Seriously. I want to know. Because I swear black socks make my feet stink at least 3 times worse.

It's more about fiber content. Synthetics will smell worse than organics. Always go cotton or wool blends. Some elastic is okay for shape retention. I recommend Darn Tough, based in Vermont and a legit lifetime guarantee. I contacted them when I wore through a couple pairs and got credit on their site for me. A jewy move on my part to be sure but I'm glad I know its actually a thing

I wear only darn tough socks. A bit expensive, but when you consider the lifetime warranty + the quality, it's worth it

Farmer friend buys RedHead® from Bass Pro. Borrowed a pair once for a week, not bad for $12, lifetime guar. They claim made in the USA but I don't trust any boxstore on that.

Redheads a great! The pair I have is definitely a winter/hunting sock. Very thick, also comfy

Good to hear you like them, will check out Darn Tough for lighter weight as my working in the cold days are done. Newbie here, but seems like (as with voat) can read pretty quick who is full of 💩 on useful, applicable advice and can tell you're far from that.

Black cotton socks don't stink but synthetic ones do for some reason. Black socks never stop putting off lint, I think they use bargain basement cotton in them since they are going to dye it midnight anyway. White socks are good for no lint after two washes. Source, longtime black sock wearer. White socks are for dweebs.

yes i believe the black pigment is made from the soot of crude oil and trash burning.
