Question 1

Are Nattynooks 100% cotton?

Accepted Answer

Nattynooks are built with 97% pure cotton, meaning the vast majority of the sock is naturally just cotton against your skin. For the remaining 3% needed for stretch and structure (2% elastane and 1% polyamide), we use a specialized corespun yarn. This wraps cotton entirely around those specific elastic fibers. Because we isolate that tiny percentage of synthetic material, the plastic never reaches you, guaranteeing 100% cotton skin contact.

Question 2

Why do sock materials matter for your health?

Accepted Answer

Your feet have up to 500,000 pores between them. Pores are direct entry points into your body. Most socks press petroleum-based plastic directly against every one of them all day inside a hot enclosed shoe. Whatever synthetics are in your socks end up in your body. That contact compounds quietly over months and years.

Question 3

Are these organic cotton socks?

Accepted Answer

No, they aren't. The organic label only tells you about the farm the cotton portion was grown on, not what ends up against your skin. Even certified brands are allowed up to 25% synthetic material in the finished product. Instead of trusting a label that only covers part of the material makeup, Oeko-Tex tests the finished fabric itself. Manufactured in Europe, Nattynooks are made with 100% certified non-toxic materials, delivering the exact certified chemical-free peace of mind you actually want.

Question 4

Is the 2% elastane and 1% polyamide safe?

Accepted Answer

The 2% elastane and 1% polyamide are completely safe. Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Product Class I certification requires manufacturing residue to be stripped out. What remains is tested against 1,000 harmful substances. Every fiber is cleared of glyphosate, BPA, pesticides, phthalates, and formaldehyde. The fiber passes. The chemicals do not.

Question 5

Where are they made?

Accepted Answer

In Latvia, Europe, inside a Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified Production Facility. The sock is assembled there from three yarns, each certified by its own Oeko-Tex Standard 100 factory: cotton from India, corespun yarn from Germany, and polyamide from Italy. Every one of those certifications is available to view on this page.

Question 6

Will cotton socks hold up for running, hiking, and daily wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The corespun construction gives them the stretch and recovery to handle high activity without breaking down over time. The terry sole cushions impact. Wear testers confirmed they stayed put through full days on their feet, during all kinds of activity, without sliding down once.

Question 7

Do cotton socks wear out faster than synthetic ones?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: yes, a little faster. Cotton is a natural fiber. It breaks down more gradually than plastic does. But synthetic socks last longer for the same reason plastic bags last longer. The material doesn't degrade the way natural fibers do. Once you factor in what's pressed against half a million pores for thousands of hours a year, the calculation shifts. After that, durability becomes a secondary concern.

Question 8

How do I wash them?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash as normal. When you first try them on, if the fit feels right, hang dry or tumble dry low to lock that fit in. If they feel slightly loose, a higher heat dry cycle will shrink them down half a size or so. That's the nature of quality cotton. It responds to heat, so you control the fit by controlling the heat level when you dry them.

Question 9

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days of being placed. USPS Ground Advantage typically delivers within 2 to 5 business days from there, depending on where you're located.

Question 10

What if they don't fit, or I want to return them?

Accepted Answer

You have 60 days from delivery to return them for a full refund. Log in to your account or visit your order status page to start the return. No hoops to jump through.
