    Who picks wool for their fucking socks?

    There’s nothing sexy about wool.

    EDIT: Fucking. Intercourse. Pun.

      Wool socks are the best and I won’t be entertaining assertions to the contrary. Wool is temperature regulating, not just super thick and hot, so there are wool socks you can wear in the summer. They also don’t hold odor (bacteria) as much.

        You are spot on. Add to that, merino wool with an antibacterial coating for sports use eg skiing. Wool socks are the only kind I don’t wear holes through in a matter of months.

        Wool is also more durable than cotton, so buying wool, or wool blend socks makes logical sense for something that takes a lot of wear and tear, ie covering your feet.
