Why would anyone in this world want to wear polyester socks?

Ugh… Every time I go shopping for socks I must spend my time searching for the right materials. About 95% of the socks I find on the market, ranging from random hypermarkets to expensive brands, contain a certain amount of polyester.

I understand that polyester is cheaper, but in my opinion it is absolutely wrong to wear polyester socks. They are completely useless. They cause rashes to the skin, suffocate the skin and doesn’t let it breathe, making it sweat and are useless during winter because they don’t keep warm.

Polyester socks are good if you need something really cheap, for a really short time. But that’s it. If you are looking for socks to wear all day, there is absolutely no possibility to actually wear and feel good in polyester socks.

So, when I buy socks, I want them to be good quality and I am willing to pay more. So I go to look directly at the more expensive socks, but to my surprise they always contain around 25% – 30% polyester.

And the most annoying thing is that most of these socks are marketed as “cotton socks” but if you read closely the cotton amount doesn’t exceed 75%.

Happily, I still find 100% cotton socks. But they are increasingly rare…

People should be more aware about the fact that they are buying polyester, not cotton, and they actually shouldn’t be wearing polyester because it is bad and unhealthy.
