    I recommend cotton hose for summer wear.

    Many forum members have been very satisfied with the cotton Kilt Socks from Hamilton Dry Goods: http://www.hamiltondrygoods.com/sock.html

    I just got two pairs of hose from Sock Dreams, but haven't had time to test drive them yet: http://www.sockdreams.com/_shop/page...ductID_862.php

    Even before I started wearing kilts I wore wool socks year round. Cotton socks have so many negative things going for them that I won't wear them no matter what. Wool wicks perspiration away from your feet and cotton just absorbs it and holds it there. As much as I hear people say, "I just don't know how you can wear wool socks in the summertime." I still find them much more comfortable than cotton and I have absolutely no problems with my feet and no foot odor problems at all.

    So don't toss out the idea of wool before you try it. Some synthetics are still better than cotton, so consider them as well.
