One of my friends who used Sports Socks in a hill area during winter described this experience. When he went out for a walk it was too cold. He returned to his cottage after an hour or so. After entering his cottage first he removed his shoes. Then when he wanted to change his socks by removing the socks which he was wearing, he was unable to, since the socks was sticking to his feet strongly, making it difficult for him to remove. Finally he removed it by cut opening the socks. Do you have a similar experience? Can you please explain why it is so?

Cotton is a natural fiber and excellent in the summer when you tend to sweat, as it will absorb the sweat. However in the winter, well you know how cotton socks operate and it is not advisable to wear them in the winter. Instead you need to find 100% wool socks. For a reason I do not know, wool socks help with the circulation and are good for those who have circulation problems.

D15AV0W3D gives a great answer and I'd just like to back it up by adding that when cotton absorbs water it looses nearly all of its insulating qualities (by 70% or more). The great thing with wools, fleeces and other synthetic fibers is that not only do they wick moisture away but they maintain their insulating qualities if they do get wet.
