What are your favorite socks to wear for running?

I bought a pair of Injinji toe-socks, and while they have really helped with the blisters they are starting to get a bit worn and gross. I am also unsure how I feel about the toes- I have kind of big toes for whatever reason and it starts to cut off my circulation! I am going to need a new pair once these are done for and if anyone can recommend their favorite brand to run with, I'd love to hear suggestions :)

    I haven't tried toe socks. I alternate between couple of socks- both kinds work well for me. Smartwool PhD and Wrightsock Cool Mesh. When it is really hot outside I only use the Wrightsocks. You may want to take a look at your shoes as well. Sometimes blisters are from shoes that don't fit correctly. Its not always a size thing it could be the the make of the shoe may not be best for your type of foot. New Balance works for me since I have narrow feet but if I wanted extra toe 'wiggle' room I would look at Nike. They are usually generous in the toe area. As a bandaid for the blisters you can apply bodyglide (usually used to prevent leg chafing) on the blister-prone areas on your feet. I've used it in between toes before when just getting back to running and it works wonders.
