6) The majority of socks are made from cotton.


Cotton is one of the most common materials for socks because it's breathable and lightweight. Plus, it's inexpensive which helps create a more affordable sock. Cotton also absorbs moisture so you'll be able to wear them longer without feeling uncomfortable. The only downside is that cotton doesn't have great elasticity or durability so they can wear out faster than other materials like wool or nylon. Other materials like wool are less likely to stretch out in size or shape over time as well. They're also more resistant to bacteria growth so your feet will be able to stay cleaner.
