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! ๐Ÿ˜… Edit2: I mostly wear wool socks, I hope that justifies this a bit..

This is the way.

Edit: okay to add more substance agreeing with you, Darn Tough socks, and in general merino wool socks, is a life changer. I didn't believe it initially because I live in a tropical country, but dangit merino wool socks is magical. It still feels cool when I'm stationary. Sure it gets a bit warm when I'm walking about, but I still don't get that damp feeling with typical cotton socks. Feetill dry the end of the day and sock still doesn't smell.

I wear darn tough, still change them daily. I have on occasion worn a pair for more than a day but that has been special circumstances. They don't get nasty like cotton socks but it's still going to feel and smell better with a fresh pair.

As for longevity, they have a lifetime warranty.
