Our take
Mostly polyester with some cotton, a padded foot and an arch band. Fine for an hour of rec play when it's not too hot. It's a step up from all-cotton gym socks, not a court sock.
- The catchAlmost a third cotton, so they get wet and rub on long, sweaty days.
- Best forCasual players who don't sweat much.
