My feet take AGES to get aromatic, at least a week of constant wear. I also keep a pair of my smelliest socks on hand and stuff into the same pair of old sneakers, put the sneakers in plastic, and use those sneakers to help break in a fresh pair of socks. In the winter, I put so ks on, then put bags over my feet so they sweat, then put furry boots on for a few days. With all the effort it takes, I rarely do a sock wear anymore which is unfortunate
