One day only! Trust me, you can't smell old socks but everyone else can! They also make your shoes stink. In the same vein, never wear closed shoes without socks unless you want them to be eternally smelly

If clothes touch skin directly then they are put in the wash every day (socks, underwear {boxers}, tee shirt, shirts etc...) other wise it is a check to see.id still.good for follo days - did jeans get muddy / dirty, did I spill coffee on trousers etc... jeans go in wash after a week of wearing even if no spills / mud
Whatβ½
People donβt change their sock daily? Do you use the same underwear too? Am I abnormal-er?
Anyone who says more than a day is more beast than man. That said we are on lemmy, so yes you are likely abnormal.

Once a sock comes off I cannot put on a used sock again. So at least once a day for me.
I exercise regularly so Iβm changing socks like twice a day.
Socks are for the weak. I wear sandals unless itβs a formal occasion and even then I only wear socks to protect my Jordan 1 low Pandas from me.
Office work 2-3 days.
Obviously it depends on a bunch of things... type of sock, type of shoe, type of activity, weather, et cetera.
Generally clean socks every day is nice though.
Feet sweat. A lot. Like a pint (450g) of sweat a day or more if particularly active or you have larger feet.
So for me, daily at the least. On particularly active days, multiple times.

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.
Wool socks? Camping on a beach i would have just washed them in the water at least once and gone sockless while they dried.

The only clothes I wear multiple days are pants and sweaters. Only on days when I barely used socks I may wear them two days in a row.
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".
Once a day and once every two days if I didn't use them much.
Had to every day with cotton. I can rotate my merino wool socks throughout the work week. 2 pair for 5 days.
