What you need to know about wearing socks: Frequency of change and durability

Socks are an integral part of our daily lives. Whether for work, sports or just to feel comfortable at home, we wear socks every day.

But do you really know how long you can wear the same pair of socks? Or how often you should change them?

In this article, we'll answer all your questions about wearing socks, with a focus on durability and quality. Get ready to have your feet well-informed :)

How long can you wear the same pair of socks?

The length of time you can wear the same pair of socks depends on several factors. First, it is important to consider your level of physical activity. If you are active and sweat a lot, you should change your socks daily to maintain good hygiene and prevent unpleasant odors.
For example, when you are playing sports, it is strongly recommended to change your socks after exercise.
On the other hand, if you lead a less active lifestyle, you can wear a pair of socks for two consecutive days, as long as they are not dirty or smelly.

How often should socks be changed?

Ideally, you should change your socks every day. This ensures good hygiene and prevents fungal infections such as foot fungus. Socks can retain moisture, bacteria and odours, so it is best to wash them after each use. If you are short on clean pairs of socks, at least make sure to turn them inside out to air them out and let them dry completely before using them again.
Otherwise, you can buy yourself some pretty pairs of original and fancy socks on Label Chaussette ! And yes, you will fall for our fancy socks made in France and our gift boxes of socks .

How long does a good quality sock last?

The durability of socks depends on the quality of the materials used and how you take care of them. Good quality socks, like those offered by Label Chaussette, are designed to be durable and resistant to daily wear and tear. On average, a quality sock can last about 3 years with normal use. However, it is important to note that certain factors, such as the intensity of physical activity and washing conditions, can influence durability.

A sock at Label Chaussette can even last up to 5 years if it is well treated. We have experienced this as have many of our customers.

How to keep your socks for a long time without them getting holes?

Some tips to extend the life of your socks:

  1. Wash your socks inside out to preserve the colors and fibers.
  2. Use a mesh laundry bag to prevent socks from getting tangled with other clothes.
  3. Use cold or lukewarm water for washing, rather than hot water which can damage the fibers.
  4. Avoid using fabric softener as it can reduce the elasticity of the socks.
  5. Let your socks air dry instead of putting them in the dryer.

Now that you know all about wearing and caring for socks, you can make informed decisions to keep your feet happy and comfortable. Remember to change your socks daily and opt for quality socks like those from Label Chaussette for optimal durability. Take care of your socks, and they will take care of your feet all day long.

The French Days are held from September 24 to 30, 2024. During this week, French companies and products are in the spotlight! Label Chaussette offers you promotions and discounts of up to -30% on its iconic pairs.

How were the French Days created?

The French Days were born in 2018 from the desire of several major players in French e-commerce to create a period of promotions similar to the famous American Black Friday . Their goal was to offer French consumers a shopping event focused on significant discounts, but in a setting closer to their culture and calendar.

Major French retailers such as Cdiscount , Boulanger , La Redoute , Rue du Commerce , Showroomprivé , and Fnac Darty have joined forces to organize these online and in-store sales days. The idea is to boost French commerce after the summer period, by creating a highlight dedicated to good deals, while promoting French companies and products.

What are French days?

French Days are days dedicated to exceptional promotions , where consumers can benefit from significant discounts on a wide range of products, including household appliances, fashion, high-tech, furniture, and much more. Unlike classic sales that last several weeks, these promotions are concentrated in a shorter period, usually 4 to 6 days, which encourages consumers to act quickly to not miss the best offers .

This moment has become an unmissable event in the world of e-commerce, with attractive discounts sometimes comparable to those of Black Friday. Label Chaussette is notably offering discounts on its iconic pairs, which you can find at €12, €15 or €17 instead of €19!

What are the dates of the French Days?

The French Days take place twice a year, with one edition in the spring and another in the fall . The exact schedule varies slightly from year to year, but typically the spring French Days take place in late April or early May, while the fall French Days take place in late September or early October.

The dates of each edition are announced a few weeks in advance by the organizers. This year, the French days 2024 are therefore from September 24 to September 30 inclusive.
