FYI I used to love these puma socks when they made them with cotton, as my feet sweat a lot, but now it's a polyester blend which is the opposite of what I have. Just putting it out there
Personal and true experience-
For the longest time I was going by Slickdeals comments on socks and workout gear needs to be cotton and I missed out on many a deal for polyester socks or t-shirts. Then I gave in on an Adidas deal a couple of months back because I badly needed socks with summer and multiple sports sessions during the week (need 2 to 3 pairs daily).
I found that the polyester Adidas socks are very comfortable and much better than my cotton socks (which of course are older now). I'm not sure of what beef others have for such material socks but they definitely don't feel stuffy or bad. Perhaps material science has advanced to a stage where artificial materials are now good enough if not better than traditional cotton. We can agree to disagree on this but wanted to put these thoughts out here because I've been through the entire process on this.
98% polyester, 2% spandex

Thanks for all the comments. I ran in to buy these before they sold out. Noticed the polyester and simultaneously let out a sigh of relief that I didn't buy it and a sigh of disguise that another brand has fallen.
I bought these last deal about three weeks ago. They feel great. I've been wearing them in hot weather with ultraboosts. I was weary based on the slick deal posts re polyester and lack of cotton, but no problems! Sometimes you just have to live your life and buy the $7 socks!!!!
