"Wool Boot Socks"
65% Acrylic, 20% Wool, 15% Nylon.
I guess "Acrylic Boot Socks" just doesn't sound as good.

Merino wool is the only way to go, flock acrylic and nylon. You pay more for merino wool but they can be worn year round, I get medium weight so they can be worn by themselves most of the time and as a liner sock when the weather is frigid.

When buying will Sox, always look at the label. Many are far from “wool”

Very funny. BTW, Costco is selling a similar type of blended socks that many quite like. I have several pairs and they shrink unless washed by hand.
A few of the Alaskan writers of hunting and guide books recommend AGAINST wool as holding too much moisture. They claim their experience favors acrylics and even Orlon [Tony Russ].
And of course Wiggy says only his Lamilite/Climashield booties are the best and take the place of socks,

Dem werl fermers musta be gettin reech. Not only that, but I heard on drudge that the border caravan is smugglin' that damn acrylic!! And it's Mexican "black tar" acrylic, very potent. If you're not careful your feet will overheat and spontaneously combust!

It'd be Darn Tough for me to even consider Cabela's China socks.

My sheep outfitter and all his guides used wool, so I did too. We got rained on for days on end, everything we had was wet. No problem whatsoever. Personally, I like the feel of wool better than synthetics for socks. Synthetics feel clammy to me. _____________ I see what you did there mtnboomer.....the good thing about the chisox is the price, 4 pr. for $19. Good for working around the house and stuff.

Socks made with a blend of other fibers and only 20% or less Merino wool are pretty common and not a big deal.

Except when they market them as "wool socks." It might not be illegal, but it's bullshart.

I guess "Acrylic Boot Socks" just doesn't sound as good. Bass Pro Shops advertising right there. Its how they were able to take a good company over.
