Stockman Health Sock® (Style 20C)
A hardwearing thick wool sock, an excellent all-purpose sock for work or recreation. This sock has a resilient pure wool terry-knitted cushion sole inside as wool is the best fibre for padding as it will not lie down and die like synthetic fibres do. This is a Health Sock® with no tight elastic top and is a great wool work sock with all work boots, but note our Feet First sock (Style 32C) is especially designed for steel-capped boots. Note also that the multi-coloured socks have a slightly longer leg than the plain coloured socks.

Sock Sizes
The critical consideration when buying socks is to get the correct foot length. Sock lengths are usually given by reference to shoe size, but to get a more accurate measure you can stand on a ruler, and measure the longest part of your foot in centimeters.
Most Humphrey Law socks for adults are made in small, medium and large foot sizes. Details of these appear below but broadly speaking :
the SMALL size fits the average ladies’ foot, or a men’s small foot;
the MEDIUM size fits the average men’s foot, or a ladies’ large foot; and
the LARGE size fits the men’s large foot.
Details of sizing for children’s socks, extra wide socks, and Ankle Foot Orthotic (AFO) socks are also listed below, and are followed by details about the (leg) length of socks.
Adult Socks
| Aus/UK Shoe Size | Euro Shoe Size | Foot Length | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 3 – 8 (Ladies’ shoe) 4.5 – 6 (Men’s shoe) |
35 – 41 | 22 – 26 cm |
| Medium/Regular | 8 – 11 (Ladies’ shoe) 7 – 10 (Men’s shoe) |
40 – 45 | 25 – 29 cm |
| Large/King | 10 – 13 (Men’s shoe) | 46 – 51 | 30 – 35 cm |
| Extra Large | 13 – 16 (Men’s shoe) | 50 – 55 | 36 – 39 cm |
Children’s Socks
| Aus/UK Shoe Size | To Suit Ages | |
|---|---|---|
| Children’s Small | 5 – 8 | 3 – 5 |
| Children’s Medium | 9 – 12 | 5 – 8 |
| Children’s Large | 13 – 3 | 8 – 10 |
Extra Wide Socks
As noted above, sock sizes are usually quoted in terms of foot length. However extra large feet are likely to be wider or more bulky as well as longer. As socks are a knitted fabric, when they are stretched width-ways the sock necessarily becomes shorter. This often makes it difficult for someone with extra large feet to find the most comfortable sock for them.
Humphrey Law Extra Wide socks are knitted to stretch: from 18 to 46cm around the widest part of the foot; from 23 to 48cm around the foot from the back of the heel to the top of the foot; and from 16 to 50cm around the lower leg.
Socks with extra width are available in the following sizes. If you have larger feet and are unsure which sock will be best for you, feel free to send us an email including details of the width and length of your foot, the circumference around the heel, and around the lower leg. We will then suggest the likely best size sock for you.

Leg Lengths
The length of a sock is measured on the leg, from the floor to the top of the sock. Measuring the length of a sock as it sits on-the-shelf will not produce an accurate result. The “relaxed” shelf leg length varies according to the amount of lycra in the sock, the thickness of the sock and the time it has sat on the shelf.
Most socks – with a “C” as the third character in the full Style code – have leg lengths around 18 to 22cm (Ladies’) or around 22 to 26cm (men’s) depending on their contents.
Our half-hose socks come to just below the knee, they are Styles 05H (40cm long), 11H (45cm long) and 86H (40cm long).
The cotton walk sock (Style 54W) has considerable stretch and while it can look short on the shelf its leg length when worn is 45cm.
Mid-calf socks style 22H Grass Seed sock is about 35cm long.
Ankle sports socks (Style 36A and 57A) have a 3cm leg. And the cushion-sole sports socks (Styles 33A, 33B, 47A and 47B) have a 10 to 12 cm leg.
Invisible Socks
Please refer to the particular sizing information on the Invisible Sock page.
I used to think socks were socks until I bought these, the feeling is unbelievable it is like walking on soft carpet, not tight around any part of the foot just hugs the foot firmly. Thanks guys nothing comes close to your product.
We’d bought socks from all over the world in an attempt to find the magic pair that would keep my son’s feet comfortable during his very long work days in RM Williams and sometimes work boots. I bought him a pair of Stockman Health Socks eight months ago – they still look lofty and new despite being on high wear and wash rotation. I’ve bought him more since because he says they’re the best socks he’s ever worn. They fit well, they breathe well and they feel great. Plus they’re Australian made – I won’t bother shopping anywhere else. Thanks, you’ve no idea how much your socks have improved his work day.
I wear Humphrey Law socks & have recommended them to many friends.I have ordered to take overseas as presents

The Stockman Health Socks are the most comfortable, yet durable, socks I’ve ever worn! The three pairs I have in the Chocolate Sage colour are still going strong over one year on. They are on my feet for around 12 hours a day, inside heavy duty work boots, and washed 2-3 times a week yet they are still as good as new. Definitely worth the cost which equates to quality and comfort. My wife initially purchased these socks for me based on the review left by Elisa Chapple. I’ve just ordered another 4 pair. The knit of the Sand coloured ones feels tighter and not as ‘pliable’ as the Chocolate Sage, consequently my wife wears them around the house to keep her feet warm even though they are too big for her (Chuckle)
Love these socks!
They are lovely and thick,wick moisture well and are super comfortable.
I wear these daily to work and these socks are head and shoulders over any others I’ve owned.
Grab a pair, 20 bucks to change your definition of socks!
I absolutely love these socks. I have multiple pairs (all in red), which I wear in rotation from mid-autumn until the end of spring, every year. They are the best, most comfortable and hard-wearing socks that I have ever owned. When I eventually do wear a hole in the toe of one of my socks, I get out my ball of red wool and darning needles and I repair them….they are just too good to throw away!
PS. I have just ordered 2 more pairs, in red, of course!
