Cheap synthetic running socks

Synthetic acrylic socks are better than cotton as the fibres retain less sweat; hence less blisters as ... don't have wet fibres rubbing the toes [1]. Expensive socks (e.g. Thorlos) have 75 to 95% acrylic and 25 to 5% nylon [2] - unfortunately RM49.90 per pair. Alternative for the frugal: Pallas has an acrylic school sock that goes for ~RM4; the tag attached below.References:
