    I like my Feetures and Balegas. I was initially impressed by my Thorlos but I shrank them somehow and now they're awful.

    I used to wear fancy running socks. Then I started wearing the bright funky low-rise ones Target sells for 1.50 a pair. They're 98%poly 2%spandex and have been working for me as well as any of the more expensive ones I've ever bought.

    I also use these. They work great :smile:

    Thanks for this! I am only up to 3 mile runs and I use cotton. So far I haven't had problems, but it's good to know what to anticipate down the road.

    I use Nike DriFit socks in the winter, but they tend to get too hot on my feet in the summer despite how much I love their support and moisture-wicking properties. I love them so much that I actually wear them to work, where I'm on my feet for almost all of my 12 hour shift. They help.

    However, for summer runs, which are only about 30 mins because I don't like running in the dark but can't stand the heat of the day either and so I run at dusk, I just use whatever thin non-cotton socks I have on hand. I've run holes through lots of pairs of cheap normal socks. I could actually probably benefit from looking at these answers myself, since having support socks for summer would be helpful. Thanks for posting it!

    For long distances I love Drymax maximum protection socks. A little pricey but definitely worth it, no blisters after a 1/2 marathon.
