Ribbon Adult sherpa socks with turndown

Product Overview

The Ribbon Adult Sherpa Socks offer a superior solution for those seeking thermal comfort during the colder months. Designed as a practical alternative to traditional slippers, these socks are engineered with a plush Sherpa lining that provides exceptional warmth for individuals working from home or relaxing after a demanding shift. The turndown cuff adds a classic aesthetic, while the technical construction ensures they remain a reliable staple for autumn and winter footwear.

Key Features

• Integrated non-slip grippers on the sole provide essential traction on smooth indoor surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
• The soft-touch Sherpa lining offers immediate thermal insulation, trapping heat to keep feet warm in draughty environments.
• A generous turndown design allows for a secure fit around the ankle, ensuring the socks stay in place during movement.
• Constructed from durable 100% polyester, these socks are designed to withstand regular domestic laundering without losing their shape or softness.

Design & Performance

Crafted from a substantial 100% polyester knit, these slipper socks prioritise heat retention and wearer comfort. The fabric choice ensures a soft handle against the skin, avoiding the irritation often associated with coarser wool alternatives. Despite their plush interior, the socks maintain a structured fit that accommodates a range of foot sizes comfortably. The inclusion of non-slip sole elements makes them a safe choice for navigating tiled or laminate flooring in residential or office-from-home settings.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

Please note that due to the high-pile texture of the Sherpa lining and the knit construction of these socks, they are not suitable for our standard print or embroidery services. The depth of the fabric prevents branding from sitting flush, which would compromise the professional finish we demand. For branded footwear alternatives, we recommend exploring our range of customisable work boots or slippers where branding can be applied more effectively.

Use Cases

These socks are an excellent choice for staff operating in remote or home-office environments where comfort is paramount. They also serve as an ideal high-quality gift or "stocking filler" for team members during the festive season. Their unisex design makes them a versatile addition to any staff welfare pack intended for the winter months.

Why MyWorkwear

Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been at the forefront of the UK workwear industry. Based in Telford, our decades of expertise ensure that every product we select meets our rigorous standards for quality and durability. While these socks focus on comfort, they are backed by the same technical scrutiny we apply to our most rugged industrial garments.

Practical Advice

These socks are sized to fit UK 7-11, providing a flexible fit for most adults. For maximum thermal efficiency, they can be worn as a standalone item or layered over lightweight cotton socks in exceptionally cold conditions. The turndown cuff can be adjusted to provide extra warmth around the lower calf if required.

Caring for your product

To maintain the performance and softness of the Sherpa lining, these socks are fully machine washable. Regular laundering ensures hygiene and refreshes the pile of the fabric, preventing it from flattening over time.

We recommend following standard laundry protocols and avoiding harsh chemicals like bleach. Excessive heat during the drying process may cause the synthetic fibres to stiffen, so air drying is often the best method to preserve the original texture and comfort. Ensuring the socks are completely dry before use will also prevent the non-slip grippers from losing their effectiveness.
