These are (almost all) cotton socks and are extremely comfortable. I do not like synthetic material socks, which are far too common today. These are a great cotton option.

I've typically worn Gold Toe quarter socks and will compare these to those. The Wigwams are slightly thinner and slightly smaller, a little bit stretchier, and less expensive. Overall I prefer them to the Gold Toe, especially since I don't like the (literal) gold toe stitching effect on Gold Toe socks; I'd prefer my socks simply to be white.

If you're in the middle or lower range on the size chart, or want socks that are not super-thick, then these are a great option. If you're at the high end (size 11 or 12), you likely will find these a little small. I'm size 10 and they fit great, extending about 1 inch above my ankle. At the price, I'd order again and probably will buy these next time instead of Gold Toe.
