Does anyone have the problem of itchiness when wearing socks while running? I have this annoying problem and I'm not sure how to solve it. It disrupts my workout. I use cotton socks by the way.

you could always run without socks. If not I would give the coolmax ones from target a go. I like them and they are only about $8

$8? Just after Christmas, I bought a pack of six pairs at Target for $16!
Of course, these specials are not every day, but they're worth looking out for. That was, for me, a year's supply.

6 for $16. Bugger!! I am sad I missed it. That would definitely cover me for a while.
I did start off with Thorlos but they are just too thick.

I don't have much personal experience but I hear that running without socks isn't a very good idea and that you're more prone to blister without socks.
It's best to buy some wicking socks such as the Coolmax ones which i'll be doing soon. I was checking out prices online and found a single pair at rebel sport for 30 or 40 bucks. So i'll check out target if they have pairs for 8 bucks or 6 packs for 16. sounds good.
