Best socks?

What are you wearing that is comfortable and stops or reduces corns, rubbing etc? Wearing my own shoes which is a vast improvement but still gets corns/ hard skin and eventually pain!

You need to see a podiatrist at least once a month to ease the pain provoked by corns.
It won`t hurt you and cost aprox. £30 but you will see a massive difference.

You could try a brand called Thorlo.
I buy them online.

2 pairs of socks; one thin pair and a slightly thicker pair over - the friction occurs between the sock - not against your skin.
Works all the time - especially playing football !
Give it a go

I use Under armor trainer socks and also Nike performance socks, so far so good.

Fed up with getting holes in my socks after just a couple of weeks wear I recently got a three pack of these so called 'indestructable socks' with a 12 month guarantee. Wonder how long they'll last!

This 5 pack of socks have reinforced heel and toes and feature a cushion sole, perfect for wearing with steel capped boots. The yarn has been given a special finish that reduces bacteria and draws moisture away from the skin keeping your feet feeling fresh, dry and odour free.

Fabric composition: 73% Cotton, 18% Polyester, 7% Polypropylene, 1% Nylon, 1% Lycra® elastane

have a look for "functional work socks" that look like this

You can pick them up at all sorts of places. They're intended for steel toe cap boots and I've found them very comfortable and they don't get sweaty.
