Hello i was just wondering if their was anything wrong with wearing socks all the time except for when i go to bed. Also i was wondering if anything would happen if i wear ripped socks on my feet

If your socks are the correct size and clean (ripped or not) I would think their should be no problem. Socks cause problems when the hold on to moister or are to small or rope around a part or a foot or if your running around and snag on something tripping you.

Get socks the correct size appropriate for the activity and clean them. I recommend synthetic over cotton but only slightly.

Dear Anthony
There is no problem with wearing socks on a daily basis as long as the socks are clean, dry and changed daily. I would recommend to avoid wearing socks with rips or tears, since they may cause abraision or sensitivity to those areas which rub against the skin.
