socks...
I know, odd subject, but I'm finding it difficult to obtain socks that don't need replacing after less than a month. Obviously, buying cheap is a false economy as I find I'm replacing them so often.
So, what's the secret? Where do you buy your socks? How long do they last?
Or am I the only one who has this problem?

Re: socks...
My socks wear out too, I use 2 pairs now which seems to help, one thin pair and a thick pair over that.

Keep your toenails really, really short.
Honest! It's the only way to get your socks to last.

Re: socks...
toenails are short - and I'm sure I'll regret saying this, but, I have the issue at both ends

Re: socks...
My mam bought be some hiking/walking socks. They do the job for me, nice and comfy and don't wear out. They don't get too hot either.

Also wash every day of course, and if you have atheletes foot, be sure to treat as it tends to rot the socks!

Re: socks...
thank you everyone
and please note, I don't wear one pair of socks for a week at a time! I change my socks twice, sometimes three times a day.
