There are socks and then there are cashmere socks. The difference is as obvious as night and day. While regular socks use fabrics such as cotton and polyester. Cashmere socks use one of the best natural fibers in existence and that would be virgin goat wool. There are only several countries that produce such a fine wool. This is one of the reasons why cashmere socks tend to cost more than your everyday socks variety. You shouldn't feel burdened though because cashmere is one of the greatest insulation fabrics. People dismiss it because they assume because the fabric is so lightweight that it can't possibly keep the body warm. Buy a pair of cashmere socks and let your comfortable feet be the judge. Don't be too suprised if you never take them off again.
