How often should I change my socks?

As a general rule, you should change your socks every day or every other day depending on activity level and sweat production. This is especially important for diabetics. Having enough clean socks in your drawer is essential.

If you're active or have sweaty feet, it's best to change your socks daily to avoid bacteria buildup that could lead to infection or irritation.

Additionally, if your socks have become damp with sweat during the day, it's best to change into a fresh pair in order to prevent any discomfort or problems related to moisture buildup on the skin.

It's also important to choose quality socks that offer features such as suitable sock length, moisture wicking material or cushioning for extra comfort and support throughout the day.

Quality materials and construction will also ensure that your socks will last longer and won't need replacing as frequently as cheaper options might require.

For diabetics, foot care is especially important. One of the most overlooked aspects of diabetic foot care is sock management. The right socks can help reduce the risk of foot problems and keep the feet comfortable.
