I wear workboots so by the time I get home I'm ready to take my socks off or put another pair on.

A two day sockathon would have to be due to an emergency like an impromptu night out!

 

Once or twice daily, depending on how you're counting:

Get up
shower
clean pair of socks
work
shower
clean pair of socks
bed

So two pairs per day, but is that one change of socks or two?

 

wtf you sleep in socks?

 

Off on a tangent about the origin of that phrase...at the time, bathing was quite often considered a medical thing. Daily cleansing was usually done with rough cloth and water. There are various recipes for "washing water", which smelt nice and might or might not be more effective than plain water. There's also writing advising vigorous rubbing with a dry cloth for most of the body. Always water for hands and face, though.

So it's likely that the famous comment about Elizabeth I having a bath relatively frequently whether she needed it or not probably wasn't about her being unusually clean. People were generally at least quite clean in those days, especially wealthier people.

 

No, but on re-reading my post I can understand why people might read it that way. To clarify: I wear the second pair of socks during the time between showering after getting home from work and going to bed. I take them off before going to bed.

 

At the bare minimum, I change them every single day.
If I'm going out straight after work, I'd have a clean pair in the car with some babywipes and give the feet a good clean and dry before changing them.

I use more feet creams and potions than my girlfriend (she thinks I'm OCD).

 

Back in the late 50s/early 60s we had a tin bath that was got down every Sunday just before Sunday Night at the London Palladium came on.
I went in it first followed by my Mummy and then my Daddy went in it last.
The rest of the week I stood up in the sink to be washed.

 

18?

 

Re OP

When they can stand up on their own like a pair of boots.

It is time to be changed!

 

I change my socks every full moon. My foot odour is on a par with Hugo Boss, parfume le homme. It's like walking in a French summer vineyard with a hint of cheese.

 

18 what?

 

The sense of olfaction scale. 18 is bad.

 

1850s or early 1860s is what he is saying.

 

This is like the people who reuse towels what is wrong with you change your underwear and socks daily more so if you have been to the gym or some other exercise you dirty people

 

Every day.

 

Is this a special foot towel or do you pass the foot sores on to your other body parts?

 

Where is the more than once a day option? I cant be the only person who changes socks two times a day?

 

People without athletes foot.
