What would be good socks to wear. i bought hanes socks and two months later they feel itchy every time i wear them. do i need to wear 100% cotton.

Check your blend: Various materials can cause irritation to your skin. Wool will keep your feet warm, but they are quite itchy. Cotton indeed, would be a good choice. Also look in to "wicking" socks, which are actually a synthetic blend. The fibers are aligned as to draw moisture away from the skin.
