For Hikes, Travel, and Everyday Wear
Especially on longer distances, the choice of the right socks makes a noticeable difference. The APU KUNTUR trekking model is designed for people who spend a lot of time on their feet and value a combination of warmth, cushioning, and durable material. The anthracite version can be easily combined with hiking boots, sturdy casual shoes, and everyday clothing. The balanced material blend is also practical for traveling to regions with changing temperatures.
What Makes the Material Blend Special
With 52 percent alpaca, the focus is on a natural fiber known for its soft feel and temperature-regulating properties. Another 35 percent wool adds to the warming character. The 11 percent nylon content increases the fabric's durability, while two percent elastane supports the elastic fit. The blend is therefore deliberately designed for use as a functional sock, not just for an exceptionally soft feel when first putting them on.
Comfort in Particularly Stressed Areas
The loop structure on the inside creates a softer contact surface with the foot. Reinforced areas are provided at the heel and toes, where friction and pressure often occur inside the shoe. Together with the elastic cuff, this supports a comfortable fit while walking. The actual fit also depends on the shape of the foot and the shoe being worn.
Size Selection Guide
Available sizes are S for shoe sizes 36 to 38, M for 39 to 41, L for 42 to 44, and XL for 45 to 48. Choose the size based on your usual shoe size. If you are between two sizes, consider whether you prefer the sock to fit snugly or offer a little more room. For long hikes, a wrinkle-free fit inside the shoe is particularly important.
Conscious Care
Alpaca and wool are high-quality fibers that benefit from gentle handling. Wash the socks on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees and use a wool detergent. Avoid bleach and excessive heat when drying. After washing, the socks should be air-dried. This helps preserve the material properties and shape for as long as possible.
