Yes, cotton socks are soft. But they also get soggy and stinky, and they're forever falling down around your ankles. Give your pesky cotton socks the boot, and switch to Stay-Put Performance Crew Socks. They feel cotton-y soft, but manage moisture and cushion shock like no socks you've ever rocked. Memory knit construction means they stay put on your foot – no bunching, creeping or chafing. The midweight knit even fends off blisters, and mesh zones in the ankle and toe give feet a breather. Aegis Microbe Shield® fights odors and stains. But the biggest deal is, the polyester we use in our socks is 25 times more durable than cotton, so you're gonna be lovin' these socks for a good long time.
