I love socks with merino in them in winter, but they usually seem a bit pricey. Merino layers on my top too.

I like toe socks, handy for yoga, I have just joined a gym for the very first time too. I like long walks at the weekend which can be quite cold this time of the year.

geordiegirl, I wear injinji socks too, especially for ultras. I also have a pair of vibrams. We have a lot in common.
I love my Altra running shoes. These, along with injinji socks I’ve never had a problem with blisters while doing very long distances. I have a broad foot, and the toe box in Altras is generous which is perfect for me. I find them so comfy too.

All this talk of toe socks is making me cringe! Can't bear anything between my toes, flip flops and sandals with toe posts are a definite no.

We have indeed even ultras! I was going to try altras but they looked white thick soles for a minimalist shoe so it’s good to know you find them ok esp in the ultra distance. Which model do you have? I had a disaster before RTTC in that I developed a stress reaction and had to go normal trainers. My normal trainers were causing blister on top of my foot due to a bunion and I ended off in new inov8’s not ideal at all!
I have merell vapourgloves which I also love but not quite wide enough for the pesky bunion.
