Some people change their socks every single day, to me that's a little to much. I'm more of a 2-3days kinda guy. Is changing socks each day absolutely necessary?

Edit: Obviously something is wrong with me, I'll take some time to rethink my life decisions and buy more socks! πŸ˜… Edit2: I mostly wear wool socks, I hope that justifies this a bit..

I used to wash them daily but it made them shrink a bit whereas wearing for 2-3 days makes the fabric a bit wider. As I have pretty wide feet, narrow socks just hurt at the end of the day. So I wear them 2-3 days depending on sweat and dirt.

You know socks come in different sizes, right?

Maybe they've got really big feet. And you know what they say about really big feet...

I've got a friend whose feet are a lot wider than average for their length, so saying "find shoes that fit better!" Is not at all a straightforward thing. Shoes that are wide enough for him tend to be way too long, shoes that are the right length are pinchingly narrow.

there are wide sizes, too

This! And at least over here socks come in shoe sizes.
