I went to sports authority 2 buy new shoes but I wearing sandals so the guy tells me to try on shoes with socks there was a bin of individual socks that customers can use? So I did and then bought the shoes and wore them out but now I got to think how many guys tries these on before me and is this safe or no?

There is nothing wrong with wearing used socks (provided the previous wearer does not have a contageous fungus like athlete's foot). With the scenario you described, the socks were not worn for extended periods of time--just in the store to try on shoes. So, they probably look clean and smell good or you wouldn't have gone near them. It's rather like wearing a restaurant's dinner jacket when you didn't bring your own. Not the best thing, but people do it, and people live through it.

Unless you now have a fungus as a result stop worrying and be sure to bring or wear your own next time,
