sheryl Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Typically I buy cotton or mostly cotton socks for dh, dd and myself! it's getting increasingly hard to do so. Right now I need white ankle sports to go with my new "New Balance" tennis shoes. Also, I need "liners" (low-cut or low-rise) that will line my leather boots for this upcoming fall and winter that I bought last winter It would be nice to have an assortment of (mostly) cotton socks for whatever the purpose: sport, boots, dressy, etc - again for men and women. Any ideas? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I've had to resort to buying cotton socks on Amazon. The local stores don't seem to sell them anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I think Hanes are still mostly cotton--70-ish percent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleynne Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Look for Buster Brown brand socks. They have lots of different styles that are 100% cotton. I'm also pretty sure you can get them from Amazon or the Vermont Country Store if you can't find them locally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Learn to knit. They'll be the best socks ever. 👠2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 murphy, my mil used to knit and my sister does but i don't have time to take that hobby up right now. knitted items are awesome. thanks for the other suggestions too! i'll revisit amazon. it doesn't help that i'm looking for different thicknesses, colors, etc. i know sock outlets usually associated with outlet malls may have a good selection from time to time. we're going on vacation and "may" be near one but can't guarantee it. lol!

Cecropia Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I think Hanes are still mostly cotton--70-ish percent? Also Jockey. Would you consider merino wool? I really like Smartwool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You can buy cotton socks at Whole Foods. Weird but true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Don't discount other natural fibers. Bamboo in the blend makes for some wonderfully soft socks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheryl Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 wow, I just can NOT get the multi quote to work anymore - frustrating. trulycrabby - thanks for the link. will check it out. carol/ca - thanks for that. we shop at wf. good to know. ravin, right! I had a pair of bamboo knickers and they were great. just prefer the natural fiber (which bamboo is) to "breathe". does bamboo work like cotton to help the skin breathe? murphy - ha. she won't.
