For hiking, do I need to buy special socks or are cotton socks fine?
Black Socks at the Office

I heard that synethetic material socks are better - or are cotton socks good enough?
What about 2 cotton socks (on each foot) to offset any blistering?


Cotton is not preffered. Cotton gets wet from sweat and rubs giving blisters. You are better off with hiking socks that are designed to wick away moisture.

However if you are on doing recreational hiking here and there regular socks are ok.

Can I dye white cotton socks to look black?
Black Socks at the Office

The black socks sold in stores aren't good for my feet, since they're usually made of polyester which ends up making my feet sweaty. Can I dye my white cotton socks with something to make them look black? Does anyone have experience doing this?


At Walmart they sell black gym socks which are cotton and not expensive at all. They may have black gym socks at a sporting good store too but a little more pricey. I wear black gym socks for work and they look like dress socks. Dying is such a hassle but it can be done. Use Rit dye. They may run when you sweat though.

If you dye I'll never speak to you again! heh-heh

Have a great day!!!

Why shouldn't you wear cotton socks while running?
fskl

I run cross country. I went to a running store and they said that non-cotton socks should be worn while running. They didn't go into the reason why. Will I run better if I wear non-cotton socks/no socks?


If in really warm weather, you can sweat a bunch and cotton socks can possibly cause blisters (mainly if socks are lose). I've usually 95% train in cotton socks and will run races in the dri-fit light ones. Not wearing socks may cause blisters, but you may can get away with it. Go with some low cut dri-fit socks is what I'd recommend. Good Luck

Where in the UK can I get the cheapest decent (thick) white cotton socks from? (Above the ankle) I'm a size 12?
sox finito

I want decent Quality (not necessarily branded - don't need Nike or Wilson's etc) sports socks (for Badminton, running etc), I think 100% cotton are best (?) so I would problem like to hear answers which are 100% cotton (so nothing cheap from Sports Direct, Sports World).

Thanks

I'm up for buying 3 pairs maybe a few more.

  • Cotton Socks: Busy Bee

    In the morning (or what was left of it), we went and got the oil changed (and the air filter changed, and the rear axle fluid changed, and the car vacuumed) and inspected (it was only two weeks overdue!). And then we went to Target, where we picked up some essentials (like bread, milk, prenatal vitamins, etc.) and then home again. I was due to meet my friend A for tea in less than an hour, so I puttered around in the house while DH started clearing the patio. Then back home, where we worked to decorate the patio. There is still work to be done (much of what was pruned needs to be bagged and tossed, the beds need to be turned over and the patio needs to be weeded and swept yet). But we put...
