I exercise regularly so I’m changing socks like twice a day.
24 hrs since I put them on for sleep and keep them on for the next day
Why do you sleep with socks? That sounds very uncomfortable.
On the contrary, if they're not too tight, they are a bit comfy for me. I heard Einstein was even proud of never wearing socks, but I think you people just have different foot vibes, I'm rather neutral about wearing them.
Even more importantly, it's winter, it's really fucking cold, and a blanket or two just isn't enough, at least not when I get out of bed early the next day. Directly covering extra skin helps.
I think socks are comfortable but I could never sleep with them.
I do agree that getting out of bed is not very nice in winter. The floors can be uncomfortably cold and it's just an unpleasant experience.
Our outside temperatures are so weird this winter. It varies from like 10 to -20 in just two weeks for so.
The temperatures are rather consistent here in Poland actually, I only felt it was mildly warmer for a day or so, but besides that I've been wearing the same clothes and feeling fine. Autumn was way worse.
An inconsistent winter is the worst.
It's just terrible. One day you have a lot of snow, and then it gets water so it's all slush, and then it gets colder so it turns to extremely slippery ice.
One place in the country went from -43,6 (coldest since 1887) to 0,9 in under a week. Utterly insane.
I wish the weather could just decide on snow or not snow, either is perfectly fine, but not both.

7 pairs, 7 days. Costco Caterpillar socks.
LPT for people who commented that their feet sweat a lot: Apply foot powder before putting on socks. You’ll feel fresher longer, won’t sweat as much, and your feet won’t stink when you take off your shoes at the end of the day.
Hours, max 12
And yes I take two showers a day. Got to keep all the bits clean.

NaN. I live in the tropics, socks aren't really a thing.
If I have to wear silly formal shoes for a function or whatever, I wear them maybe two hours.
Plese reply me with picture of Kryten washing Listers socks with hammer.
I’ll change my socks every day, and more if I’m swapping out workout clothes for fresh clothes.
Oddly, I really don’t experience foot odor. Other bits can get rather ripe, but whether I’m wearing boots or going barefoot, my feet just do t get funky. That said, I have had athlete’s foot and I’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t change their socks after days of marching and working in the field. I know it’s not a major danger for me at this point, but I’ve got a whole drawer full of socks, and in any case I want them to match with my shoes and pants.
I also change every 2 to 3 days, which is also the interval at which I shower and change clothes in general. So basically "Take off old cloth - shower - put on new clothes".
8hrs, but that could be a day or it could be a week.
One but I will make a 48 hour exception for socks if you don't wear shoes as well and you don't leave the house, still a bit gross.
I once wore the same pair while camping on a beach for 10 straight days but those were different times.
Had to every day with cotton. I can rotate my merino wool socks throughout the work week. 2 pair for 5 days.
If they've been off after a day I don't see how you can put used socks back on.
I will wear underwear or socks more than 24h if i shower halfway into a day or if I am being sick/a slob and just not taking any clothes off.

Smelling like a dog? Time to change dem socks.
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.
What if I told you that for 10 dollars a week you could wear brand new socks every day!
Change your socks!!!
Unless you're laying around doing virtually nothing change your socks daily!
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.
Depends what I'm doing. On an average home office day I barely even wear socks outside of dropping the kids off at school, so the pair that ~I'm currently wearing~ is on the floor next to my bed has been used three days in a row.
When I'm doing field work it usually means long days of wearing shoes, often in hot climate, and often loafing around airports. For those days I always pack three extra pairs of clean socks to have in my kit.
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.
