If you are somewhere pretty cold and unsociable then fine. You could also wear two pairs at once, the woolen ones on the outside and washed less often than thinner ones inside to wash often. Done that. Works well. Again; cold, kinda not social.

Iβve had to do 2 days in a row multiple times in my life, and they get gross really fast. I canβt imagine going for 3.
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.
At the most about 16-18 hours.
Please consider finding a alternative to using wool. The wool industry is so cruel.
