How many days do your wear your socks before changing them? (lemmy.world)

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! 😅 Edit2: I mostly wear wool socks, I hope that justifies this a bit..

Alright, so, I change my socks daily but I wear them 3 or 4 times before I wash them, unless it's a) abnormally humid and hot, b) I've done an intense workout or c) they got damp/wet somehow.

I dunno. I don't stink easily and my feet and skin are on the dryer side. My feet don't have an odour for a few days if I don't wash them ( like if I'm camping), so it's not a big deal.

Usually, I keep a pair of socks stuffed into a pair of shoes for a few cycles of wear, then toss them in the laundry basket. Right now all my shoes that I wear socks with that a pair stuffed inside.
