I bought hiking socks that help absorb sweat and the like. I bought them on sale but they are only for cooler weather, I need to find some for warm weather.

I wear Nike brand running socks. They are padded in all the right places and are basically sweat proof. In the winter I wear heavy duty wool though with sturdy boots.

I can see why wool socks are great. I know that sailors used to be called woolies because they would wear wool to keep them from getting hypothermia. I believe that wool wicks moisture away. I think I have seen cotton wool hybrid socks before but I have not tried those.
