Also, yes I do expect them to last a long long time, and if they do wear out, I'll have them replaced.
Socks can matter quite a bit for running, especially running long distances or if your feet get wet.
Running in normal cotton socks is a no-no. Once cotton gets wet it doesn't dry easily and can cause blisters. For moderate distances (say 5 miles or less), any merino wool or synthetic athletic sock should be fine, although I tend to avoid getting socks that are really thin because they arn't as good at preventing blisters. I pretty much always run in Darn Tough 1/4 Socks. They are about as thick as you'd ever want to go for a running sock, but they are super durable and prevent blisters pretty well. I have over 1000 miles on one of my pairs and I can still wear them.
