You can throw your socks once there are holes from wear and tear. This may sound simple. But sometimes, we tend to ignore a hole in the heel or the toes. Once a hole appears, you can throw your socks away. Most of the time, we tend to look at our closets and re-evaluate. In this process, we release the Mari Kondo vibes in us and see what we can discard and which ones we can keep. Deciding is hard. Most of the time, garments that are to have already been discarded get kicked back into the closet. And so, they wait again until next year. But this should not be the case. This process is a perfect opportunity for you to take inventory of your items. This should be the ideal time for you to see which ones to discard and which ones to keep. The rule is always simple. Once the garments are already stretched out, they should already be out the window. To help you decide, here are a few common things you need to watch out for. Sneakers How long you keep them is how long it stays intact. The time it stays intact is actually dependent on how much you use them. If you run in these shoes, six months would be enough time for your shoes to start wearing down. But if you wear them as comfortable walking shoes, perhaps this would last for about ten months. In total, your shoes would last for about 400 to 500 miles. Shoes without proper shock absorption can lead to injuries. And so, if your shoes are no longer giving you that, consider dumping the pair. They are no longer wearable. Shoes should also be discarded once the heel is already worn. Compare one side of the heel with the other. If one side is more worn than the other, this is a signal for you to get a new pair. Underwear The usual underwear can last for up to two years. But they can also last sooner than that time frame. Wear and tear from constant use can get into the underwear far sooner than expected. If the underwear is not supportive or doesn’t fit right anymore, throw them away. They would no longer be that comfortable. And if this is the case, it’s high time to get a new set of underwear. There are also other instances when you need to junk your underwear. One example is when you changed your body shape. It could be you gained or lost weight, which is reason enough why the underwear is too loose or tight. Too tight underwear can result in vaginal irritations. This is especially true if you are wearing thongs. One sign that it is too tight is if the fabric wedged into your butt cheeks becomes too tight. This can cause irritations. Your Pair of Socks One indication that it is time to ditch your pair of socks is when you see holes. It could be a hole on the toe or a hole by the heel. Wear and tear usually result in holes on these parts. And when the holes appear, it is time to buy a new pair. We tend to forget about holes once in a while. But these holes can result in your foot getting blisters. The friction your skin creates with the shoes can also cause rashes. It can even injure your skin. Consider replacing your socks every year, even if these are not battered enough. But think about the cushioning. Because after a year, the cushioning it provides can diminish. So, think again. Open that closet. And get rid of those that shouldn’t be there. It’s time to hit the stores!
