Mostly running with some cycling and walking, replacement lace on right foot recently another month or so on the left.
Socks are merino / nylon / lycra mix from:
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/marko200810/ £6.50 for 4 pairs, they don't have the advertised extra cushioning, still they do the job - I plan on two pairs as the season progresses, good service from the seller.
Get some darning thread and a needle mark the position of gap between big toe and the rest also the 2 distal points (end of each block of toe).
Remove sock, turn inside out, stitch up points to points including a short section parallel with the gap at your big toe.
Cut down the centre.
Thermals are from:
http://www.britishthermals.com/Mens_Thermals, the imported value range same quality half the price, good customer service.
Running leggings are last years Lidl:

On reflection correctly adjusting this sandal depends on understanding that it is attached to your foot at 3 semi independent points all of which must be individually adjusted.
That is the length of lace from toe to ankle is first adjusted to be tight so a finger can just be pushed under; then the heel to heel, a bit tighter here.
Again from inside ankle across the front of the foot a tip here is when tying the knot lift your heel to get a tighter fit.
I have had zero injuries of any sort over this year other than a blister from trying a new tying technique.
These excellent self massage videos from Rich Poley have greatly reduced running after effects and improved recovery:

After each run I also do the standard standing stretches; two for calf, one for quad, combined hamstring and abductor (kick up foot against door frame stand side on and then lean forward along raised leg.
Enjoy, I do. :¬)
Cmon Everybody
