    Teko merino.

    I can't run in anything but wool, and Teko are soooooo much nicer than anything else I own.

    For cold weather: wool (have Smartwool and Patagonia)

    For warm weather: Swiftwick http://www.swiftwick.com/. Very comfy, well-fitting, wicking, just a touch of "cush".

    Smartwool, teko, and balga. I have a couple pairs of wright socks (double-layer) if I'm having blister issues.

    In the winter if it isn't too cold I sometimes run in smartwool ski/snowboard socks and shorts. I like the compression factor of knee socks.

    I have been wearing Injinji toe socks for a long time, and just read they are coming out with a cushioned version. They also have a NuWool sock but I haven't tried it (I think Knot wears and likes them, though).

    I do LOVE smartwool socks, though. If I am wearing stupid-feet-shoes, I wear the smartwool, especially in the cold/wet.

    I like the thin, low-cut socks with the arch support band. I have Asics, Nike and New Balance that are all about the same and love all of them.

    I started out wearing only Smartwool socks for running/gym workouts, but have since made the switch to using Injinji toe socks exclusively. My hammertoes like the material that the individual toe pockets provide...it keeps my toes from rubbing and irritating each other (which they do, when wearing normal socks). I wear both the Injinji Performance series, and the NuWool...and like them both equally as much. I'm excited to hear that they will be coming out with a more cushioned sock, as I think their current product line is just a tad bit too thin for my liking.

    But for biking, I wear only Smartwool or DeFeet (Blaze and Woolie Boolie only). My feet are very picky when it comes to socks. (:

    Yeah, I really wish the Injinji wool socks were more substantial. I expect I'd be wearing them all the time too, if they were.
