I wear wool socks year-round, but my body has a propensity to collect fungus. I got those fungus-y toenails, which were gross. I took the medicine to get rid of it, and you're only supposed to use it once per lifetime, and I've taken it twice. (Oops.) Now I'm extra cautious about fungus, so I change my socks more religiously than changing my underwear. So I have two rules about socks: (1) no cotton socks ever, and (2) change my wool or synthetic socks every day.
