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..

I tend to wear anything made from wool for a week or so before laundering. Anything else I tend to wash after one wear

I'm the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like "these are great - you can wear them for days without washing" and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.
