Luxury Socks for People Who Take Socks Seriously

Let’s be honest, life’s far too short to be wearing second-rate socks. 

So, if you’re the kind of person who values warm toes and a little everyday luxury for your feet, you’ve come to the right place. 

Here at the Cambridge Sock Company, we take cosiness very seriously. Our natural fibre socks are the ultimate treat for your feet. Whether you’re padding around the house or heading out on a hike, we believe everyday luxury starts from the ground up.

Made with the finest alpaca, mohair, merino and cashmere natural fibres, our socks offer supreme comfort, cushion soles, breathability, and durability. Plus, with a large collection of styles and colours to choose from, they’re as easy on the eye as they are on your feet. If you’re not sure which pair to pick, just drop us a message and we’ll gladly help you find your perfect match.

Our Story

Some people collect stamps. Nick Wallace collects socks. 

As a lifelong ‘sockophile’, Nick searched high and low for the perfect pair that promised the ideal blend of snugness, softness, and durability. When he couldn’t find what he was looking for, he did what any rational sock enthusiast would do. He started his own sock company!

Nick runs the Cambridge Sock Company from his beautiful Cambridgeshire farm. When he’s not tending to his Australian Lowline cattle, Angora goats, or colony of bees, Nick is sourcing the finest natural fibres from farmers who share his passion, no matter where they are. 

Nick makes sure only the best materials go into making our socks. He finds the finest alpaca wool from Peru, sourced from herds of alpacas living high on the Altiplano deep in the Andes. In South Africa, Nick selects only the best angora fleece from goats that thrive in the Karoo. 

But he doesn’t stop there! Nick acquires the softest merino wool crafted by Portuguese artisans in the heart of the Serra da Estrela mountains, and the Alentejo region.

Each pair is then knitted by expert British craftsmen to create socks that are as high-quality as they are comfortable. In fact, we have a seven step process from fleece to foot.

Nick also has a support team of people who are as passionate about natural fibre socks as he is. Like Julie, head of herd, seen here with one of her alpacas, 
 

and Tina, who brings the Cambridge Sock Company to the great British public at shows and events up and down the country

 

Why Our Socks?

There are socks, and then there are our socks. Here’s why they’re worth pulling on:

• Exceptionally Comfortable: Made from the finest natural fibres, our socks are soft, cosy and breathable. You won’t want to take them off!

• Premium Quality: Our craftsmen use a blend of traditional and modern techniques to ensure every pair is durable and long-lasting.

• Ethically Made: We’re proud to support farmers and craftsmen in South Africa, Peru and the UK who produce the finest natural fibres in the world. By choosing our socks, you’re helping to sustain ethical farming and fair wages.

Giving Back

We believe that our socks should do more than just keep your feet warm. That’s why we donate a percentage of our annual sales to Brooke. This UK-based international charity is dedicated to improving the welfare of working horses, donkeys, and mules.

Step Into Superior Comfort

We like to think of ourselves as a one-stop sock shop (try saying that quickly!). But don’t just take our word for it, put our socks to the test and see for yourself. Whether you’re after everyday luxury, the perfect gift, or just fancy upgrading your sock drawer, we’ve got you covered. The only thing we can’t guarantee is that the odd sock won’t go missing in the wash!
