I think it depends upon exactly how the socks got wet to begin with... I mean, getting caught by a wave on the seashore, as you walk along the beach for an evening stroll, would feel pretty bad - You'd probably have to go home early to change them...
However, if they got wet from the urine soaked floor, of a dirty mens restroom, where you deliberately removed your shoes before entering? Well, that would be a different matter entirely!
