At the moment I use X-Socks (the 'Run sky run' ones). Hardly cheap but you can't get any more comfortable! I also used another make which was also very comfy but can't think what they're called :embarrassed:
Socks, socks, socks!
We all seem to have a one track mind on here!
I use the moremile london sock; I don't know how they compare with other running socks because they're the only ones I've used but I have no complaints and they are an improvement on what I was wearing; they were recommended to me by someone I met at the only time I went to a running club, before I went over on my ankle and before the cold weather set in.

I have some Nike socks which i forget the EXACT name of, but they have cushioning bits around the heel and ball, but mostly for shorter runs I just wear good ol' trainer socks from Tescos, and have never ever had any problems at all - except when I don't wear them and get blisters

Nothing special for me; just ordinary Nike "Crew" socks. Get 'em in packs of 3 pairs. Either in black or white (although the white ones rarely stay white for long when I get off-road!).

yep, Aldi for me too. You're right Steve...their spring running kit must be in soon, I remember you got me those socks and I picked them up from you at FLM expo.
Also Asics socks are good... you get a free pair from some websites when you order Asics runners

ruined a pair of my running socks tonight - pulled them on a little enthusiastically and tore them at the heel
Mind you, they've lasted me 3 years :d

I wear 100 mile socks for long runs and races... To be honest I see no real difference between specialist socks and normal cotton ones, but the double-layer ones probably do prevent some chafing. Enough people have said good things about them for me to want to try them.

I find the proper running socks so much more comfy, and they have a much better fit around the toe area. I found with normal socks that the material would bunch up around teh toe area and cause me grief (especially on longer runs) so decent (allbeit expensive) running socks are a godsend for me!
Obviously that's just my experience and seemingly not the norm

I have 4 pairs of Brooks Adrenaline Pro socks, never had a blister wearing them in 2 years now. Also just got a pair of Sole socks to try out. For an ankle sock they are good and don't seem to slip down even on quicker efforts.
For road racing I'd always use the adrenalines though. Just because they give a tiny bit of compression and feel supportive as they are structured and are anatomical.
In triathlons I use vasaline on ym insole and around the heel, and that's good enough for me after the first couple of tri's of the season!
