I disagree. This company is calling 40% nylon "wool socks"

I'm just telling you what he said, I have not tried them. But I will say that wool/synthetic blends are awesome. Don't knock it because it's not 100% wool, as if you're not getting what you paid for. I believe blends are superior, based on another brand I wear.

Darn Tough, SmartWool, and LL Bean "wool socks" all also use a blend. It's unlikely you even have any 100% wool socks these days.

I actually have a pair of 100% wool socks that my grandma-in-law made for me. It was a really nice gesture but that shit is so thick and scratchy, impossible to wear alone. However if it's really cold and I don't want to wear shoes, I can throw those bad boys over my socks and they are like booties, super warm.
