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 change socks every day, if i wore shoes, but since switching to only wool socks, i basically only change them once a week on laundry day unless they get muddy or something. wool socks can go a lot longer without washing than lesser fibers.

Bought a marino wool shirt because i was told this. Still incredibly itchy even if it was better than regular wool.

Socks are for the weak. I wear sandals unless it’s a formal occasion and even then I only wear socks to protect my Jordan 1 low Pandas from me.

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.

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.

I usually swap clothes every time I take a shower, or when they get dirty. Nothing special happening that's very second day, but can end up being daily.
