In what circumstances is this permissible?
Can I do this at work? And can it be done on any types of sock? What is the correct way in which to do this?
^agree, not only is it extremely nauseating to the person praying behind you, what was worn back then and the socks of nowadays are very different.
it was tough, and almost functioned like a shoe, there is no comparison to begin with.

But, wiping water on your socks can make your socks smelly right? Or is this situation only happened in tropical countries...
The maximum period one can wipe over the socks is a night and a day. Note that I said 'Night and day' and not 'Day and night', it's because in Islam the night comes first and then the day. So when a night and a day have passed, wiping over ones socks will no longer be valid until he takes those socks off and does wudu again and then puts them back on, thus giving your feet some rest and fresh air.
If the Prophet (saw) had socks on he would wipe over them and if he didn't he would wash them.
And if a person doesn't wear socks all the time and washes his feet 5 times a day whenever he goes for prayer, are his feet really gonna smell?

If you wear leather socks they will also cure smelly feet. My feet have never been smelly but my husbands feet were so smelly that our bedroom constantly stunk of smelly feet and it was so difficult to get rid of the smell. But now since hes started wearing leather socks I havent smelt even a slight whiff. So I definitely reccommend using leather socks rather than ordinary ones.
