    My feet are highly funky too. I wear these for running and cycling:

    I have blister issues when I run so they are good that way. I've never had problems with bunching when I use them for cycling. There are many different colors and styles too though I mostly have black. I do have a cute pair that is purple

    If it's cold out, you might want to try smartwool socks. They are pretty form fitting too.

    I can't wear the traditional "cycling socks".

    Even though some tri people might disagree, I think you're better off wearing socks. And your feet aren't bad! Trust me on this.

    Thx for that link. It's frustration ordering, sending back, re-ordering, blab blab blab... after a while. Guidance is good. I am allergic to wool normally. I hate being so sensitived skinned. I always want to buy theose pretty cashmere sweaters at the mall, but just can't wear them without breaking out. I do hear that the merino wool is different. Might work. It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone on cycling socks not working so well. That's the first thing a sales person at the lbs usually says when I tell them I have sock issues..."well, why don't you wear cycling specific socks?"... but buddy, I am!
