    How Do I Prevent Holey Socks? You can prevent holey socks by purchasing quality socks, trimming your toenails and allowing the socks to dry flat. Hanging them to dry or using a clothes dryer can cause the elastic to wear out faster. You can also use fabric softener to help protect your socks.

    Sock darning has a long tradition for a good reason.

    It might be the size of your shoes, either width or the length. Sometimes if the shoes are too tight they will press against your toes and put holes in your socks.

    Try to buy socks which are well cushioned and breathable.

    Why in the heck would you wear two pairs of socks, how uncomfortable. 

    How fast do you put holes in your socks? Socks do eventually wear out. Trim and file your nails. Buff off all rough skin. And buy a decent pair  of socks.

    Trimming is fine, but do you also file? Try that, and also try buying a couple of pairs of better-quality socks. It could be a saving in the end.

    I find once a month spend $25 or $30 go get a pedicure.  Helps eliminate tough skin or nails you might of missed on trimming. Lotion your feet daily.  Change shoes daily give them a chance to breath and reshape.  Change your socks daily hang them outside they need to breath as well they are made out.of fabric.  Don't buy socks from Walmart or Target they are garbage.  Buy a base white pair of socks, buy moisture wicking, reinforce heel and toe black socks.  Put the white socks on first then put the black socks on over them make sure both pair are on correctly and the appropriate size.  I own 50 pair of white and 50 pair of black socks with reinforce heel and toe.
