2. My guess is that you have a lot of friction where there shouldn't be friction. Are you 100% sure your shoes aren't too big? Maybe your foot is sliding around some?
I'm 10000% sure my sizing and fit are where they need to be. There's certainly some friction (like with any shoe), the problem is that the friction is in a relatively abnormal spot that doesn't work for a lot of running socks. I can go sockless without meaningful blister issues for example, though I don't like running without socks. My socks (and shoes) have a high point of wear just above 7 on this image, rather than the bottom right of 2 for about 90% of the running population.

This seems especially true for more lightweight socks, where the heel and toe are reinforced, but the mid-foot is ultra-thin and not really designed to see any friction. I think it a lot of the socks I've used had the same materials in the mid-foot that they currently use in the heel and toe, they'd work out great (the Feetures are like this).
I'll check out the links you and HMMMM gave, thanks. That lifetime warranty on Darn Tough seems especially tempting.
