I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I've only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.
If I'm going out to socialize though and it's been more than 2 days I'll get a fresh pair.
I wear socks with at least 60% merino wool and wear the same pair for 5 days. After airing the they have zero smell.
Yeah same here, always wearing wool socks!
Wool socks don't need washing as frequently as cotton. They've got antimicrobial properties that make them take longer to get stinky.
If you're only wearing wool socks you can go several days, especially in the winter. Summer socks? Daily imo.
What's this thing called summer socks? I wear the same wool socks all year and it's great! It's either wool socks or sockless sandels.
Don't wear sockless sandals in NYC
Stay ringworm free
I feel like I've just been given an invaluable tip that I may have never ever received had I not taken part in this conversation about socks.
I'll remember this should I ever go to NYC
With wool socks, i'd recommend changing them every day, to give them a chance to air out, but you don't have to wash them every time. You can easily get 3 swears per wash with even the most squeemish people examining your socks daily.
FYI, i'm squeemish and I knit lots of wool socks.
