I want navy or grey cotton socks, why oh why are they advertised as cotton when they are not 100% cotton .

Am I alone in wanting 100% cotton ?

Bamboo is usually a mixture with cotton anyway and always soft and cool. I tend to buy socks for men as they have the plain colours and I don't like the girly ones.

Always use to wear cotton socks but I am now hooked on bamboo socks, so lovely and soft, warm in winter and cool in summer. Give them a try.

Unfortunately I think I have the world's sweatiest feet. I pad around the house in thick hiker's cotton socks in winter (slippers are generally not machine washable) but mostly bare feet in summer. What I love are cotton embroidered Chinese insoles. really great for summer when wearing socks is just too much. I just chuck them in the machine after a day's wear. They seem to last forever. I have at least ten pairs.

I bought some knee-high bamboo socks from Debenhams last month - 2 prs for £10. Navy or beige. I bought navy for under knee high winter boots. They're very lightweight.

I buy online from Sock Shop. They have a huge selection including comfort tops at very reasonable prices.

I am a bamboo sock convert, too. Bought them in Tesco’s.
