Default Sock advice?

You can wear a liner sock under pretty much any other sock. They're sold as
liner socks, and can be made out of silk or some kind of high-tech synthetic
if you don't feel like paying as much. I usually wear liners under wool
socks when I'm wearing work boots, and it makes it a lot more comfortable.

Also consider a very thin, unpadded snowboarding sock.

I've been boarding 6+ years, and have always had a few problems with
blisters, though my boots feel comfortable.

I bought some decent boarding socks with padding, but I think I
actually created too much pressure in my boots, as they then felt too
tight with my sole inserts.

I've read that double layer socks (custom made or literally two thin
pairs) work well as the movement becomes boot on sock rather than sock
on skin - any thoughts?

And I heard that if the first layer sock is silk, this is helpful
apprently - any other materials recommended?

Many thanks,
