I have cotton socks, and they are really ruff to wear, and I stopped wearing them when I started to suspect that they were causing chaffing on parts of my feet.

Are there ways to make them softer, are my socks bad, do I only have the choice of polyester socks???

    Are you sure they’re cotton? Synthetics tend to be more stiff than natural fibers like cotton.

    I haven’t had stiff cotton anything since about 1978. Companies have been pre-washing cotton since at least the mid-70’s to make it softer.

    Try washing and tumble dry on low, without completely drying them.
