I wear injinji toe socks and then wear a pair of Smart Wool Adrenaline ankle socks over them. Blisters are no more for me... You might look into it?

And since we're on the topic...

GO RED SOX!

I have some Injinjis because I get blisters between my toes sometimes. They have worked well for me and I even bought my sister a pair to try (bad toe genetics in the family). However, every once in a while, my feet are swollen or something and I have to put on some very thin socks or my toes will be squashed. The toe socks DO bulk up the front of your foot a little bit. I am sure this effect is negligible for most people, but I have fat toes.

I noticed a LARGE improvement in my comfort level when I stopped wearing cheap socks.

Mostly, I find that the sock/shoe connection is very fluid, but important. This sock goes with that shoe and not the other one (I have trail and non-trail shoes). Occasionally, when the moon is full or something, even the tried and true combination must be changed for a day or two.

That is my analysis of my feet. Makes me sound a little OCD. Sigh.

Regards,
Kitrin

This is great combo, give it try. It will feel funny when you first put those toe socks on. But run in them before you judge them.

If you do go thick on your socks, use wool socks. Your feet will stay dryer and that helps prevent blisters.
