@ThewTheKooky @FullTimeSailor No, socks are for whicking moisture in an otherwise enclosed area.
Wearing them to prevent chafing? To me, that's like the argument of using chapstick every day to keep your lips from chapping, or putting in eyedrops every day to keep your eyes from getting dry.
Normal people who don't do that don't have that problem. People only develop that problem if they do those things habitually.
