For socks, I really really like Thorlos (http://www.thorlo.com/ws6/socks_home.php). They cost quite a bit more than the average bag-o'-crew-socks, but if you're doing any sort of activity that puts a lot of stress on your feet they're totally worth it -- they have a range styles with extra padding and support meant to go with different activities and styles of footwear. They're very comfortable and quite durable, and many of their styles even come in a range of sizes instead of the usual "one-size-fits-most" that leaves folks with larger-or-smaller-than-usual feet with a lousy fit. They really are a fabulous outstanding favorite here for days when I'm going to be spending a lot of time on my blister-prone feet, and I'd heartily recommend getting at least one or two pairs to keep on hand for workouts, long walks, etc.
