How much is too much to spend on socks? I suppose it depends. It has become an area of importance for me in recent years, so my days of grabbing a giant bag of Hanes are likely over.
Since I am on my feet a lot at work I've started wearing my "regular" running socks every day. I wear mostly Bombas ankle socks for work and shorter runs. They are around $13-$17 a pair.
A few years ago I was having blister issues and a friend suggested I try 'toe socks.' I now wear them for pretty much any run of 8 miles or over. I bought my third pair of Injinji toe socks last week. I prefer the Ultra Run No-Show or Mini-Crew. I bought these last week for $18 ($22 with tax and shipping). I wore them on an 8-mile run right out of the package - and they felt great!
So, while I don't spend hardly any money on clothes or golf clubs or things like that... I guess socks and shoes are my thing.
