I wear SLS3 compression socks for most races, and they are very tight, thin and wicking.
So - you don't get the sliding around of the socks, that tends to cause blisters, even when wet.
example: I wore these socks for SOS last year, and kept them on the whole time.
This included 4 runs sandwiched around 3 swims, so my feet, socks, and shoes were all as wet as humanly possible for the last 3 runs.
Zero blisters.
I own Balega socks (altho I don't wear them all that often anymore), and think those were probably the worst-case scenario for you for a wet day.
float , hammer , and jog
