Changing Socks Often Can Improve Foot Health: MD Podiatrist

 
“People typically think about the shoes they’re going to wear if they have a long day on their feet ahead of them, and their choice in sock is not usually the first thing that comes to mind,” says Dan Michaels, DPM. “However, socks can have a substantial impact on pain relief when they provide breathability, cushioning, and compression.”
 
According to Dr. Michaels changing your socks out every day is typically enough to ward off athlete’s foot, blisters, and foot odor that can come from wearing socks too long. If you’re prone to sweaty feet, are on your feet all day, or use compression socks for health reasons, however, he recommends changing them more frequently.
