I've been giving my dorfs only plant cloth socks to wear before I caught a web-spewing FB to mass produce silk, and for some reason my fortress is littered with worn silk shoes more than I see any other items of worn clothing. Is it because they're made out of silk? There are also fewer worn silk socks littering the fortress than there are silk shoes despite the shift to making both out of FB silk started at the same time, but I guess this is because shoes protect the socks from wear? Is that a thing in the game? Could that be why shoes wear out more than everything else, regardless of material, since logically they're always in contact with the ground?

Dwarves are primadonnas who want brand-new clothes the moment anything is even slightly dirty. You probably have an excess of silk shoes, so the moment they scuff them, they switch them out for new kicks.

Well, they haven't invented doing laundry, and they tend to wear shoes non-stop for months...

Poor lads and lasses need to figure out putting clothes in the river and rubbin' em on stones.

You're expecting too much from creatures that only take baths once every few months or so.

I didn't realize dwarves will take baths on purpose. Do you build bathhouses for this?

Just build a well and they'll take a bath when they feel they've gotten too dirty. Provide soap to increase happy thoughts and stave off infections.

Actually, they don't even need a well, even murky pools will do.

You CAN build a bathhouse.  As long as the rivers don't freeze you can place a building over one, add a well, put in soap and floor grates.  I tried it once and they used it as a bathhouse.
