Hilly twin skins are my absolute favourite.

Gosh, that's last years sock thread :-) I've done quite a lot of socksperimentation and my two pairs of Thorlos (short pair and longer,thicker pair for trail shoes ) and they are the best, though sometimes a thinner sock is better. For that, minardi, the ones I liked best were Nike dri-fit short socks. I also bought some trainer socks which were ok, New Balance vey light but a proper running sock, and (don't laugh) some George at Asda trainer socks, not the basic ones, but running ones which are pretty decent and a bit more padded.

I did love Hilly Twin Skin, but got blisters!!! Now love Karrimor twin skin. Softer and keep their shape better, with a bonus of a lot, lot cheaper.

I get on very well with Boots 'bamboo' socks (the thinnest ones which are meant to be liners or something?): super soft, a nod to natural materials and very cheap.

I've also started using Ininji crew performance liner running socks, though again I don't use them as a liner, I use them on their own. I was concerned about the separate toe thing, whether it would put strain in between my toes or have extra material bunching up but they've not caused any problems and I happily ran a marathon in them.

Good luck!

I like Hilly mono skins. I've got about 12 pairs, some of them ancient!

The double lined socks IMO are shit ,wear out way too quickly...in fact most socks seem to for me....but the single layers last longest. Got 2 pairs of Innov8 socks for fathers day, will see how they go
