Wright socks are the only ones I wear. I used to run a lot and they really were the first blister-free option I found. Haven't seen the Camino themed ones, though!
 
Well, socks aren't the only factor when trying to prevent blisters. Fit of shoes, breathability of shoes, taking your shoes off to air out your feet regularly, lubrication if you need it, etc.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I saw those Camino logo Wrightsocks in stores on the Frances last year. I would buy some, but I prefer their lower cut, lighter weight socks.
 
To the manufacturer's credit, the actually seem to have gotten the stars / shells pointed in the correct direction, with the joint, or hinge side, where all the paths converge, pointed FRONT, towards your destination...Santiago. THANK YOU.

Hahaha! I just bought 3 pair of these socks earlier this week. Not SO much because of the Camino logo (though that WAS pretty cool) but because they are double layer socks and have a no-blister guarantee. I figured it would be easier than liner socks. We'll see...
The only time I wore double layer blister free socks I got terrible blisters. Also heard others complaining about them. Of course I can’t be certain it was the socks but as footwear was the same as before, it would point to them. I will never risk them again.
 
I wore those same socks last May on the Camino Francis, got a small heel blister first day. Right boot was tied to tight. Made adjustment and later put a strip of Hyperfix on back of my heel. Then a blister between forth and pinkie tor. Again with a small strip of Hyperfix around toe. Thereafter no problems all the way to End of Earth.
