What are these socks made out of? That's the only thing I don't see listed, is what the fibers used in these socks are. I am looking for cotton socks, or at least mostly cotton socks.

Yes, the socks are made of cotton and they provide a tide fix, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

my guess would be synthetic in the calf area and cotton or a blend for the foot area. I doubt there is wool

They are a crew sock, and I believe they are 100% cotton. I took the blue wrappers off, so cannot be totally sureabout the 100%. But I am 100% satisfied, and have ordered these before, and just reordered again.

I don't know what material they are made from. They go over my knees so I fold them down. They stay in place unlike cotton. They are not bulky. I wear them when I work out and I really like them.

I believe these are made from fabric called "birds eye" cotton - it is also commonly used for fabric baby diapers and generally available as fabric by the yard. If you can do a google image search you may be able to find some good close ups of the weave.

They're microfiber. So they're not cotton. They're incredibly soft and breathable though.

they have a cottony feel but no where did I ever see what they are actually made of so I assume not cotton but what

The retailer that originally posted the description on Amazon did that. That's why we describe them in OUR description section that they are a cotton/poly blend. Always read the 'Condition' section of each seller to see the most accurate description.

These are NO LONGER 100% cotton. They used to be. They are now 55$% cotton, 44% polyester, 1% spandex

The tag indicates it is made of 60% polyester 20% nylon and 20% metallic lurex. It also indicates that they were made in Taiwan R.O.C. FYI: I have sensitive skin but these have not caused any reactions for me yet. Also, they are meant to be worn underneath other gloves or socks to create the warmth so they are thin. I have only used the socks and they work really well, without making my feet to hot, and I haven't had a hole yet.

There're crew socks. My husband is diabetic and likes these over regular socks.

I honestly don't know either. I would guess they have some cotton content but no idea how much.

Well, I can say this (because I've had them for a couple months now) it doesn't wash like cotton. It washes like micro-fiber and feels like it. IF it is cotton I'm confused. /shrug

i wear the merino wool, ones year around and i love them . i personally don't like the lighter ones, but my daughter loves them , i do not think the lighter ones has enough padding . i would try both and decide from there. the socks last forever.

They do not look like medical socks and are not too tight. They are extremely comfortable and make good everyday or gym socks. I believe they are called diabetic socks, since they don't have any seams that might cut off circulation for someone who has diabetes.

No,that was "Olestra"!! Olefin fiber is a synthetic fiber made from a polyolefin, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. It is used in wallpaper, ropes, vehicle interiors, and apparently these socks!
