Super thin socks?

[taratru]

yes, I know, people ask about socks all. the. time.  But no one asks about thin socks!  

With the Superfeet inserts, my shoes don't have quite as much room, so I need some pretty thin socks.  I have one pair of Smartwool that are thin and I love them.  I just don't love the price tag.  :/  I also have a thing with seams...ugh, my feet are a mess.  As close to flat seams/seamless as possible.  Trying to figure that out from Amazon pictures isn't really working out and most socks in the stores have cushioned bottoms, which I do not like. 

Anyone have any recs for thin socks, cotton or otherwise?

I bought some adidas socks from nordstrom rack that are super thin and very comfy. I have no idea if theyre cotton (thats never bothered me). They were like $10 for 3 pairs, or something like that. I have no idea which specfic sock they are, just be impressed i remembered the brand lol

RRS sells thinner socks too, but theyre not cheap.

Asia's Hera socks.

My thin socks are all Smartwool, and I buy them from Sierra Trading Post. They're often at least half off there.

My latest favorites are super thin. They are from Target and are plain white, nondescript except for a gold line across the toe.

I have Balega hidden dry socks. They are super thin, and make my shoes much more comfortable with my orthotics.

I like Belega or drymax

"No Nonsense" 1/4 length sports socks. I buy them at the supermarket when they go on BOGO sale, lol.

Wore them through my last marathon training cycle and the race itself without every getting any blisters.

Are you able to take the liner out of your running shoes? That's what I need to do for my Superfeet to fit.

Yeah, the liner is out.  I didn't have a ton of room in there as it was, since I like a snug fit.

Balega.

Not sure of the brand (might be New Balance?) but I got them at Dicks, they are a pack if six or seven, rainbow colors, super thin with a minimal seam. They aren't cotton not sure if that matters or not. The seam is definitely small though, I hate the thicker ones also.

i second the smartwool brand, pricey but worth it (imo)
They are very thing but supportive for my running, i have similar problems that you have.........**I just recently started wearing socks!! I used to run with bare feet!!!!!

[spedrunner]

also make sure they are not too tight in the toe area! I just recently got a black toenail bc my socks were to tight!

Thanks for the recs, guys. I'm headed out tomorrow to check stuff out.

I think my new annoyance is that you can't actually check out the damn socks. We can try on bras and underwear, but not socks?!? So stupid.

Defeet offers quite a few thin socks. If you want wool, check out the Woolies. I also recommend the Cloud and Aireators that are offered in several lengths. I use the Aireators for cycling.

I have some target socks that are really thin. I think the brand is prosport or something generic like that. I don't usually wear them to run. I got them to wear with my minimus, so they are v. thin. I'm not picky about socks.

Balega and Adidas make the thinnest I've tried.
