming in over the top of a boot will still get in, but wool stays warmer when damp than cotton does.
Yes. The alpaca wool blend holds in heat better than cotton, so they’re made for cold mornings in the yard or on site. Plenty of our customers wear them all year round.
Just go by their normal shoe size: UK 5–9 or UK 10–13. Not sure? Go for the larger size; there’s plenty of stretch, so it still fits well. Got it wrong? Swap it for free within 101 days.

With proper care, Toesie socks last 2-3 years of regular wear. The fiber is 4x stronger than sheep's wool, and we reinforce the heels and toes—the areas that typically wear out first. Many of our customers report their socks still look and perform like new after months of daily use in work boots or hiking boots.
Alpaca fiber is 3x warmer than sheep's wool, 4x stronger, and naturally moisture-wicking. Unlike wool, it contains no lanolin, so it won't irritate sensitive skin or cause itching. Cotton traps moisture and loses insulation when wet—alpaca stays warm and dry even in damp conditions. It's also naturally antimicrobial, which means no sock stink even after long shifts in work boots.
No! Alpaca fiber is temperature-regulating, which means it adapts to your body and the weather. The hollow fiber structure provides insulation in cold weather but also wicks moisture away in warm conditions, keeping your feet cool and dry. Many of our customers wear them year-round across Ireland and the UK—from freezing January mornings to warm July days on site.
Not at all. Alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic and contains no lanolin (the substance that makes wool itchy). It's actually softer than cashmere and feels smooth against your skin. If you've had issues with itchy wool socks before, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how comfortable alpaca feels.
Our Premium Alpaca Socks are designed to work year-round thanks to alpaca's natural temperature-regulating properties. The same sock keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, so you don't need different pairs for different seasons. This makes them perfect for unpredictable Irish & UK weather.
How do I wash them?
A: It's easy:
- Machine wash cold (30°C or less)
- Use regular detergent—no special soap needed
- Turn inside out to protect the fibers
- Hang dry or lay flat to dry
Do not:
- Tumble dry (heat damages the fibers)
- Use bleach or fabric softener
- Dry clean
Unlike traditional wool, alpaca won't shrink or felt in the wash if you follow these simple steps.
Sorry You Feel This Way.
We offer a 101-Day Money-Back Guarantee. That's over 3 months to try your Toesie socks risk-free. If you're not completely satisfied, you can return them for a full refund.
Simply email hello@toesie.ie to start a return. We'll send you a return address and process your refund when receiving the socks.

Great socks with good cushioning - true to size. I have used them in hillwalking boots - would recommmend. They also washed really well!
Love them, so warm and cosy, great in my Civil Defence steel toe boots, no blisters. Can you make them in size 4 - 7. Great socks, well done 👍
Bought as a gift so I don't know how they are.
Love the socks
Delighted with the socks.
Absolutely gorgeous. Exactly as described, brilliant for work boots and all day standing. Feet feel great after them.
I got them for my son for working boots he loves them. Only thing is they need to be hand-wash and line dried so it looks like I will need to but more.👍
Socks are warm and comfortable but I thought I was supporting a young Irish company so was disappointed when they took almost 3 weeks to get here from China.
the best socks ive worn, really surprised how comfortable they are and how cool your feet are while still being warm very pleased
Comfortable, feel like insoles
I must say I'm absolutely thrilled with these. I was very skeptical after discovering there was more than alpaca & merino wool in the fabric content as i font like polyester or nylon at all. However after I raised my concerns by email, Ollie replied to them and explained why they were needed to strengthen the natural wools and promised me a full refund if I wasn't happy after trying them. Well, boy was he right. They are super comfy and I havent sweat once in them. I have tried them in my wellies for a day, my shoes at work for 3 days and my boots for 2 days at work, all over the past week now. I am on my feet all day at work. No smell whatsoever from the socks or my feet & remarkably no sweating at all. I really am blown away by these socks. I couldn't recommend them enough. I've actaully ordered another 6 pairs just last night in a different colour as my wife loved them in her hiking boots. So well done Ollie 👏 and thank you genuinely for making a huge change to the health of my feet. Paul Hurley (Kerry)
Very comfortable
The soks are lovely but they took awhile to get here and I got the impression there were made in ireland.
I got three pairs of these ahead of the oncoming winter weather. I am a stonemason so I spend all day on my feet, usually buried in muck and dirt so dry and warm feet are an essential part of me being productive. These socks fit great, with a lovely fleece like inside and durable exterior. They don’t bunch up in my boots over the course of the day, and most importantly they don’t make my feet sweat. I have yet to see how durable they remain over the winter, but if they continue to perform as they have started then they will have been a very worthwhile purchase.
Very cosy socks! Great for wellies and winter!
Always used have cold sweaty feet in wellies but not once since I got them .
Socks where grand ,very small though and the packaging was terrible, ment to b a present but the plastic wrap it came in with no labels attached , nothing .. made it look straight from Temu. Very very dissapointing .. for the price.
Delighted with the socks. Unreal is how I'd describe them. Warm, dry feet all day. Great socks. Well worth buying
Both husband and son very happy. Super comfy dont irritate, dont sweat feet and keeps them warm. 5 stars will buy more
It did take a while , but they arrived & my lads do love them …. If your feet ain’t right you won’t feel good !!! 💪💪💪

Second time to buy had to make contact and they got back to me very quickly great product ,very happy with them wear them all the time now
Yes im impressed with them so far very comfortable
Nice comfortable sock. Still haven't tested long enough to see durability. Its a shame the delivery time is so long as it does come from china even though it's advertised as fully Irish I expected a quicker delivery. For the price and delivery length I probably wouldn't purchase again..
I ordered socks over 2 weeks ago; they have been travelling through a very convoluted network since then and have now been sitting in a facility somewhere in the Netherlands for a week. I have had absolutely no communication from the seller, despite my negative review last week. Had I known these socks were being sourced in China, I would not have proceeded with my order. I was under the impression I was buying from an Irish supplier. Customer service is abysmal to say the least.
Ordered socks online took nearly 2 weeks to arrive,as the seller doesn't keep stock in Ireland and they are shipped from China,will never buy again from toesie
Very comfortable feet fresh and dry worth the price
The snuggest sock I’ve ever had
I’m skipping the discount because I have no photo to show but I’m on my way to buy 12 more pairs for my son and daughter because my partner said they were extremely comfortable and brilliant to be wearing in his construction job. I’ve noticed he only wears them for work and I reckon I’ll be needing to buy him more .
Still waiting for my order a week later. No updates on delivery
Still waiting - I can see from tracking that the socks are on their 16th stage of delivery, think you may need to review your logistics.
Husband & son loved them
Haven't worn the product yet so cannot give review. Having said that I was very disappointed to realise that I was not supporting an Irish company on having received the product from china. Received in good time and correspondence was great during delivery process.
Store owner replied: Can you please email me a picture of the packaging
I bought 6 pairs and have them kn rotation, they are so warm and comfortable.
Best socks ever. I used to have cold feet when i was sitting for long periods but now my feet are always warm.
First it very misleading your advertising. You socks are not manufactured in the Republic of Ireland. You don't answer any questions on you site. Only 24% alpaca..so not alpaca .. Merion wool. The merion is probably the only best part. FYI I tried to return but your site would not allow it. Not happy at all
We are farmers and the socks are next level to comfort. They wash well and do not shrink. Will definitely buy more. Thanks and good luck with your business.
Work 12 hours shifts and feet never felt better ,
All day comfort in tough conditions outdoors
