what are the socks made of and what percentage?

Hi. I'm not sure. they're very heavy, like wool, but there is a lot of stretching, so I'd expect it to be lycra? At any rate, they are comfy, and warm, but it may be too thick for some folks. Hope this helps.

I have never heard that about cotton. I always thought cotton was a comfortable, breathable fiber. I can't offer any scientific proof other than my husband prefers these socks to all his others. They are comfortable, don't dig into the skin, are easy to put on, and seem to wash and wear well. Also, my family doctor recommended white, cotton socks. He said they were the healthiest for the skin. I bought both white and black as sometimes white socks aren't right with dress clothes. I would buy them again.

There is no label inside the socks that indicates the fabric. To me, it feels like a cotton-polyester blend knit. They stretch, and, in my experience, 100% cotton does not stretch.

It's a cotton/poly blend I think. My boys love them - I bought two. They're super soft! They're not super thick though.

Actually the socks are more exquisite in comparison with the ordinary ones. However the fabric is sturdy and durable. I have experience of using the items during several months and there is no sign of deterioration

I don't know. I use these at the airport to cover my socks when you have to take your shoes off.

I dont know what percent of wool they are but I would guess its pretty high. They are very warm and comfortable. I have had mine over a year and they hold up great. I dont put them in the dryer because they did shrink up a little the first time I did that so I let them hang to dry.

I am not sure what they are made of, but they seem to be a blend of a rubberized nylon. They work well, don't slip even when swinging in the hammock, and are durable. I am glad I bought the 2 pairs I did since it makes 'hammocking' easier.

You probably could make socks, but bear in mind that the material is a bit abrasive and also won't take much in the way of movement before tearing.

here is a test that can tell you what they are made of http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DUAL4ZTT6CXT

They are tube socks and the material is 98% nylon and 2% natural latex rubber.

I find this a totally ridiculous question, as you wear them not CONSUME them. They are made of cotton and spandex.

No. there is a seam on the toe section. However, the socks are thick enough that I had not even noticed until I saw your question.

Yes, I love these socks because they are not thick and hot! The first pair I got for my daughter to play softball in (called an all-sports socks at the athletic store) were thick and very hot. These socks are what I would call "performance" material: thick enough to provide protection from blisters, etc., but made of polyester blend the forms to the foot and is much cooler. I really like these socks!

Small amounts of nylon and spandex, but I can't give you exact details. They have a mild stretch to them, but otherwise feel like 100% cotton socks to me.

They're 85% nylon and 15% elastane. I bought my first pairs 3 years ago, great quality and worth the price.
