I have the same socks, they were given away at a trail race. They're awesome for trail running. My feet stayed warm even though they were soaking wet.

For my last muddy trail race I used a pair of injinjis with a pair of sealskinz over them. The result worked pretty well, although some moisture did make it through, particularly when I went through knee deep mud/slush/water puddles.
But fifty bucks worth of socks on my feet? It seemed a little excessive.

I like Wright Socks in the Summer, SmartWool in the winter. Ahhh. I LOVE SmartWool. I keep buying more, I'm going to go broke buying good socks.

Hm. I generally wear Smartwools but some of those work better than others. I have one pair of Wright socks that actually give me blisters, on short runs no less, and one pair that work fine, so I guess it just depends.
I've got a pair of the regular Injinji (based on Meri's recommendation) and I like 'em, although my toes aren't as long as the toes of the socks. I have to fiddle with the sock combo to get enough cushion for the ball of my foot though.

wool injinji is cool, although I didn't know they made wool ones until meri mentioned it at Umstead.
Now that you mention it, I did get my blisters with the one pair of wright socks when I was running on a dirt road in dusty conditions. But it was also where the seam at the toe sits, so I figured it was from the seam. I might try that pair again. I haven't worn them except that one time.

The wright socks in combination with the injinji seem to work OK, though. I've not heard of Sock Guy socks, Shadow. I'm going to check into them now
