Socks Cotton 100

My husband works outside & needs warm (thicker) socks. He doesn't like synthetic materials b/c they make his feet sweat.

I'd like to purchase 100% cotton socks for him (online), and preferably made in USA and sold through someone here in the States.

TIA for any help!

For a made in the USA 100% organic cotton sock try rawganique.com. Keep in mind there really isn't a 100% cotton sock because without elastic/lycra, the sock would not stay up. However for a warm and thick sock I would highly recommend a wool sock.

Wool keeps the sweat and moisture away from the foot and just a little more info on 100% Cotton, cotton socks fail the blister test...

A study at the University of Missouri-Columbia of athletic socks found "... that 100 percent cotton socks were usually the worst especially when a person started to sweat," said Robert Mooney, MU biological engineering student in a press release.

Hope that's all helpful!

Exclusive of elastic (Non Binding Leg) -Loose fitting top wont restrict circulation!
Content: 100% Cotton
Seamless toe reduces irritation

Seems easy but I've combed the internet!! I can find 100% cotton ankle socks or non-cotton knee high length, but none in the magic combination. Preferrably women's.

100% knee highs are not made because they won't stay up. Some spandex or elastic is needed.

These stores carry a sock that comes close:

But I am sitting at work and I had to take my feet out of my shoes because my feet are drenched in sweat.. What gives?? I thought cotton socks prevent this.. Is it my shoes?? I know the heel of my shoes are hard as a rock.. Could that be it??

Oh geez, not again!!!


I think you misunderstood people - cotton socks don't completely prevent foot sweating, but they absorb more sweat. You must be extra sweaty. Maybe try out some new shoes. Perhaps theres a glandular problem.

I understand that the maximum % of cotton that can be used in socks making is 85%. The remaining 15% will be of synthetic material like Nylon, Poly Propylene, etc.
This is for "Miss Suki". When we ask this question to shopkeepers at the time of buying socks, they mislead us by telling that the cotton socks they sell are 100% cotton. I was under this myth for nearly 10 years. Recently only I came to know about this. Hence I though I can inform others who don't know about this.

Yes, I knew that. Did you really want an answer to this question...or just make a statement???
