Since i discovered i really like running when its raining, but hate feeling of wet socks, what would you recomend? Are there some waterproof / neoprene socks or that would be a really bad idea?

I usually run mostly on road plus a bit of gravel, else i would alrrady get a pair of something like hoka speedgoats or similar.

this advice sounds golden. How to minimise blistering then? By lacing tight oe.by better socks?

Rubbing vaseline all over your feet, including between your toes, can help avoid blistering when feet get wet. I also noticed that when wearing compression socks, blistering is basically never an issue (but those don't make sense for everyone).
