Yeah.. one of those "sayings" that everyone parrots, with little
justification.

While cotton socks are pretty much worthless -- once they're wet,
hello blisters -- the super fabrics aren't a whole lot better.


My understanding is that wool is the best for socks, if you are worried
about getting wet.

My outdoor experience bears that out.

A long time ago I was an instructor for the Army Officer Candidate
School (OCS). Early in the program we made it very clear -- no cotton
socks, issue wool only.

Of course some thought they were exempt, so on mile 5 of a 10 mile
road march the route happens to go through a stream.

Guess who had blisters?

Right -- all the cotton sock wearers.

Wool doesn't keep you dry, BUT it lets the water retained by the sock
warm to body temperature as it slowly evacuates (like a dog's coat).

No one was killed by cotton, but they were certainly uncomfortable and
those that blistered, ineffective.
