Is this pure sales talk or is there some truth to it? While I have not tried the Bridgedale socks, simple consideration of the sock thickness vs boot walls and other dimensions suggest that "pure sales talk" might be a polite description. You will get some differences in springiness, depending on fibre and knit. If your feet are too hot, try getting rid of the boots and graduating to Dunlop KT-26s or similar light joggers instead.
