I wore mesh trail runners with liner toe socks (Injinji) and wool socks (darn tough). My feet never felt wet, even on really rainy days.
On mountain hikes at home, I've done stream crossings in this shoe/sock combination and never felt wet.
I would think that the waterproof socks would make feet perspire too much.
Go with what feels great on your feet. The mesh materials are very similar in trail runners, though some incorporate a goretex laminate -- usually labeled with a "GTX" moniker. I always avoid the goretex in my shoes as they give me sweaty feet when its dry, and they still get wet inside when it rains -- just not as quickly. For me, I find that goretex really slows down the drying out process.What brand shoe did you use? I'm looking at some mostly mesh Solomon's.
Thanks for the tip davebugg. I shall add spare innersoles to my list to purchase!Go with what feels great on your feet.

If my shoes are wet when I'm finished for the day, I pull out the insole, use paper towels (or toilet paper) to soak up excess moisture, put in my extra dry pair of insoles, change into my dry pair of wool socks, put the shoes back on and wear them around until bedtime. It is amazing how quickly they dry out.
I took non waterproof trail running shoes. I took waterproof socks in case I encountered heavy rain (I only had one day of light rain). I used Wrightsocks and had no blisters. Waterproof socks are going to be hotter and more blister prone than normal socks.A friend is thinking of using these on a forthcoming Camino. Has anyone experience of using them?
