How can one make cotton socks softer? (lemmy.ml)

I have cotton socks, and they are really ruff to wear, and I stopped wearing them when I started to suspect that they were causing chaffing on parts of my feet.

Are there ways to make them softer, are my socks bad, do I only have the choice of polyester socks???

have u tried good ole fashion wool?

Agreed. My wool socks are soft and warm, everything else feels like sandpaper in comparison.

I second this. Murino Wool socks are a game changer. They are not scratchy either. I'm wearing a pair now. Also they are all season, not just for the cold.
