    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.

    I have a pair of Balega's that I got b/c a friend said they were great.
    I don't like them. I find them to be too slippery inside my shoe, and my foot moves too much with them.
    Still running in whatever bike socks I have in the drawer.

    Smartwool, most of the time. But some cold mornings, I run in socks I knit myself. And I'm thinking of knitting some toe socks...

    The new Injinji socks I mentioned (which are coming SOON - they claim Holidays 2010):

    Trail toe sock (nuwool) in mini-crew: http://www.injinji.com/tetratsok/o_mini_trail.htm

    Midweight performance toe sock: http://www.injinji.com/tetratsok/p_midweight.htm

    I read about them on their Facebook page. Facebook, it turns out, is good for something.
