You can get cheap Smartwools at Sierra Trading Post. They always have clearance ones or seconds for 1/2 regular price. www.sierratradingpost.com
Somehow I missed your post, Knotted . The socks I wear snowboarding are Smartwools and I really like them. I know my feet sweat snowboarding, too, but I never notice wet socks (unless I bury myself in the snow or something, but that's a different issue ).

I do try to keep my big toenails clipped, especially if I can feel rubbing, which has happened. My old running shoes even have small holes in the mesh from my toes pushing through (of course they have holes everywhere from my feet pushing through, but that's a slight sizing problem).

It also seems my second toe is longer than my big toe even though my big toe is the one that's pushing through the socks, I'm to the point that I'm definitely losing the nail for that toe on my left foot (it feels and looks weird). Good thing running/walking isn't a fashion show for the toes, or my feet would be booed out of the country

I'm going to buy a pair of Smartwools and a pair of the Wigwams and see how it turns out.

PS: these are the socks I have now. Previously I had a pair of Adidas running socks that had a little bit of arch compression in them, but I busted the toes much sooner.
