While we're mourning the cancellation of Star Wars Rival Run, can we share our favorite running socks? I'm struggling to find a sock I'm happy with these days. I've recently seemed to fall out of love with Bombas and Balegas. Ininjis are okay for longer runs. I'm looking for something that I won't feel seams on my toes, and I realize how subjective this is. Thanks and happy miles!
 
I am a long time Balega fan, but I tried the merino wool Feetures recently and love them. I blister so easily, and these really help.
 

I run in Injinjis, also. I have a variety of Belega, Feetures, and Nike socks that I wear to OrangeTheory where I have a lower risk of getting blisters between my toes.
 
I like to wear a close-fitting sock, so my go-tos are Feetures Elite and Smartwick (well, they were til they got rid of the quarter height). No issues with seams and the Feetures are L/R so they conform nicely to my feet.

I didn't even think about that, I'll have to give R/L a try and see if I like the fitted feeling better. Thanks!
 
I'm really particular about my socks (actually, I'm particular about a lot of things lol) and don't want to feel the seams and I like them tight fitting so my go to are Lululemon Light Speed Tab Sock Silver.
 
Another fan of Feetures here....been running in them for several years and I've never had a blister.
 
I am high maintenance when it comes to socks - I always wear CEP compression socks as I feel like they help reduce injury for me (probably superstitious but I accept that!). They are expensive - I can usually find some on sale but even then they are around $30 per pair. They do last me for years though, and I typically run a little over 1000 miles per year, so they have hung in there for me!

Before I switched over to the CEP's about 5 years ago, I was a fan of Balega and Swiftwicks (and still use those for just walking around the neighborhood or WDW back in the day!)
 
I'm not as picky as some with socks and I have a lot of different pairs but the only branch I've gone back to multiple times have been the Asics Quick Lyte. I have nine pairs of them and love them. I also have three of the higher wool version for winter running.
