I stumbled upon this thread and got really confused. Do people usually have sweaty feet? I tend not to wear socks except when I wear shoes. Otherwise, I wear slippers or go barefoot. Even when I wear shoes, I don't notice any sweating in my feet. I usually wear cotton socks though.
To answer the OP, though, my rule is to not reuse socks with a couple of exceptions:
if I only had the socks (with the shoes on) for less than a couple of hours, I think it's safe to reuse the socks.
if for some reason, I go to a place where I need to take my shoes and socks off (like if I go visit a friend) I would reuse the socks, of course.
Most of the time though, I just don't bother with shoes and socks if I can get away with it. It's too hot where I live to deal with socks.
