Maybe this should be an adjunct thread to the old why do you wear socks with sandals, or the old Birkenstock thread, but anyway...do any of you have a fav. source for REALLY, REALLY SOFT all-cotton socks? I used to get them at an outlet store in Mystic, CT - all socks, the whole store, but we have nothing like that here.
I've ordered some from FootSmart, online, looked at Cabellas, REI, bought some from the pedorthic services socks stock to no avail. Vermont Country Store lists several selections as "cotton" but if you read the fine print, only one, the costliest at $25/pair, is 100% cotton! It's hard to find anything which is all cotton and, if they are, they seem to get more rough with use and washing, rather than softer.
I thought I'd found some the other day which I could use only to find out they are all cotton but treated with an antibacterial or some such crap to cut down on odour as well as some other treatment, can't remember what, both of which made me itch, plus the socks felt very rough after being washed a few times. (The first wash I do is always with vinegar to take the sizing out.)
