Changing socks on a daily basis is good hygiene for various reasons:

1. Personal hygiene: Wearing clean socks promotes personal hygiene and protects against bacterial and fungal diseases.

2. Foot health: Changing socks on a daily basis can help avoid foot problems such as athlete's foot and fungal nail infections.

3. Comfort: Wearing clean socks can increase your comfort and alleviate irritation caused by sweaty or filthy socks.

4. Social etiquette: Wearing clean socks is a social norm that can boost one's self-esteem and confidence.

Do you change your socks daily or not?

though I do not wear socks but for me, it is not good to wear socks worn already the other day. It smells foul.

In summer, I do not wear socks that much. I wear sandals. If I wear socks, I'll for sure change my socks on a daily basis.

It is also the same thing here. I only wear them much if it is wet season, especially in my city. It is cold during the rainy season.

I am also like you. Although I sometimes wear a pair of sneakers without wearing a pair of socks.

That is a good thing. I think we need to be in this situation. I have a friend that keeps on re-using his socks. I told him that it is not hygienic to be in this way.

I rarely wear socks, but when I do, I make sure to change them every day. Not changing socks daily is unhygienic and can lead to foot odor.

I don't wear socks every day because I don't go out every day, however, when I wear socks, I always wear a pair of fresh socks

I think that as human being we should keep body cleanliness and the clothing we use should as well be clean and tidy

I love wearing socks when I am in my apartment. They make my feet warm and comfortable. I have so many pairs of them and so I can change then regularly.

We should change our socks daily because wearing the same pair for an extended period of time can lead to a buildup of sweat, bacteria, and odor.

Socks should not worn twice without washing. To main personal hygiene one is expected to have a clean sock daily. There are germs and infection that can be contracted..
