trail runners and socks

For those who hike in trail running shoes, what kind of socks do you prefer?

Wrightsocks

Found them at REI, they are thin but are two layers so it's like having a liner sock without really wearing two pair of socks.

Not sure what I'll use in winter though when I like to wear wool....

I wear nylon dress socks. Gold toe are my favorite

Smart Wool

I use Underarmour running socks. They are all synthetic, and don't get all stretched out or anything. I'm happy. They are pretty cheap too. I think I paid about $20 for a package of 7 pairs.

What I do with all trailrunners:
1.Always a strip of 1" nylon medical tape up the inside heal, fold over the top.....keeps the heal material from wearing out.
2. I buy the cheapest, thinnest nylon Puritan dress socks I can find at Walmart.
3. Short hikes, 5 miles or so, 1 pair of socks.
4. Long overnight hikes....2 pair (which is still thinner and breaths better than regular socks). Tape and Bodyglide every couple hours of hiking. No hotspots ever if I do that. Sock changes at least twice in a full day, and wash/rinse/dry at day's end. I carry a total of 6 pair, but I double them....they also act as padding in my pack shoulder straps. (GPV4 pack)

Wool socks. No liners. Helps with sweating in my case - the sweat wicks away better and keeps the feet happier :-)

Summer Thorlo light hikers
Fall and early Spring Smart Wool light hikers
Winter - heavy wool socks and mukluks

Merino wool. Hand made by my mother-in-law.

No kidding? How many pair do you bring and how long do they last? Thin, thick?
