Keeping feet dry when running long distances - tips?

I had on some dri-fit socks, russell athletic though from wal-mart. Is there a brand you'd recommend?

I wear swiftwick socks that are great, but they will still get soaked. i just lube my feet up with body glide where I might get blister and deal with it.

Darn Tough Socks.

I prefer super thin polyester dress socks..... But I also have bought some thin bamboo socks recently that are awesome..... A thin sock doesn't soak up sweat like a thicker sock.

I use a thin coating of a product called Trail toes. It's petroleum based so it help prevent friction which causes blisters. Also, it repells water so while your shoe/sock might bewet damp, your foot really isn't impacted unless your crossing streams or running in a downpour.

I use to run 70-75 miles a week and had the same problem along with blisters.

Did some research and found these online. Ordered 3 pair and havent gone back. Been about 2 years and still on same 3 pair. No more blisters or wet feet

Not really a big deal if you are just trying to finish, but that's technically against the rules and there are tons of Nazis out there about that stupid stuff. No outside help. Either carry, or take from provided aid stations. Had a women trying to qualify for the Olympic trials get disqualified in the Louisana Marathon a few years ago after doing food from someone she knew on a bike. She deserved it though competing at that level.
