How good could socks be that cost $1.50 a pair? Exactly. No good. I want to purchase some comfortable, high-cotton content athletic socks that aren't made so thick that they add a shoe size to my feet. Apparently, that is no longer possible. Everything is either loaded with synthetic fibers, or qualifies for use in the Arctic. Don't waste your money on these "socks" unless you have a knidergarten craft class that is making puppets.
