How can one make cotton socks softer? (lemmy.ml)

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 using softener in your wash? If not, then you should. I typically don't like using softener but occasionally do if I know what I'm washing is going to turn out like cardboard

All my other cottons come out wonderfully.

I am hesitant to buy softener just for socks, but it makes sense
