How to Choose Comfortable Cotton Socks

Why cotton?

Cotton is soft on the skin and breathes well, so feet stay drier and more comfortable through the day. Egyptian cotton is known for long, fine fibres that feel smooth and hold up wash after wash.

Look for a little stretch

100% cotton can lose its shape. A blend with Lycra lets the sock stretch on and spring back, so it stays in place without slipping down. Cotza socks are 80% cotton and 20% Lycra.

Get the fit right

A sock that's too big bunches inside the shoe; too small and it pinches. Cotza socks are one size, fitting EU 35–45.

Pick the right height

Ankle socks sit just below the ankle — great for sneakers and summer. Half socks cover the ankle with a ribbed leg — great for everyday shoes and the gym. Not sure which? Read Ankle vs Half Socks.

Care for them so they last

Wash at 30–40°C inside out, skip bleach and fabric softener, and air dry. High heat is what wears out the stretch fastest.

Buy in packs

Rotating more pairs means each pair lasts longer. Cotza packs come in 6, 12 and 24 pairs, mixed black, white and grey — and the bigger the pack, the more you save.
